   Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of the New York Times’ call for dirty Democrat Rep. Charlie Rangel to resign amid mounting ethics and tax evasion scandals.

   When the NYT calls for the resignation of a prominent Democrat, it either means:

   a) the prominent Democrat is in big trouble.

   b) the NYT has had a momentary moment of clarity.

   c) nothing at all.

   You decide.

    Congressional Sclerosis? Sounds serious-surgery and a long rest are called for post haste! I am sure the Village of Ossining facility has a rest home suitable for poor, rich Charlie!
    Democrat Rep. Charlie Rangel is a liar, thief, flamboyant and a tax cheat-given his district and city that is to be expected from the white Jimmy Walker to the Colorful Man of Colour Adam Clayton Powell.

    But GOP Rep. Joe Wilson’s outburst was to the House the bigger crime–he called a Liar a Liar; something not to be done in a den of liars, thieves, the flamboyant and tax cheat. So again GOP Rep. Joe Wilson will not be receiving the ACORN Sleaze Bag Award. Poor Joe.

    They took money from me that I didn’t owe. Why can’t they take money from these guys that they owe?

    I don’t make as much money as Rangel does so he’d go much further toward paying down the national debt than stealing from me.

    Oh surely you would not have the IMPORTANT PEOPLE held to the same standards as we mere mortals of the flyover? These IMPORTANT PEOPLE live large on our dime, write laws that only restrict us and otherwise live like IMPORTANT PEOPLE.

    Until we vote them out and say “Be gone-and your overly generous pension is gone” it will be thus. May I suggest that as part of the Stimulus Package we build a Congressional Rest Home and Holding facility somewhere in the Yuma dunes? We could give them closed circuit TV so they could make speeches to each other all day long.

    Isn’t it funny how dirty Democrat Rep. Charlie Rangel is practically drowning in ethics and tax evasion scandals while Pelosi is tripping all over herself to slap down a Republican for shouting “you lie” at her beloved soul mate president? And isn’t it funny that Barbara Boxer, the fox who runs the senate ethics committee hen house can’t seem to find anything wrong and dismisses hundreds of ethics charges brought before her committee. In 2008 there were 98 “alleged” violations brought before the senate ethics committee and 96 were dropped. 2 senators were issued “letters of admonition” (GASP!). In 2007 there were 111 “alleged” violations brought before the committee and ALL REPEAT
    ALL were dropped.

    Can’t everyone see that this is RACISM AT ITS WORST! Charlie Rangel should “get a pass” on his tax evasion since he is a Black Democrat just “heping out” the poor folks–starting with himself.
    ***
    The EVIL IRS should go after some really bad White people–like they did a few years ago when they claimed one of my sons wasn’t really a full time college student 5 years earlier when I legally claimed him as one. Thank heavens for saving 10 years of canceled checks for proof. The IRS wasn’t real “touchy–feely” with me.
    ***
    Maybe if this crook were a Republican White Senator “wide stance toe tapping” his way through the airport toilet stalls the Justice Department could find a real serious violation to persecute. Or maybe he could find another non-crime Scooter Libby perjury trap deal to work on. Nothing to see here with Charlie–move along.

    Very appropriate since everything they say seems to come out of their a$$es! Unfortunately, of the 535 members of both houses, most are charter members of this once shadowly organization.
