[...] telling themselves how “humbling” it all is. These are people like Hollywood Henry Waxman and Charles Rangel who’s home thinking up new ways of emulating mafia bosses. Perhaps Pelosi had a mimosa with her [...]

Where’s the Repubs and the libertarians? Why aren’t we hearing something, anything from them? If I was a Republican in the House or the Senate, I’d be talking to anybody that would listen….get on the radio, some kind of talk show…anything to let people know what kind of sleazebags are in Congress. Should elected officials be held to a higher standard? – damn straight skippy.

I say Rangel should be punished by putting him in stocks in the middle of a public square in his district with a sign over his head that reads:

“Let him who has never forgotten a bank account of a half million dollars cast the first stone.”

if we can place police officers on paid administrative leave why can’t we do the same with rangel…send him home where he can’t do much damage to us…he isn’t that important to the nation as a whole anyway…

A Charlie Rangel Kind Of Christmas…

For New York Congressman Corrupt Charlie Rangel, every day is Christmas! Where else can you get paid to suck the teat of the American citizenry, violate the tax laws with impunity, and have the Black Congressional Caucus kiss your fat ass and tell you…

Republicanvet – no, what matters for Pelosi et al is that a few of the Congressional Black Caucus back off from full-throated defense of Rangel.

There’s probably few seats in the country that are safer Dem country than Rangel’s; they’ll get a Dem in there no matter what.

Y’know, it’d be very good for the country if we could get to the point that we could toss one congressional or administration sleazebag a week, but I’d settle for one every other week.

Our society has at least progressed enough in Rangel’s lifetime that he can now be thrown under the FRONT of the bus.

He had a “Sudden Recollection”? How the hell do you have a half million dollars just slip your mind??

My God…I freak when I know I had a $20 bill in my wallet that I can’t find. I cannot imagine that anyone would buy into his crap.

Must be nice to be so freaking rich that a half-million dollars just “slips” your mind.

And this bozo who writes the tax laws, along with the rest of the nitwits in his party cannot understand why people are upset at taxes….when they struggle to pay them.

We are not all like Cholly discovering massive stashes of cash we “forgot” about.

And if someone did, they would likely be investigated by the IRS for how they got the money, how they could forget about it, and whether they paid taxes on any interest income.

OK. who wants to bet against a finding of no violations?

Chuckles will be tossed lightly under the bus once the ‘Crats figure out how to hold onto his seat.

Nothing else matters other than having a ‘Crat in that seat, so when they figure that out, it will be portrayed that Chuckles will be meaningfully and harshly punished by….

stepping down.

Nothing else will happen to the thief.

It is not just him. To many in government need to be tried for Treason. He is an example of what is wrong with Washington, and why so many Americans are P.O.

In its statement, the committee wrote:

“The investigative subcommittee has collaborated in a bipartisan manner in the performance of its duties and obligations. To that end, the investigative subcommittee to date has: authorized the issuance of close to 150 subpoenas; interviewed approximately 34 witnesses resulting in over 2,100 pages of transcripts; reviewed and analyzed over 12,000 pages of documents; and held over 30 investigative subcommittee meetings.”

And still we don’t know squat.

Add more things to investigate to delay, delay, delay until the agenda gets taken care of.

They will investigate charges he trimmed his toenails in public in 1962 if it will keep him in his position.

This is just a travesty.
