has taken care of himself as well, using rent-controlled apartments
given to him by a Manhattan developer,and failing to pay income tax on
a three-bedroom villa in the Dominican Republic (where he’s been
pictured napping).

up rumblings that the Rangel scandal is starting to
register
with the public.

To understand why the Rangel scandals are so dangerous for Democrats,
you need to understand something about midterm landslides: They’re
usually composed of three parts. First, the other party’s activists are
highly motivated. Second, your own activists are highly unmotivated.
Third, independents want to burn Washington to the ground.
There’s nothing Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi can do about the first
problem. The stimulus, the bank bailouts, the auto-takeover and the
health-care push have convinced large numbers of aging white people
that Obama is Mao Zedong, and they’re not going to change their mind
anytime soon. The best response to the second problem is to pass
health-care reform and give Keith Olbermann something to get excited
about. But perhaps most crucial of all is responding to problem No. 3.
Independents are the most fickle, the most cynical, and the least
ideological people in the American electorate. When they’re unhappy
with the state of the country, they tend to stampede the party in power—

That photo may hurt some democrats, but not Rangel, the rat bastard. He represents Harlem, so he'll be reelected, no problemo.
ReplyDeleteHe may be re-elected, but he'll not be on the Ways and Means Committee. That MFCSPOS has stepped down, right before being kicked out.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget, Rangel took his current sear away from Rangel Sr (Adam Clayton Powell). There is a Rangel III out there.
ReplyDeleteDISPATCH:
ReplyDeleteRep. Charles B. Rangel (D-N.Y.) sounded defiant Tuesday night in the face of renewed calls for him to give up his chairmanship of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.
Rangel emerged from a meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) to tell reporters that he's staying as chairman. "You bet your life," he said.
Methinks he has a whole family album of donks with other farm animals.
