The democrats played good cop/bad cop, and now look like they "took out their
own trash". The reality is, Charlie Rangel will remain in Congress.

I’m shocked...DIMs never step down or give up!

Good news, though....now just to get him out of government altogether! One less crook if he is gone!

Thank God he’s stepping down, but how could a dufus like that get the chairmanship in the first place?

Rangel Giving Up the Gavel
Could step down as early as tonight

Harlem Democrat Charles Rangel now says he will step down as chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, NBC News has learned.

He may make the move as early as tonight and Michigan Democratic Rep Sander Levin will temporarily take over the committee.

Some details still need to be ironed out, but sources said Rangel has been pushed to step down before the House voted on a bill to forcefully strip him of the coveted chairmanship.

Let’s hope it’s just a start.

Like the others have said, he needs to do some jail time.

[savedbygrace]

Pete Stark will go ballistic at being passed over. Maybe he’ll cold cock Pelosi.

[texanyankee]

Shep is gonna talk about it on Fox - after the commercial break.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Sidestepping because he found there wasn’t
enough backing for me after all, but he’ll never go away.

He’ll be a useful idiot for 0.

[presently no screen name]

he’s stepping down

More like pushed out.

[AuH2ORepublican]

Not Stark? Good.

[taildragger]

I wonder what other stuff is going on that may have him under a microscope that hasn't hit the presses yet that has him in an even hotter seat?

[iowamark]

The top 5 ranking Dems on Ways and Means. What a crew!

“”Charles B. Rangel, NY-15 Chairman

Fortney Pete Stark, CA-13

Sander M. Levin, MI-12

Jim McDermott, WA-07

John Lewis, GA-05””

Meanwhile, Tom Delay is the FORMER Congressman from Texas.....
