Is sooooooo funny. Rangel has been dragging out this thing for 2 years, asking for more time (hoping it will just go away). Now that the R’s have won the House and will be chairing the investigating committee’s after New Years, he want’s his “trial” N-O-W, while the D’s are still in control of everything. He, like the majority of the Democrats in the House, is nothing but scum and should be wearing an orange jumpsuit and a full set of shackles and chains.

Why do we let Democrat “lawmakers” get away with breaking the law and not pay a penalty by going to jail?

There, fixed it.

I know they are stupid. I guess what I’m trying to say is that Rangel isn’t stupid...he’s a willful, evil, scumbag.

So he’s breaking ethics rules to defend himself against charges of breaking ethics rules?

Most liberals exhibit circular logic akin to a Möbius Strip.

[Little Ray]

Rangel should be jailed, and the assets of his “PAC” should be seized.

Did u hear, that Rangel walked out of ethics meeting today...mad because they would not give him more time to get attorney...lol As much illegal activity as he has done should mean he has one on retainer!

Define irony:

“A corrupt US congressman, on trail for various ethics violations, using PAC money for his defense, which is a clear violation of House ethics.”

Paraphrasing Garland Greene - “Con-Air”

I’m reminded again of a joke Jay Leno used years ago, that Congress is a work release program for people who haven’t been caught yet.
