That seat he has in Congress had been previously occupied by another very notorious crook, Adam Clayton Powell.

So don’t expect things to improve there.

Agreed, he and Powell are birds of a feather and there’ll be another one elected.

I remember hearing Jack French Kemp gush over and over about “my friend Charlie Rangel”. I am unsure if Charlie returned the favor.

How will his replacement be chosen? A special election?

No, he’ll serve out his term, it’ll be filled in this upcoming election.
