[WBL 1952]

Charlie Rangel opens his mouth...and mocks the South: (hat tip: reader CRB)

“It’s not just committees — our influence within the House Democratic caucus will grow enormously,” Mr. Rangel said in an interview.

To that end, he sketched out an expansive federal agenda: Teaming up with Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on gun control, passing new tax incentives for urban job programs, and redirecting federal money to New York in return for the outsize tax collections that the federal government makes here.

“Mississippi gets more than their fair share back in federal money, but who the hell wants to live in Mississippi?” Mr. Rangel said.

And many of us who live in New York State are embarrassed by Rangel.

[DrewsMum]

well said.

[DrewsMum]

So then it's not true? Harlem does not contain those types of people?? Seriously, enlighten me.

[nitejohnboy]

Oh yes, we can say that! Who the hell would even want to DRIVE thru Harlem let alone live there?

[nitejohnboy]

but "they're so poor and so black"-- per Wolf Blitzer covering the hurricane.
Along comes Charlie. He'll make sure they remain poor. Us too come to think of it.

[nitejohnboy]

you don't think HE lives in a slum do you? He probably shares that penthouse with Willy Boy. It may be Harlem but its not like any Harlem a poor person ever saw.

[nitejohnboy]

Give that man a hug and a kiss from me!

[nitejohnboy]

I understand its gone downhill here of late.

[nitejohnboy]

WELL, he wanted one in a more expensive building but it was more than the government would pay an ex-president for an office. So he opted for a less expensive penthouse in a gentrified area of Harlem. He loves Harlem, you see. He used to go there when he flew into LaGuardia Airport as a college kid. Yes, even then he was black inside. Who knew he would become our first black president?

[nitejohnboy]

Sean is always massaging this guy.

[nitejohnboy]

The people who came up to help after 9-11 should deluge this fat pig's office with bills for services rendered.

[nitejohnboy]

She'll say "Yes, Charlie" as she kneels to kiss his ring.

[nitejohnboy]

Is that a Latin word? Seriously. I always thought it was an anagram of "vote".

[Dmitry Vukicevich]

Or New York City, too much snobbery for me, give me old fashioned down home country folk anytime.

who the hell wants to live in Mississippi?” Mr. Rangel said.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Now there's a case of the pot callin' the sunshine black. I wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard someone say, "New York's a nice place to visit but I'd never want to live there" (smile)

[photodawg]

Can we say "Who the hell wants to live in Harlem"?

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Bill Clinton. Nuff said.

[IIntense]

Well, Charlie Rangel isn't in Mississippi, so that's one thing it has going for it

That one caught me by surprise...I exploded in laughter! I love your wit...I'm still laughing!

[IIntense]

"...live in Harlem"?

By all means. You have my permission.

[dixiechick2000]

There's one thing that I found out tonight.

I feel very sure that the food is still very good.
But, they no longer offer Black Bottom pie.

That was my favorite...:o(

Nite.

[onyx]

Oh, Oh. Well, Black Bottom pie was likely too decadent anyway. :)
