For 20 years, Harlem Rep. Charles Rangel has owned a beachfront villa in a sun-drenched Dominican Republic resort, yet has only sporadically declared income on the property in federal filings.
While the villa was rented to paying guests for the past two years, for instance, Rangel reported no income from it in 2006 and 2007, The Post has learned. As a congressman, failure to fully list all income and investments can result in civil penalties or criminal charges.
His three-bedroom, three-bath villa, which can accommodate three couples, is rented for between $500 in the low season to $1,100 a night in the busiest tourist season and is one of the resort's most popular, managers and staff say.

SLEEPING BOOTY: Charles Rangel dozed on the beach at the Punta Cana Resort, where he owns and rents out a villa. He was squeezing in some vacation time before attending the Democratic convention, where he appeared with Hillary Clinton .
that’s phunny!
looks like a beached whale.
Clear your throat, Charlie.
DEMOCRAT CULTURE OF CORRUPTION
Rangel rents N.Y. apartments at bargain rates
Note to his district: ROTF! You folks sure can pick 'em....
yo’ think he’s got sleep apnea?
Charlie's Personal Financial Disclosure Forms
....the ones he files as a member of the House.
Interesting. I wonder if he declared those free airline trips as income on his federal tax return? Oh, that’s right, Harry Reid is on record as saying that federal income taxes are “voluntary” in the US.
he’s doing it for the children dontcha know.
George Orwell
Since the Dems have been attacking John McCain because he didn't instantly recall the entire contents of his investment portfolio as being 'out of touch with mainstream America' I'm wondering if they will similarly upbraid Charlie for being out of touch with his Harlem constituency?
(I don't think that I will be holding my breath waiting for that)
He’s safer there asleep than screwing us in D.C.!
Note that the Dominican Republic North (Washington Hts, NY) is in his district.

"On July 9 (1994), Workers World Party Chairperson Sam Marcy sent the following statement to Comrade Kim Jong Il, the Central Committee of the Workers Party of Korea and the State Funeral Committee of President Kim Il Sung.":
"Dear Comrade Kim Jong Il ...
The National Committee of Workers World Party extends our deepest condolences on the passing of the great leader of the Korean people, Comrade President Kim Il Sung.
Comrade Kim Il Sung devoted his whole life to the Korean people's struggle for national self-determination and the international working-class struggle for socialist emancipation. With his leadership, the Korean people defeated the Japanese colonial occupation and soon after brought about the first defeat of the U.S. imperialist military machine.
For over 40 years since the armistice, the U.S. military has continued to occupy the south of Korea with troops and nuclear weapons. This occupation has been the chief obstacle to peaceful reunification of Korea and poses the chief danger of a new war on the peninsula." ...
"Workers World Party values our close, comradely relations with the Workers Party of Korea very highly. We are proud to have known Kim Il Sung as a great leader and a comrade in the international communist movement. ...
With comradely solidarity, Sam Marcy Chairperson, Workers World Party":
