Just lapses, folks, nothing serious. Move along, nothing to see here ...

And San Fran Nan and her cohorts just took another dump in America’s face by rewarding this crooked clown with $1.15 billion piece of pork in an energy bill. How much more of this are you going take, America?
No one has mentioned the obvious.It is a sceurity threat.
In a post 9/11 world, a tarp covered car in the House garage could be used filled with explosives.
Did anyone other than this photgrapher ever check this car?
And this clown is from NYC?
a parked car? that is the best we can do?
seriously so what?
can’t we get a REAL issue here?
I suspect this is us being played by pelosi.
Rangel is a sore in the side of pelosi. I say KEEP HIM AGGRIVATING PELOSI.
Why leak this now? because Rangel just beat pelosi.
Why leak the picture of the man sleeping? (because pelosi is pissed)
FOLKS we need to read between the lines because the DBM is never going to tell the truth.

Anyone else having trouble opening the NY Post this morning?
It’s one of the first places I go every morning but I haven’t been able to open it for the last couple of hours. This link didn’t work for me either.

An episode of "Overhaulin'" to Rangel's Car....
Foose gets started on it after stealing from the Garage...
Half way through he gets indited and the Fed's show up and the car remains in pieces!
Well hell, what did you expect him to do with his junk car? Put it up on blocks behind his house? Next to his satellite dish and basketball goal?
You can put a nice suit on a lowlife bum and he’s still a bum.
Hey . . . ain’t y’all got the message yet?
They’s kings and king makers and then they’s y’all serfs and slaves.
The Bro LIKES being slave master now.
He ain’t about to give up his kingship until they drag him away screaming.
Git used to it whitey!

Er. They couldn't bother to mention that WE lease that big ole car for him?!
From WCBS TV:
You may not realize it, but members of the House of Representatives can lease a car and have it paid for by you -- the taxpayer. And it's not just the car, but gas, registration, insurance … the works.Ya know, I'm beginning to thing Rangel honestly believes we'll buy into all his crapola. He really is that "out of touch", as his comrades like to say.And as CBS 2 HD found out, there's no limit on how much they can spend.
Congressman Charles Rangel was recently seen getting out of his Cadillac DeVille, which he leases for $774 per month....
All those leases are picked up by taxpayers through a little-known program available only to members of the House of Representatives.
Rangel spoke to CBS 2 HD by phone about the seemingly extravagant expenses being racked up on the taxpayers' dime:
CBS 2 HD: "How would you answer those people who say, 'Well, but it's taxpayer money. Instead of $700 a month, could you find something for, say, $300 a month?'"
Rangel: "I could probably find something for ... one of those red cars and then I think my constituents would say, 'With all the money that he gets, this is the respect he shows us?'" [The GALL of the man!]
Earlier, Rangel released a statement, further addressing the issue.
"When I'm in New York, my car is my office. I use it to conduct Congressional business. It really pleases me that (my constituents) appreciate driving in a comfortable car, especially the senior citizens," Rangel said.
"The car isn't just a vehicle for getting around; it's an important part of doing my job and my constituents appreciate it."
