I suspect a way harsh censure or reprimand will come down from on high. Way harsh.

Oh no...not the dreaded "sternly-worded warning."

Not THAT!

I just hope they don’t go for the ultimate punishment of having Obama write a stern letter to him.

Heard his two challengers last evening. Either one would be an astronomical improvement. Audience—about 95% black—agreed.

Hmmm.... interesting. Are these two Democrats?

The ONLY WAY this would have happened would be if Rahm and his pet idiot Obama gave the order to throw Rangel's fat thieving carcass under the bus.

Why? The Republicans would have obviously made Fat Charly an issue in the 2010 elections.
