By Shane D'Aprile
In a major development, Rep. Betty Sutton (Ohio) on Friday night called on beleaguered Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) to resign.

I suspect that he is the sacrificial lamb to divert our attention from those up for reelection.
And Adam Clayton Powell 1V is going to be taking Rangel’s congressional seat.
Yep, Just another diversion.. expect more. Anything to keep peoples minds otherwise occupied from what Washington is REALLY doing. I still think all these BO vacations are not vacations...but as another poster mentioned...Bo’s getting his orders from those who pull his strings. And I think it’s about how he is going to campaign down the road.
Even so I just cannot imagine this man will do more than pay up and walk. Everything will be a show, but I still believe he’ll get nothing more than a slap on the hands.
thats the plan...
he is more of an octoroon than his daddy. I am surprised he can walk through harlem.
Someone was going to release this in October. Rangel’s time was up.
crickets...crickets...crickets...
Not one.
“Even some demonRats have some scruples... /sarc”
I know this was a sarcastic comment, but the only scruples many RATS have is when they’re forced to in the wide open public, underneath the glaring spotlight. That’s why we need to keep shining the light of TRUTH on ‘em!

“Look, good people. I’m one of you! I finally see that Rangel could be corrupt. I deserve your vote.”
LOL
“Has the NAACP put out a statement about this racist white woman yet?”
Where are Sharpton and Jackson?!
“Just a few of many interesting tidbits on Rangel”
Do you think a (white, male) Republican would have been treated any differently? /massive sarcasm
“Like it matters if Rangel leaves. He will just be replaced by the same scum.”
At least that ‘scum’ won’t be the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee! (and neither will any other RAT - 11/2010.)
I sure hope Tom Ganley wins this. I have relatives in Summit County and I know they would like a change! Thanks for the update!
We’ve seen it time and again in Washington (and in our states)where these lifelong political hacks who’ve become pampered and pompous and accustomed to living on the dole and spending other peoples money bend the rules for themselves.
Every now and then one finally gets caught in the cookie jar. The exception is they get exposed and caught not that they don’t do it. The longer they are in office the more they feel entitled. As a group they feel entitled and they’ve often covered for each other.
I’m all for term limits to keep them fresh and idealistic instead of entrenched and corrupt. Congress is one place where seniority is not better for America.
I hope he has a lot of stuff on them all and sings like a canary. Why else wasnt he gone long ago?
“Im all for term limits to keep them fresh and idealistic instead of entrenched and corrupt. Congress is one place where seniority is not better for America.”
HEAR, HEAR! Seniority is fine - just FRESH seniority with the seniority having been earned in industry, commerce and the like - where people have to EARN their keep - unlike these moronic ignoramuses that are, as you say, pompous, arrogant, feeling entitled.
Paul Akers, a very successful businessman running for US Senate in WA State, referred to the intention of the Founding Fathers to have citizen servants go to DC and then return home. HEAR, HEAR!!

And you shouldn’t on this one.
I read elsewhere that if he resigns, he’s able to keep all his pension and perks.
