“Mercy” he pleads...he’s not a crook....just special.
Hey Charlie remember the theme song from that old TV show starring Robert Blake ? The one where he was a cop ? Beretta was the name of the show I believe. It went something like this.....” Don’t roll the dice if you can’t pay the price.....don’t do it “........” don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time......don’t do it “. You helped write the tax laws that you broke....and you want mercy ? And don’t use your military service either as a plea for mercy. You cheapen that service for all who have / are serving. The IRS would have jammed it to Audie L Murphy himself if he cheated on his taxes. Remember what they always told us in the Army Charlie ? Lead by example......not a very good example are you Charlie ?
The only difference between Rangel and the rest of the DNC is a carnation. Until the entire DNC is held accountable, it would be perverted to make Rangel a whipping boy.
