Some punishment.... they shake their finger at him and say, “Shame! Shame!”

We’d be in jail.

“Three Republicans who favored reprimand over censure were Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), Don Young (R-Alaska), and Ron Paul (R-Texas).”

Duly noted.

Following the vote, Rangel walked down to the well of the House to receive his public rebuke, alone and looking somber, as Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) read a list of the violations.

A House Censure... similar in effectiveness as a UN Security Council sternly worded resolution... “Stop! Or we’ll tell you to stop again!!”

Why was Rangel so mortified over congressional censure, begging for a reprimand, when all it comes down to is a half-hearted tongue lashing from some chick who isn't even going to be Speaker of the House next month?

I could stand up through this ridiculous 'censure' with a smile on my face eating jumbo shrimp cocktail the whole time pretending I'm not even listening to their stupid crap.

This punishment means nothing. Less than nothing.

I watched the entire thing on C-SPAN. House members first voted for an amendment and then voted for the censure. Both times the chairman or speaker took an oral vote first and said it was his ‘opinion’ that the amendment passed and that the vote for censure failed. Both times he was proven wrong and by a very wide margin. It’s amazing how the rules allowed for that bastard to try and hijack the vote based on his ‘opinion’ when he was clearly lying both times.

Charlie is lucky this didn’t happen in 2011 — they would’ve thrown the book at him as he deserves. This whole affair just shows that Charlie belongs to the privileged democrat class.

Punishing a crook is only wrenching when it comes to dems.

Give me a few million in graft, free housing and tax breaks and I’ll stand there and let them yell at me all they want. They can yell until they get tired of it, I’ll take my punishment.

Boo-Effin-Hoo for Charlie. Had any of us, outside of the political class done what he did, we'd be in jail. Heck, they even locked up Wesley Snips!

recalled it was 60 years ago this week he had been wounded in the service of his country in Korea

Sorry Charlie, but just because you once served honorably doesn't give you pass when you become a scumbag... After all, wasn't Timothy McVeigh awarded the Bronze Star?
