Maybe Obama can give him a job. He would have to cheat on his taxes to be eligible for a position in Obamalot.

"Excuse me, Congressman Rangel, do you think the Weiner controversy is having a negative affect on Congress' approval ratings, and that he should resign for the good of the assembly? Congressman Rangel?"
