A party for a crook. What fun.

[ronnie raygun]

Look, Andy “evil eye Cuomo” partied with Rangle on his birthday celebration before his ascendancy to the throne in NY so think of the connections. Doesn't it make your stomach turn as you wander in disbelief?

[DaveA37]

The doesn’t even come close to the Demorats party held immediately following the impeachment of Billy “The Womanizer” Clintoon.

No doubt Rangal “The Rat” didn’t deserve ANY recognition but then, who’s counting?

It’s called “Honor Among Thieves” I believe........

[Darkwolf377]

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) lauded his “long and highly decorated service,” joking that the two men were “in some ways cut from the same cloth” because they shared “a particular concern about our appearance.”

BARF ALERT

Boehner, who pushed for Rangel to resign as the first African-American chairman of the Ways and Means Committee

MEGA-ULTRA NUCLEAR-LEVEL BARF ALERT!!!

I stopped reading there.

Putting aside what a joke Boehner has become, the writer seems to be implying Boehner wasn't asking Rangel to resign from being the chairman, but that he was asking him to resign as the first African-American chairman. Does he get to come back if he calls himself an Asian?

[Venturer]

What a pack of phonies.

There really are not two parties, only a pack of political thieves out for the good life at our expense.

I wouldn’t trust any of them to take a 50 cent bank deposit to the bank for me.

Boehner should be ashamed to have even shown up.

[Ann Archy]

OMG! Disgusting!

[The_Media_never_lie]

This is really sick. Birds of a feather flock together.

He, and a lot of others in Congress should be jailbirds. Shamelessly corrupt!

[SMGFan]

We need a new speaker in Jan 2013

[Past Your Eyes]

This is the reason you hear “Throw them all out and start over”. And who can argue with that?

[Rocky]

Congressmen have no principles, apparently. Whether they are Republicans or Democrats, they have no principles.

It’s all about position, status, backroom deals, and winning elections.

NO PRINCIPLES.

[Average Al]

I suppose even a group of cannibal rats enjoy each others company. ;-)

[television is just wrong]

the representative with a LEARNING CURVE.

what a joke he is

[ExTexasRedhead]

Insanity on display; all these Elitist hack politicians have to be voted out in disgrace ASAP.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

(Boehner)...joking that the two men were “in some ways cut from the same cloth” because they shared “a particular concern about our appearance.”

Whisky Tango Foxtrot?

Rangel is black with straight hair, Boehner is orange.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Former Police commish and Republican Benard Kerik, one of the most decorated cops in NYD history, is doing FOUR years for doing a fraction of what Democrat Rangel has been doing for YEARS.

[jennings2004]

Idiots, all!

[q_an_a]

What everyone in Congress and all the people that elect them do is show the differernce between say Major League Baseball and congress - can you say Peter Rose or Shoeless Joe Jackson. break the laws of your game and you are removed from EVERY SINGLE RECORD BOOK...worth reading.

[ken5050]

Why we need term limits...

[Georgia Girl 2]

I almost lost my Sat waffles when I read this one. Honoring a censure recipient. When did we all fall down the rabbit hole?

But here's other evidence of his speaking at the event:

"Among the many speakers were elected representatives—U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel and New York City Council members Charles Barron and Margarita Lopez—who have bucked their party to come out against the war. Barron has also introduced a Troops Out Now resolution in the City Council."--Workers World Party

"Rangel is an avowed admirer of the former Cuban President Fidel Castro. In April 1993, the congressman introduced legislation to repeal the Cuban Democracy Act of 1992, which ended U.S. assistance to the Castro government, and to lift the American embargo against Cuba. When Castro toured Harlem in October of 1995, Rangel greeted him with a bear hug at an event in a local church, where the congressman joined in a prolonged standing ovation for the visiting dictator."
