Charlie Rangel opens his mouth...and mocks the South: (hat tip: reader CRB)
“It’s not just committees — our influence within the House Democratic caucus will grow enormously,” Mr. Rangel said in an interview.
To that end, he sketched out an expansive federal agenda: Teaming up with Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on gun control, passing new tax incentives for urban job programs, and redirecting federal money to New York in return for the outsize tax collections that the federal government makes here.
“Mississippi gets more than their fair share back in federal money, but who the hell wants to live in Mississippi?” Mr. Rangel said.
Definitely. He certainly is NOT from Central New York. After all, golly..gee.. Back this'n way..we have horses, chickens and cows..oh my!
:-)
Oh! Snow! We have plenty of that..in months to come.
I don't think New York needs more federal tax dollars. Ever stayed in a hotel in NYC? There is local hotel tax, NY state tax, even a fee for the Javits Center (convention center) regardless of whether or not your trip has anything to do with it. New York is swimming in tax dollars. Chollie's letting his greed - for money and power - show early.
I understand it used to be the American equivalent of the Gaza Strip, before Giuliani.

Not many people drive through Harlem.
Please... when is the last time you were up there? You can't touch a brownstone for under $1.5 mil and two bedrooms are going for upwards of a million. The place is booming.
I sure don't, been there, done that, place is filthy, noisy and outrageously expensive.

To me it's home. And there's no reason to assume I love my home any less than others love there hometowns.

Jackie Mason gets it!
Not us here....
Probably in the Red Light district too.
The residents in the area of slick willie's office were not happy that he was moving there. They did NOT want the SS in the neighborhood. LOL....cuts into their drug dealing, etc.
I don't know if I hate the media more because they lie about US, or because they cover up for THEM.
Wouldn't this be a great NYTimes headline??
& he might take it too...
Charlie, most of the people I know left New York City a long time ago. The rest wish they could get out.
Thank you in advance for adding me to the Malkin ping list. I love your page.
Got me worried now, I was thinking of applying for a federal loan for a indoor bathroom, my outhouse is leaking.
Don't be fooled, Harlem is looking pretty good these days.
Who wants to live east of the Rockie Mountains? (Yes, I'm baiting you guys, but the point stands.)
Have you heard the names of the democrats who are going to be heading up all the commities, they make Hillary look conservative.
It will :0)
