According to Rangel’s lawyer, Lanny Davis, we should blame Rangel’s wife.
We have a black state Senator here in Massachusetts who was found to have failed to file a state income tax return for,IIRC,two straight years.When asked why she said that it was because she was receiving racist death threats at the time and,thus,was too upset to file.
I swear to God this is true! Ya just can't make this stuff up!
