WASHINGTON — The House ethics committee’s chief counsel recommended Thursday that veteran Rep. Charles Rangel be censured for financial and fundraising misconduct as lawmakers neared closure on an embarrassing 2½-year-long scandal.

Chief counsel Blake Chisan called for the punishment despite the veteran New York congressman’s plea, in a prepared statement in advance of the hearing, for “a drop of fairness and mercy.”

But you’re so crooked you couldn’t lie straight in bed.

That greasy scumbag has a corkscrew for a backbone.

“And in other news, Keith Olbermann asked to be declared ‘Not a Partisan Hack’ and Michael Moore asked to be called ‘HWP. Just once.’”.

Poor Al Capone must be rolling over in his grave.

[madinmadtown]

Is this like being named exempt from the health care bill? Is there anyone with a D behind their name that has a clue what the “rule of law” is? Forget, naked screening for air passengers, we need brain scans for the democrats...to see if they actually have a brain.

[Carley]

I assume that corrupt attorney will not be working for the republican committee beginning next month.
