Washington Post to Rangel: Step down, you're embarrassing yourself
Great editorial today from the WaPo about Charles Rangel, yes the Charles Rangel who's ring Joe Garcia found it necessary to bend over and kiss earlier this year:
The New York Times reported on Tuesday that Mr. Rangel helped preserve a valuable tax loophole for an oil and gas drilling company while the company's chief executive, Eugene M. Isenberg, was pledging $1 million to the Charles B. Rangel School of Public Service at City College of New York. Mr. Rangel insists that the mutual favors were entirely coincidental. And quite a coincidence it seems to have been. On Feb. 12, 2007, the Times reported, the day the tax legislation was being considered in his committee, Mr. Rangel met in New York City with Mr. Isenberg to discuss the businessman's support of the Rangel School. Then Mr. Isenberg escorted Mr. Rangel across the room to his lobbyist, Kenneth J. Kies, who wanted to make sure Mr. Rangel would not close the loophole.The revelation is the latest in a litany that has come to light since the summer...
At a time when President-elect Barack Obama is holding frequent news conferences to reassure the markets and the American people that he is ready to lead the nation to economic recovery, the last thing he will need is a chairman of Ways and Means caught up in a swirl of serious allegations.
Of course anybody who would write a letter of apology to fidel castro because of Cuban-Americans that celebrated the tyrant's illness is just another pig. And Joe is worse than a pig, he's in the mud kissing the pig's ass.

Henry,
Unfortunately Rangel still holds on to his position when he should have been booted from it several months ago.
Speaks volumes about Nancy Pelosy and her B.S. speach regarding "Culture of Curruption" when she took over the house couple years ago.

If Rangel were a Republican, practically the whole MSM in unison would have been howling like a banshee for his ouster long ago, and he would have have been out on his ass by now.
As for kissing a pig's ass, well, disgusting though it surely is, there is such a thing as bestiality.
