Interesting.

It's time for you to go Mr. Rangel, we can't afford you anymore.
Sorry Charlie.

[Pablo175]

Charlie needs to retire.

[Jacqueline3]

There should be term limits to these positions. These guys have these positions until they die.

Old pal Rangel is gradually becoming an albatross hanging around the neck of Democrats. Is he, or is he not? Did he, or did he not? Answers must be sought for on his finances before he becomes a distraction!

[rollingdivision]

Democratic stalking horse distraction to keep real primary challengers away.

Is it possible that he just forgot about the income in his accounts? In corporate America, the retirement age is 65. If you can't afford to retire you go work for Walmart. Mr. Rangel has the resources to retire. I don't understand the need to work until they carry you out with a toe tag if you don't have to.

it's hard to be critical of repugs when this crook remains in charge.

[OldHick]

They cannot lose. It is a little revolving door. Lobby, inside, Lobby, inside.

If Pelosi showed some chutzpah by kicking Rangel off the Ways and Means Committee, she'd deflect a lot of the criticism that comes her way.

[Ifticar2]

Pelosi shows a lot of chutzpah all of the time. The trouble is that it is almost always misdirected.

[Pablo175]

Agreed. The hypocrisy is painful.

[OldHenry]

The voters in Rangall's district will send him right back to congress as if this never happened.

We get exactly the government we deserve.

[pj-smith]

its' time for him to go...

too entrenched in moneyed interests...

buh bye

[brit prof]

Are there even a a few good men left?

[yukoner1]

Is there no other 'Old Bull' in the Democratic Party to tell him it's time to go and take the plug in the bottom of the swamp with him?

Rangel Owns NY and unless withdraws or is thrown out, wins relection almost no matter what. Would have to be literally stone cold busted.
