Charlie Rangel Dances At New York Campaign Rally (VIDEO)

Posted: 02/22/12 04:38 PM ET

There ain't no stopping Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) now, at least not from dancing up a storm.

Obispo Annette Jimenez, a New York-based Rangel fan, has posted video of the former chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee dancing in front of his Harlem constituents during a 2010 campaign rally.

The video, which shows Rangel dancing to the McFadden and Whitehead song "Ain't No Stopping Us Now," was posted by Jimenez on her YouTube channel Wednesday. Rangel appears to be dancing with New York City Councilwoman Inez Dickens (D-Harlem), though her identity is not confirmed in the video.

Dickens is mentioned as a potential Rangel successor should the congressman step down.

Rangel, who was first elected in 1970, is currently seeking another term in his seat, which could potentially include parts of suburban Westchester County under New York's unreleased new congressional district maps.

What a joke he is. He has abused his position and is as corrupt as you can get. He needs to be tossed out.

Charlie is a crook, a liar, and a tax cheat....he should be in a federal pen doing 8-12 years.

He is the poster child for term limits.

Lighten up, RosieBagger. Corruption is a helluva lot bigger in your party so your glass house is wafer thin.

what does what party you belong to have anything to do with what rosiebag said. A cheat is a cheat regardless of what party they belong to and Charlie is a cheat! this just shows how closed minded you are demo when you can not even see the truth when it sticks you in the eye.
