Ethically-challenged Democrat Congressman Charlie Rangel took to the floor of the House to demand a trial. He talked for 31 minutes. He rambled. He ranted. He raved. He preached. And he did it all like he didn’t have a clue that he’s a dead man walking.
Here are a few of the highlights (or, if you prefer, lowlights):
- “The President wants dignity. Let’s have dignity in this house, where the ethics committee means something. And that none of you, if the newspapers say anything, will have to wait two years before you can say ‘no comment.’”
- “Why did I take the floor today when I haven’t found one lawyer that said I should do it? I haven’t even found one friend that said I should do it.”
- “If I can’t get my dignity back here, then fire your best shot in getting rid of me through expulsion.”
- “Hey, if I was you I may want me to go away, too. I am not going away! I am here!”
This show is definitely going to be worth the price of admission

He'll play the card (well used that it is) and skate into another term.
He's not ethically challenged. He's just a lying sack of shit.
and I have a message for Charlie from the President: "Pot helps, and booze; maybe a little blow when you can afford it. Not smack though." Just trying to help Charlie. Just trying to help.
There is no evidence is his head that he ever did nothing wrong, but everytime he gets da blame. Running pros outta his many rent controlled apartments. Apparently New York government officials don't know that there is a limit on rent controlled apartments you can have - one. He had what, 5? Hookers and coke and crack and every other kinda drug distribution centers. But he had no idea! The Alzheimers only seems to kick into gear when he talks about this.
Toot-toot Tootsie, goodbye.
Oh no, Tootsie, don't cry.
That choo-choo train that takes me
Away from you, no words can
Tell how sad it makes me.
Watch for the mail
I'll never fail.
If you don't get a letter
Then you'll know I'm in jail.
Toot-toot Tootsie, good-bye.
Toot-toot Tootsie, good-bye!

"Sorry, Charlie."
This is one tuna that can keep on talkin' as far as I'm concerned. With every sentence he continues to make the Right's case for anything. What a gift for Fall 2010 campaigners!
this twinkie couldn't go to the men's room "quietly" ....
