Democrat Charlie Rangel, the poster boy for corrupt politicians, blames slimy New York newspapers for the perception that he is somehow dishonest.
Here’s how the New York Post, apparently the slimy newspapers to which Rangel refers, reports the story:
Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) was asked about his failure to disclose about $700,000 in assets this weekend in Harlem by my pal Azi Paybarah of PolitickerNY — and responded by saying he was a victim of a New York Post smear campaign.
The charming, churlish House Ways and Means chairman, who is the subject of several ethics committee probes, blasted away at the Murdoch-owner tab — even though the disclosure story was reported by POLITICO and other news outlets.
“I think it’s totally unfair for the New York Post to send investigative reporters to my family’s homes and to do that type of thing,” he said during a rally in Harlem over the weekend. “I guess it’s all selling papers.”
Charlie Rangel. Leader of the culture of corruption for the uncultured.

This is an obvious campaign ploy. The more Rangel steals from whitey, the more black votes he gets.
wasn't it a big deal when john mccain and his wife had more than one home? now we have this jagoff who forgets to report tons of money in income from his more than one home....and nothing?
Let's be honest - Whom among us hasn't accidentally forgotten to declare ~ a $million on our tax returns?
