Default Charlie Rangel

Guy needs to be gone yesterday!

In September......"The statement accurately points out that Rangel and Waters had expressed a desire for an earlier trial date. Even before his successful primary bid on Sept. 14th, Rangel had publicly demanded an immediate and speedy trial that would clear his “name from these vile and vicious charges.”

"I’m not asking for leniency,” said Rangel at one point during his primary campaigning, requesting that the Committee “give me a hearing” on his 13 pending ethics violations.

Now "Rep. Charles Rangel of New York pleaded Thursday for “a drop of fairness and mercy” as he braced for likely punishment for his ethical misdeeds.

The 80-year-old Rangel was convicted Tuesday on 11 counts of violating House rules. He misused his office in fundraising for a college center named after him, set up a campaign office in a subsidized, residential-only apartment unit, made public a decade of misleading financial statements and failed to pay taxes for 17 years on rental income from a beach villa.
