Resign Charlie! …Oh, wait. Resign (after Nov. 4) Charlie!
Pelosi (Sept. 2008): ‘I See No Reason Why Mr. Rangel Should Step Down’
Pelosi (Nov. 2006): “This leadership team will create the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history”
The Candidates Stillborn Fiscal Policies
NY Post is all over it:
Then, over the weekend, came news of a host of new Rangel miscues, stretching back years.
Some were detailed by the newspaper Roll Call, which reviewed his congressional disclosure forms:* Rangel never reported, as required, the sale of a home he owned in the District of Columbia.
* Nor did he disclose any income from the sale of a Harlem apartment - whose value allegedly doubled while he owned it.
* He also failed to report income from the sale of a condo in Sunny Isles, Fla., though property records show a $60,000 profit.
* Moreover, in 2002 his forms listed new investment holdings of $115,000 to $315,000 - with no disclosure of how he acquired them. The next year, he reported another five new cash assets, worth at least $268,000 - again, with no indication of where they came from.
Obviously, life in Congress has been very, very good to Charlie Rangel.

Life is not an easy matter … You cannot live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you a great idea which raises you above personal misery, above weakness, above all kinds of perfidy and baseness.LeonTrotskyLeon Trotsky
