current affairs

I just cant help but shake my head when reading or listening to Charlie Rangle . Never could stand to listen to his arrogant sound bites, and now it has caught up with him.

He is trying to claim that we should forgive and forget because he has been around for 40 years and of course he did no wrong in all those 40 yrs. These are "acts of omission", as he puts it. We are supposed to believe that "corruption and personal enrichment are certainly not part of my mistakes" . What a bunch of crap. misuse of his office for fundraising for the college center named after him-not personal gain?? campaign office in a subsidized residential-only apartment not personal gain?? misleading financial statements-not personal gain?? failure to pay taxes for 17 years on rental income-17 years!, not personal gain. He was head of the committee that oversaw tax legislation. He is an embarrassment to our government, let alone to the Democrat party. He should be removed from the House, and the fed needs to pursue him for the back taxes and penalties just as they would pursue you or me..

Your time has come Charlie-don't let the door hit you in the rear on the way out.
