It would be nice if the Republicans would focus on the economy and not go on the political withhunt of a great national figure like Charlie Rangel.

One of Rangel''s BEST QUOTE''S EVER
Feb 13th, 2007 When asked what he thought about the President. "Well" he said, "I really think he shatters the myth of white supremacy once and for all." LOL

Washington insiders think the rules of government don''''''''t apply to themselves. Gov. Palin isn''''''''t a Washington insider and that''''''''s what gets their panties in a wad.......

So, after the WTC-1993 (where a car bomb was parked in the WTC parking garage) and WTC-2001, Homeland Security REALLY allowed an unregistered vehicle to sit in a Congressional parking garage for FOUR years?

This is yet ANOTHER example of Bush`s failure to protect Americans from possible harm.

This is another example of your ignorance!

Lets get more in depth with this one. I was managing an Auto repair shop in DC from 1994 to 1998. Rangel was a Customer and friend of the owners. At some point he wanted us to have this same M/Benz towed to our shop and repairedas "it had been sitting awhile". He''d asked me a few questions about it and just trying to feel out the price for repair. When I responded with guess-timates. He flared and insisted that we should tow it for free and repair cost should be trimmed because of who he was and his relationship with the owner. I couldn''t believe that someone that holds a pretty high office was being such a cheap-skate. He exclaimed that he would find someone else to do the work within his expected "financial parameters". If this is the same vehicle and I''m pretty sure it is, it would mean he has left it parked there for over 10 Years. This story just shows how much these kinda guys expect the world to allow them leeways because they feel important. If I was the service manager of the Dealership I''d get money up front before doing any repairs.

Rangel is sleazy. So is John Boehner. If it were a Republican, John Boehner would be defending him to the end, and would never have initiated a censure motion before any investigation was concluded. John Boehner is just a f''ing hypocrite and slimy old-time partisan.

This man is a phony.

You see he did not try to preserve a vintage
Chevy or Ford, but rather a foreign car.

This is what this two-face thinks of America.

You wait, the GOPigs will be here in a minute trying to raise this infraction to the level of lying multiple times to the public serious abuse of powers and ignoring subpoenas. Sad, but wait and see.
