WASHINGTON – Rep. Charles Rangel announced Wednesday he will temporarily step down as chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, saying he didn't want his ethics controversy to jeopardize election prospects for fellow Democrats.
The 20-term Harlem congressman held a news conference on short notice, telling reporters, "My chairmanship is bringing so much attention to the press, and in order to avoid my colleagues having to defend me during their elections, I have this morning sent a letter" asking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "to grant me a leave of absence until such time as the ethics committee completes its work."

Good for Wrangler, uh, Rustler, Um, theif Rangel. Bad for the DUmboRAT party and PeeLOUSY for not having the professionalism, integrity, courage, and decency to sanction him and ignominiously strip him of his Chairmanship.
Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.

I think Charlie needs a bigger watch.

If Rangel were white and a Republican, he'd be, at this very moment, enjoying a lovely vacation roasting on a spit over hot coals.

:mad: DAMN. I liked being able to point to his unethical ass in that important chairmanship. Even the most blind idiot can see how crooked he's been.
Stand up for what is right, even if you have to stand alone.
