Cash Cow - Charlie Rangel

There must be a pony in here because that's a big pile of shit.

You knew the answer before you asked the question. You might as well have put it in blue font. I'm guessing that's why you didn't get an answer.

For real? I thought it was pretty well known -- especially for someone who follows politics as closely as you do -- that Gerry Studds was the last member to be censured.

He needs to go to prison.

 

Has anyone ever been kicked out of congress or the senate?

Charlie's career has been extended -- or maybe not.

 

Rangel may have fixed an election?

 

But . . . but . . . he was doing God's work!

Ask Ralph Reeeeeeeeed!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Since when is it up to a candidate to count the ballots?

The Board of Elections is still at work.

You just can't raise the flag and expect to salute it every time ...
