Much as I despise Charlie Rangel I don't have any issue with him going Acela first class. It's like $100 for the upgrade - not like a $10000 first class plane ticket.

Agreed. If he were flying I'd be pretty annoyed, but the train...meh.

I'd have a problem if I was in the same car: Rangel turns any First Class Section into the baggage compartment.
