Spare A Few Bucks For Charlie Rangel?

Rangel (AP).
Everyone's favorite censured congressman, one Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-Manhattan), has some hefty lawyers bills to pay after all that ethics violation bother. So he is turning to you, his friends and neighbors, to help him out in a tight spot (worked great last time?). Today Rangel announced that he has started a defense fund where supporters can donate up to $5k to the cause. Because what better to give a man censured for financial shenanigans than cash? In all seriousness though, the fund aims to be on the up-and-up with former New York State comptroller H. Carl McCall acting as trustee and quarterly contribution disclosures planned.

    Tell that self-satisfied fat fuck to sell some assets like the DR condo, and get his wages garnished like normal people.

    Screw the Charlie-hatin'. I bet if you were ever in distress and rang his office, he'd be one of the first to get you outta trouble.

    People said the same thing about Boss Tweed.

    True, and Tweed died in jail -- on Ludlow Street.

    Does that excuse him from being a crook?

  • langleycollyer

    Oops. Sorry for double-post.

    If he needs cash he should throw house parties at all five of his rent-stabilized apartments.
