[Washington Post] Almost exactly a year ago, members of Congress voted overwhelmingly to censure their colleague Rep. Charlie Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers!Rangel Congressman-for-Life from Harlem, who became what 20 terms in Congress turns you into ... for bringing dishonor on the House. Then-House Speaker Nancy San Fran NanPelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace... summoned the New York Democrat to the well and chastised him for his 11 ethics violations, which included improper fundraising. This week, Rangel again brought the House into disrepute -- but this time he had the full support of his colleagues. "Last night marked a momentous evening in my campaign for re-election," Rangel wrote Thursday in a letter to supporters. "At a special event in Washington, Democratic leaders including Nancy Pelosi, the mealy-mouthed Steny StinkyHoyer ... Nancy San Fran NanPelosi's second banana, or plaintain, or mango, or whatever he is... , James Clyburn, Sandy Levin, John ConÂyers, Emmanuel Cleaver, and Steve Israel stood by my side and pledged their unwavering support on my behalf. I am so humbled and grateful for their involvement." |
