Hell, he embarrasses himself...

WASHINGTON (CNN) — New York Rep. Charlie Rangel, a prominent supporter of Hillary Clinton, sharply criticized Republican presidential frontrunner Rudy Giuliani's personal life Monday, highlighting the fact that the former New York City mayor and his wife have each been married three times. "Two people, six spouses. It's a little complicated if you're not religious, especially if you're running against a Mormon," Rangel told CNN's Wolf Blitzer in a reference to Giuliani's chief rival, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. For the record, Romney has only been married once. "I think America has to look at all these things, and there are enough moles on this man that embarrasses those of us who have sought public life," the 19-term New York congressman added. "When we get involved in public life, it means we're in a goldfish bowl. It would seem to me, with all the breaks the mayor had, being involved with his personal problems, he would thank God he's gotten as far as he did go without making the politicians get involved in his personal life." Rangel brushed aside the notion that criticizing Giuliani's personal life exposes Hillary Clinton to similar criticism. The former first lady’s own marital troubles have been well documented. "You can say it over and over and over again. This woman got married [and] stayed married [to] the same husband. When they had problems, she stuck with him. You tell me what in her personal life is something she should be ashamed of, and I want to talk about it." Contacted by CNN, Giuliani spokeswoman Maria Comella said, "This kind of ugly, personal attack isn't even worth a response."

Well Maria if your man wins the nomination get used to it because you haven't seen nothing yet...
Rangel will surely get a lot of amens around here about Giuliani. Why pay for milk when you get the cow for free?
Charlie Rangel, you you embarrass yourself.
Not that it really matters, but has Rudy's wife actually been married three times also? I though it was just two.
Hell, he embarrasses himself...
Ol charlie drunk again
Rangel embarrasses the entire human race. I kinda consider him a benchmark for the intelligence of all those that vote for him.
Are you *sure* you want to go there,Charlie Boy? So poker it is? We’ll see your divorce and raise you a dead lawyer.
you think that’s bad when democrats attack rudy on family values. wait for a story like this!
New York Rep. Charlie Rangel, a prominent supporter of Hillary Clinton, sharply criticized Republican presidential Ron Paul’s foreign policy, highlighting the fact that he wants to cut and run even faster than Hillary!
I certainly hope FR isn't filled with Charlie Rangel fans. This ain't DU.
Rangel aside, is it possible that Rudy may be the candidate who can beat the democatic nominee? I admit I don’t know much about most of the Republican hopefulls, but that one I will support will have to be the one I think can beat the Dem candidate. I’m a pragmatic guy that way.
Well, Charlie, maybe the fact that she's stayed married, solely for political advantage, to a serial adulterer who also committed sex acts in the Oval Office with a girl young enough to be his daughter. In a sane world, i.e. a world where Charlie Rangel isn't shooting off his mouth, that's something to be ashamed of.
Oh, that paints a really bad image.
For all of Rudy’s personal problems, when it comes to embarrassment, nothing beats big city Democrats, Charlie.
I certainly hope FR isn't filled with Charlie Rangel fans. This ain't DU.
I'm not a Rangel fan but if Rudy gets the nomination be prepared to see the dirt fly with Hilary's willing cohort's in the MSM giving the likes of Rangel plenty of free air time.
I’m wondering what Rangel’s postion was in the Tawanna Brawley case many years ago?
If the FBI was inclined to focus its investigatory powers on Rangel I think it wouldn’t take long to put him, or most of the New York congressional delegation, in the pokey. Hillary Clinton is “junior senator” and she is crooked as a snake. Guiliani, at least, has always been on the right side of the law.
