Has the DNC actually raised enough money to pay for this Convention? I remember reading just a month or so back they had not.

Rent-Control Rangel must need back his money...but Obama sure isn’t making many friends before his Convention roll call vote.

Rangel was a bought and paid for H! man.

When you look up "self-serving sanctimonious creep" in the dictionary, you see his picture.

Damn-—Rangel can’t get a break for trying. Even Obama’s shrugging him off (snicker).

Great music and graphic!

Poor ol’ Charlie “who wants to live in Mississippi?” Rangel seems to be in Obama’s doghouse.

It’ll be accepted once Rangel launders it though Hamas in Gaza (GA).
