“That Pelosi is quite the leader. /sarc”

-When reached for a comment on Charlie Rengel’s decision, Speaker Pelosi said, “John McCain’s choice of Governor Palin was an error in judgement.” she repeated this several times before moving toward the cameras with a haunting, bug eyed look on her face and adding, “I’m ready for my close up Mr. DeMille.”

Her’s how it unfolds......NOTHING happens to Rangel and he re-elected by 110.

[Ann Archy]

I have NOT heard one word about this on MSM!!

One of these days I’m gonna go over to NOLA and see if I can find that guy. I wonder if he knows he’s a celebrity?..............INTERNATIONAL celebrity?...

..... That wouldn’t surprise me one bit. My thinking was only focused upon how the situation might be exploited by the Pubs.

It’s a real thing of beauty to behold, eh? ;-)

No, No, No.
Obama steps in, gets dems behind having Rangel removed.
Claims I’m a reformer and have tackled coruption in my own party. All a setup.

[Red Badger]

Yeah, that and those “Lower gas prices” she promised........still waiting for that one......

[martinidon]

When do you think the MSM will ask Obama what he thinks about the situation.......

Remember the Good Old Days when a House Ways & Means Chairman could actually lose his job for personal indiscretions?

Democrats rarely step down. Most Republicans, when caught in a scandal or at least accused of one, do step down.

Wrangel is the complete politician. He is above the law having much power and authority. He jsut strikes me as a person that wants you to beg him for everything, and tell him how great he is when he helps you. In other words, a pig at the trough.
