WASHINGTON - Embattled Rep. Charles Rangel's Mercedes-Benz was towed yesterday from the House of Representatives parking space he had been using for years in violation of congressional rules. As a tow truck pulled away the 1972 silver sedan under the watchful eyes of five Capitol police officers, House Republicans voted almost unanimously to oust the Harlem Democrat from his chairmanship of the powerful Ways and Means Committee in the midst of several ethics scandals.
The measure, however, failed. Rangel refused to answer questions about the car, whose registration expired in 2004 and which has sat in the House garage, covered with a tarp and bearing no plates.
"I told you I am not discussing that," Rangel told The Post yesterday. "I want to be kind and gentle - please let me be."

Above the law? Say it ain’t so.
“I want to be kind and gentle - please let me be.”
ROTFLMAO .... scoff law begging for privacy.
He’s a one man “culture of corruption”.
Oh the humanity! If Charlie has to start paying for all his illegal perks, along with taxes owed on undeclared income, he won’t be able to afford grease for his hair.
Well-stated!
Is it me or is the corruption of Washington being unraveled before our very eyes?
YOUR DAYS OF MAKING MONEY OFF OF MY HARD EARNED MONEY IS OVER!!!!!!
I EMPLOY YOU MR AND MRS CONGRESSMAN......DID YOU FORGET?
YOUR FIRED!
They couldn’t get Charlie so they got his Mercedes.
You got that right. The first time I saw him years ago on the tube, I thought to myself “that man is corrupt!”
I vote to leave Rangel’s Mercedes in the House Garage.
Just tow away its owner.
I know, it won't happen.
Whats up with Charlie?
Removing Charlie as chair of Ways and Means, now thats change we can believe in!!!
GIAGANTIC LOL!!
That headline has some many puns for puns sake that it is unintelligible. Toe-nailing is a carpentry technique. Charlie Parker was a jazz musician. Neither is remotely relevant to the story. Maybe the Post thinks if one pun doesn’t cut it, try two.
Federal's gone Feral. Details at 10:00.
Hey Chollie, just who the f*** do you think you are?????
Dat not grease.
I keep losing in the pool; the day Charlie plays the race
card!
Obama's busy using it and won't loan it back to Charlie.
