Rep. Charles Rangel's taxpayer-provided Cadillac DeVille is pulling double duty as his political campaign vehicle...
The dual use of the luxurious wheels for official and political purposes may run afoul of House rules and add to the Harlem congressman's mounting ethical woes.
Rangel's Member's Representational Allowance covers the cost of the 2004 model, which he leases for $777.54 a month.
House rules forbid using any allowance funds for political purposes.
Rangel for Congress spent $4,107 at Potamkin Cadillac on repairs in 2008. Last year, Rangel's National Leadership Fund footed the bill for $2,355 at the same shop.
The principals and family of the Potamkin Group have donated $63,800 to Rangel over the past 10 years

Rangel replaced Adam Clayton Powell who was a crook. The guy who replaces Rangel will be a crook. It’s part of the required resume for that district.
Yeah, but that amount includes 500 bucks a month walking around money kicked back to Chuck.
Clearly, you don’t understand how these things work. /s
That thing hurts my eyes......
You’re absolutely correct.
Julia Carson here in Indianapolis had exactly the same status in the US House, abusing perks far and wide.
Aged and gravely ill, she stayed in office for years though nearly comatose, primarily to receive the gold-plated health care the government provides. Refused to do press conferences or debates of any kind.
When she finally died, the Dems ordained her Muslim nephew as successor.
He’ll be in there for decades.
Chuck meets a fox at a Black Caucus meeting and takes her home in his Cadillac. They stop at a store to buy some groceries since he anticipates an appetite.
On the way home, he points out all the options and features in his wonderful ride, and she is impressed.
So he’s standing on his doorstep with a grocery sack in each arm. He asks her to get his housekey out of his pocket.
She does, and also pulls out a couple golf tees: “What are these?” she asks.
“Oh, those hold up my balls while I’m driving on the fairway.” replies charming Chuck.
She is very impressed: “What will those people at Cadillac think of next?!”
