Charlie Rangel Cancels Larry King Exclusive
TV Newser ^ | March 4, 2010 | Kevin Allocca

Posted on 03/04/2010 2:34:17 PM PST by Beaten Valve

Breaking: TVNewser has learned that Congressman Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) canceled what was to be an appearance on this evening's broadcast of "Larry King Live" a short time ago. The show's staff was told that "under the circumstances" Rangel could not do the interview tonight as planned.

Rangel's exclusive had been booked and confirmed, and it was to be he his first interview since stepping down from the chairmanship of the House Ways and Means committee. Rangel is currently the subject of multiple ethics investigations.

A CNN spokesperson tells us that producers pushed for more information from Rangel's reps, but "they just wouldn't elaborate more than that."

More: King tweets, "Just talked to Charlie Rangel and he cancelled for tonight. He understands the importance but says he can't do it under the circumstances"

It must really be bad, since liberal Larry throws nothing but softballs.

“Rangel is currently the subject of multiple ethics investigations...”

Rangel is spending that evening with a bottle of Jack and the shredding machines.

Larry could interview a Rangel sock puppet.

Charlie is probably busy "cramming" for a fairly major "test"...

Charlie’s delicate ego has gotten in the way again.

I don’t understand these CORRUPT politicians. They are legally already robbing the nation of a huge salary, fantastic medical and retirement benefits, and every perk they can dream up. Why be so greedy to mess up such a great gig? The #@#$%^rd needs to be buried.

He probably canceled King to go over to the O’Reilly Factor. He knew King would only soft ball him. LOL

A local NY station labeled him Wesley Snipes...which is kinda funny considering Snipe's IRS/tax problems.

Methinks Rangel’s lawyers just sent him a nice hot cup of STFU.

Maybe they can co host the Larry and Charlie Show comedy act at the casino venues that King is touring.

They’re both con men after all...
