A group of women billing themselves as "Charlie's Angels" is hosting a fund-raiser later this month for Charlie Rangel's re-election.

The invite for the June 21 event includes a long list of "Angels," which leads with some of Harlem's elite--Alma Rangel, Joyce Dinkins, Portia Paterson and Leatrice Sutton.

Also on the list: Council Speaker Christine Quinn; Councilwomen Inez Dickens and Jessica Lappin; former Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields; Suzy Ballantyne of AFL-CIO; Bill Thompson's wife, Elsi McCabe Thompson; and longtime feminist icon Gloria Steinem.

"Attire: Ladies in white please!" requests the invitation.

Here's the full list:

Fundraiser - or freak show? You decide.

"Attire: Ladies in white please!"

Isn't that sexist AND racist?

[Red Badger]

Would that be Gloria, Sally and Sally?..................

Since someone is going to post pix of these harrigans, I ask the obvious question...

Is Helen Thomas on the list of attendees?

Rangel is a Korean War vet, yet he's in bed with the pro-North Korea Workers World Party...

From Workers World Party:

"Dear Comrade Kim Jong Il...

With his leadership [Kim Il Sung], the Korean people defeated the Japanese colonial occupation and soon after brought about the first defeat of the U.S. imperialist military machine. ...

Workers World Party values our close, comradely relations with the Workers Party of Korea very highly. We are proud to have known Kim Il Sung as a great leader and a comrade in the international communist movement. ..."

With comradely solidarity, Sam Marcy Chairperson, Workers World Party" (1994):

But here's other evidence of his speaking at the event:

"Among the many speakers were elected representatives—U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel and New York City Council members Charles Barron and Margarita Lopez—who have bucked their party to come out against the war. Barron has also introduced a Troops Out Now resolution in the City Council."--Workers World Party

wouldn’t it be more appropriate to refer to these ladies as ‘the herd”?

[hometoroost]

I heard the campaign theme will be “Send lawyers, guns, and money.”

I thought Charlie’s Angels were Farah, Kate, and Jaclyn.

Wrong Charlie, right angels...............

Rangel’s Ho’s..............

These psychos of the left not only defend their crooks and sleazeballs, they celebrate them! Any Republican 1/10th as corrupt as Rangel would have been gone by now. If the NRCC and other organizations do not make TV ads using Rangel as the poster guy for Demo corruption in the fall campaign then I’m not sure they deserve to take a majority.
