Adam Clayton Powell never "did" anything honorable in his entire career.

That is funny.

Except for possibly the racist part, wasn’t that John Murtha as well?
Yeah, Murtha was another American hero gone bad.
Whether or not he was a racist himself I don’t know, but he played the race card against other democrats who were not backing zerobozo back during his campaign. He said that whites who were not for Obama were racists.
He was another greedy scumbag, but he was pro-life and against gun control, a few steps above Rangel, imho.
Adam Clayton Powel IV is a saint compared to Rangel.
Seems like he and Charlie also have in common the love of Caribbean living. As I recall, Powell also had a villa there.

Bimini is the closest point in the Bahamas to mainland USA (Florida).
It was and is a favorite tropical island for well-heeled, notable fishermen such as Ernest Hemingway, Jimmy Buffett and Zane Grey.
The high-living Powell died in Miami in 1972 at the age of 64. He was cremated and his ashes were scattered on Bimini.
I understand the area where his remains were strewn is still fetid, radioactive hot and contaminated.....oh, wait, that's BIKINI island I'm thinking of, not Bimini.
My error......sorry.
LOL

Cab had class and was a talented man. Charlie is an a$$ and his only talent is theft.
I wish he'd hurry up and die already, and save the cost of a trial.
