Dem leaders, donors to hold Rangel birthday bash at The Plaza By Alexander Bolton - 07/31/10 11:15 AM ET
Democratic leaders and major party donors plan to hold a lavish 80th birthday gala for Charles Rangel at The Plaza Hotel in Manhattan next month, despite 13 ethics charges pending against the veteran lawmaker.
Lobbyists and other party donors received invitations this week to join Sens. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and New York Gov. David Paterson at one of New York’s finest hotels to celebrate Rangel’s birthday.
Gubernatorial candidate Andrew Cuomo and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg are also listed as featured guests, according to an invitation viewed by The Hill.
Some potential guests received the invitation a day after the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct issued a report accusing Rangel of multiple ethics violations.
While some Democrats think Rangel has become politically radioactive in Washington, the invitation lists a variety of enticements to get people to show up to his birthday bash and contribute to his campaign.
Aretha Franklin, the “Queen of Soul,” will serenade them and guests who pony up $200, $500, $1,000 or $2,500 for tickets. The funds will go to the Rangel Victory Fund, a campaign account.

Take lots of pictures and video
“Rangel Victory Fund”
***
Shouldn’t that be “Rangel Defense Fund?”
Its not a birthday bash if you have to pay to be there, its a fund raiser.
Once you become a Made Man, everyone has to suck your c0ck because you can do no wrong.
Such is another day in the Democratic Mafia.
Den of thieves.
If you ever wanted proof that the entire system is corrupt..here it is.
The criminal and vice addict are worshiped and elected to positions of authority in America 2010 A.D. Yet another symptom of the coming death of America!
Valentines Day in August? >B)

Hey, someone tell Pelosi...the SWAMP is gathering at The Plaza in Manhattan!
On the slim chance that Charlie Rangems does get the boot from congress I’m betting his Harlem constituents would give his name the victory in Nov. on the write-in ballot!
Oh wait-—his einsteins in district have to ‘write it in’?-—never mind!
Ethics schmethics, lets throw a party for him. Hey were democrats and we have no morals or integrity, so we might as well break out the booze and have a ball.
Reminds me of this crowd:

Rangel and Bill Aures.
“Guilty as sin and free as a bird”>
No doubt someone will give him an actual “Get of Jail Free” card....
Rangel’s friends and supporters are all criminals too!
Criminals and their whores.
Why do we bow down to theses sewer floaters??
Goes to show what the Democrats’ standard of ethics is...
