Bill Kristol: Republicans Should ‘Just Shut Up’ About Charlie Rangel
by Glynnis MacNicol | 1:02 pm, August 1st, 2010
I’m not entirely sure this is the sort of support Charlie Rangel is ideally hoping for, but one imagines that after the President not-so-gently makes it clear he would like you to quietly exit stage left, this may be the best you can expect. On Fox News Sunday today Bill Kristol declared that the Republicans should leave Charlie Rangel alone.
I think Republicans would be foolish [to go on about Rangel]. They should just shut up. There’s a bipartisan effort, let the process go forward. They don’t need to jump on this. Believe me there are plenty of congressmen in both parties that have been imperial an arrogant….Demcrats are going to lose the house and suffer the loss of a lot of Senate seats because of their policies, just like Republicans did in ‘05 and ‘06. And I think the idea that Republicans should just go around throwing stones at Charlie Rangel is just foolish.
Meanwhile, on This Week, George Will speculated that the reason Rangel is getting so much more attention than the equally embattled Mark Ensign is because Rangel is more important. Sort of a double Catch-22. Watch Kristol’s segment below.

Just as long as the verdict turns out differently - eh?
No, The GOP has nothing to gain even if Rangel is ousted. His district will ALWAYS elect a Democrat. The RATs will make their own hay for us.

I agree. He’s just another player in the Democrats demise. Hope the rats are still talking about it in November.
I'm sure that the broadcast going on in your head is so much more reliable.
Remember Rep. Rostinkowski got sent to prison and they found out he was stealing furniture from the Capitol . . . or was that Foley?
Frantzie is right - all this talk is just to make us think something is working right. In truth, Obama’s supporters are just getting rid of Hillary’s supporters.
Keep believing that. The serfs gave up their liberty for the TV clicker. Empowering the regime.
Even better, why doesn`t Bill Kristol STF up! We need to use this against the enemy the way they`d use it against us!
Kristol is a namby-pamby DOLT. I swear there is a milquetoast cancer in the GOP. People like him with no stomach to fight for what is right.
Crystal is a closet liberal.
