Look, Andy “evil eye Cuomo” partied with Rangle on his birthday celebration before his ascendancy to the throne in NY so think of the connections. Doesn't it make your stomach turn as you wander in disbelief?

The doesn’t even come close to the Demorats party held immediately following the impeachment of Billy “The Womanizer” Clintoon.

No doubt Rangal “The Rat” didn’t deserve ANY recognition but then, who’s counting?

It’s called “Honor Among Thieves” I believe........

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) lauded his “long and highly decorated service,” joking that the two men were “in some ways cut from the same cloth” because they shared “a particular concern about our appearance.”

BARF ALERT

Boehner, who pushed for Rangel to resign as the first African-American chairman of the Ways and Means Committee

MEGA-ULTRA NUCLEAR-LEVEL BARF ALERT!!!

I stopped reading there.

Putting aside what a joke Boehner has become, the writer seems to be implying Boehner wasn't asking Rangel to resign from being the chairman, but that he was asking him to resign as the first African-American chairman. Does he get to come back if he calls himself an Asian?

Exactly. Each of these guys is thinking, "Poor Charlie had a good thing going but was too dumb and got caught. I'm pretty slick and they haven't caught me yet, but you never know what is coming. We've got to stick together, protect each other, and comfort those who do get caught."

What a pack of phonies.

There really are not two parties, only a pack of political thieves out for the good life at our expense.

I wouldn’t trust any of them to take a 50 cent bank deposit to the bank for me.

Boehner should be ashamed to have even shown up.

This is really sick. Birds of a feather flock together.

He, and a lot of others in Congress should be jailbirds. Shamelessly corrupt!

This is the reason you hear “Throw them all out and start over”. And who can argue with that?

At least Boehner didn’t cry. There was really NO need for this from the Republicans, who won’t gain a single vote from playing up to this censured congressman; let Rangel’s sycophants show up with the phony compliments.

Congressmen have no principles, apparently. Whether they are Republicans or Democrats, they have no principles.

It’s all about position, status, backroom deals, and winning elections.

NO PRINCIPLES.

(Boehner)...joking that the two men were “in some ways cut from the same cloth” because they shared “a particular concern about our appearance.”

Whisky Tango Foxtrot?

Rangel is black with straight hair, Boehner is orange.

Former Police commish and Republican Benard Kerik, one of the most decorated cops in NYD history, is doing FOUR years for doing a fraction of what Democrat Rangel has been doing for YEARS.

I can. Why would you throw out your allies?
