What's the difference between Charlie Rangel and a common criminal?

Nothing.

(The towing news came via a phone conversation from someone near NY who heard a report.)

You know it’s over when they tow your car. ;-)

Time to wake up and smell the coffee Chuck! You’ve worn out your welcome. It appears that your ‘RAT comrades think that maybe it’s time for you to go home and “spend more time with the family.” LOL!

The New York Post said the parking spaces are valued by the House as $290 a month, which is about the monthly cost of a private DC-area garage space. So that means his $5000 would actually be about $14,000, if you multiply 4 years (48 months) by $290.

Wait a minute! Do these people know who they are dealing with???

All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others.

[Jim Robinson]

Yeah, and that parking space could’ve been put to good use by a good constitution-abiding, patriotic, productive member of congress like... ah, er, oh, hmmmmm.... Oops. Nevermind.

More from the “Culture of Corruption”. I’m glad to finally see some of this cr*p floating to the top and getting the light of day.

The difference between cr and a common criminal? Not difference possible. They are synonymous.

What's the difference between Charlie Rangel and a common criminal?

A criminal is willing to act in a way that breaks the law.

Rangel does not believe the law applies to him.

I believe this parking was part of the slavery reparations package that 0h’B was putting together before the policy was untimely disclosed to the public. Of course since 0h’B nor his family were never American slaves his research group is desperately doing family research, not unlike the Clinton and Kerry camps were doing for their Irish heritage. Perhaps that nasty old grandma has some skeletons in her closet.

[Chode]

whats the difference??? a common criminal can get arrested, convicted and goto jail...

Also, the House Web site says anyone with a reserved indoor space incurs taxable income currently calculated at $100 per month.

Not to be a nit picker, but I want someone to show me a parking garage near the capitol that only charges $3 per day. Not a chance! It never ceases to amaze me how politicians feather their nest at every opportunity. Where the hell is the IRS. I was audited each of the last two years for a hell of a lot less than Rangel's omissions.
