BTW, if any congressman wants to adopt me, I can throw together a campaign blog in about half an hour — but that half-hour will cost you $10,000, Dad. …

Oh, wait – what was that? There’s a D behind his name? Sorry, nevermind. No problem here.

““Steven Rangel’s firm was paid roughly $2,500 on a monthly basis — less than the firm that had previously managed Congressman Rangel’s Web and online operation (Network Politics) — and the firm’s fees included money for Web advertising designed to promote traffic to the website,””

If he was promoting the website for campaign purposes that is a decent budget. $2,500 per month buys a lot of Pay Per Click.
Since we cannot see the web site it’s tough to criticize the design. For his purposes the site only needed to have a picture of Rangel, his bio and a few lines saying vote for me!
I’m far more concerned with Obama shoving 800,000 into ACORN’s coffers than Rangel paying his kid to advertise his campaign.

Most ethical Congress ever, eh?

Evah!

There should be howls of outrage and daily headline stories about these miscreants. They think that they are untouchable.

Only on the Internet is there outrage. I can’t wait til the rest of generations in America start getting their news from the Internet. Then maybe more people will shocked & outraged.
Apathy is going to be the death of us.

Victor Davis Hanson has a good column today about the parallel universes that some of the Dem leadership live in, where there is no accountability and no outrage by the media or the electorate. Rangel, Dodd, and Holder are three of the ones discussed.

It’s thuggy-wuggs like Rangle that make me want to seceed from the Union.

It’s that time of the year again. Please join us at the Tavern on the Green to help celebrate Chairman Charlie Rangel’s Birthday at his 77th Annual Birthday Gala. View the invitation and for more information on this event.

Ah yes. A true man of the people.

$80,000 well spent.

I can balance my checkbook and live within my means. Why can’t the government?

Because they don’t have to.

Agree.

When this worthless clown finally croaks, might as well stuff his rotten carcass and prop ol’ Charlie up there like a grizzly bear in a Anchorage Bar.

If that happens, Charlie will be doing more for the American people than he ever did when he was alive, as the capacity of stuffed corpses to steal tax dollars is limited.

oh great! it was bad enough that Obama shares the same birthday month as me, but Rangel too! what other democrat sleaze has a birthday in August?

Sad. Really sad.

That’s what Nancy Pelosi promised us when the Democrats won control of Congress in 2006. Oh, and while we’re talking about ethics, Congressman Rangel (D-Graft), what did happen to the $80,000 you funneled to your son? I swear, “most ethical……

“legal” but not ethical – Most legally not in violation of ethics laws congress EVAH!
