Would we see another democrat getting a promotion for breaking the law?
Charlie Rangel Tax Evader would he be promoted like many who broke the law or just a pat on the back that he got some idiots to believe that its republicans fault.
That is what happens when your a democrat and break the law. Take Sandy Berger for example did he go to jail no bet he be getting a promotion soon.
In my world Charlie would get promoted to be head of the chain gang.
The list of excuses offered by Rep. Charles Rangel for failing to pay taxes on at least $75,000 in rental income from his luxury beachfront villa in the Caribbean grows longer. Now the Associated Press takes the Harlem Democrat, who is chairman of the powerful tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, to task for inaccuracies in his personal financial disclosures to Congress.
There’s nothing new that’s overly juicy—although the sloppy form-filling only reinforces the perception that Rangel is a financial scofflaw. But his excuse is priceless: "While over the years I delegated to my staff the completion of my annual House financial disclosure statements, I had the ultimate responsibility."
This kind of linguistic deviance, in which one seemingly takes responsibility while in fact deflecting blame elsewhere, is fast becoming an art form with Rangel. It’s probably best summed up by two lines from a news conference he held last Wednesday to deflate the issue: "I sincerely regret and take personal responsibility for these errors," he said. And then, "I personally feel that I have done nothing morally wrong."
