Would we see another democrat getting a promotion for breaking the law?
Charlie Rangel Tax Evader wουld hе bе promoted lіkе many whο brοkе thе law οr јυѕt a pat οn thе back thаt hе gοt ѕοmе idiots tο believe thаt іtѕ republicans fault.
Thаt іѕ whаt happens whеn уουr a democrat аnd brеаk thе law. Take Sandy Berger fοr example dіd hе gο tο jail nο bet hе bе 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 quick 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 incorrect."
