Charlie Rangel resigns from the House Ways and Means Committee
Another mobile post, I just couldn’t wait until I got home to post this story.
Better late than never. Earlier today Charlie Rangel resigned as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, and it didn’t come a moment too soon. In fact, it is a little late in my opinion.
Charlie Rangel claims that this is a temporary resignation, but the time to step aside temporarily was during the investigation, before he was found guilty; now that he has been found guilty it is time for him to step aside permanently. And this isn’t the end of Charlie Rangel’s problems, he is still being investigated for several tax fraud issues and it was outrageous that this man was allowed to head the committee that writes the tax laws while he was being investigated for evading those very same laws.
Today he stepped aside so that Democrats wouldn’t be forced to vote on his resignation, I would have preferred that Democrats would have to go on record either for or against Rangel, but the bottom line is at least justice has been served… for now.

Stick a fork in the old coot. He’s done. Too bad he was able run amok until he was almost 80 years old though.

Believe Charlie is leaving for another $500,000 vacation package. That’s quite a time share deal he got. We plan on visiting his place in Costa Rica since we paid for it.
