Asshat of the Day
Apologies for not posting one of these for yesterday – I was caught up in all of the primary election returns from around the country (yay Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper in CO).
No contest for today’s award – Congressman Charles Rangel. Isn’t it ironic that in 1970, he beat scandal-burdened Adam Clayton Powell and now scandal-burdened Charlie faces Adam Clayton Powell IV in next month’s primary. Rangel is accused of using his office for personal gain, much like ACP was. Rangel should do the honorable thing and resign & pull-out of next month’s primary. He’s no better than Bob Ney, Jim Traficant, or Jack Abramoff.
I thought it was suppoed to be Asshat “comment” of the day. If you open it up to all asshats just on general principles, it will be a full-time job.
His entire self-serving speech on the floor of the House more than qualifies.
considering he is going to hurt the entire party… and by extension, the country … (since the republicans are bad for the country) I say Rangle is asshat of the election cycle.
