Charlie Rangel, the Democratic congressman from New York’s 15th District, is fighting for his political life. Amid a variety of ethics charges, Rangel has been forced to relinquish the chair of the House Ways and Means committee, but has managed a recent primary win and expects to keep his seat in November.
Despite The Malfeasance, Despite The Chicanery And Despite Not Having A Real Job Since 1971, It's Pretty Damn Hard Not To Like Charlie Rangel.
Charlie can’t like his odds for beating the myriad ethics violations stacked against him. However, like a shark which must keep swimming, it’s guaranteed Rangel will give it a go. If there’s anyone capable of extricating himself from his own mess, it’s Harlem’s loveable scoundrel.
Take A Break, You Scamp! You've Earned It.
Promethean Times 
I never understood why Rangel is up on ethic charges, the whole system is corrupt. Pulling one bad apple out of a barrel full of bad apples, by the other bad apples, doesn’t make for a better barrel full of apples. You can not be a child rapist and thumb your noses at Priest that touch little boys.
