Club For The Galacticly Stupid

Comic-relief Representative Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), who last month told Americans that assault weapons are killing “millions of kids” in the United States, is suing seven lawmakers — including House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) — to have his House Censure from 2010 overturned.You may remember that clownfest from three years ago. The House smacked Rangel hard, voting 333-79 in favor of the rebuke for Rangel’s admitted involvement in:.....
........Michelle Malkin noted Monday that Rangel might be courting disaster by asking for an examination of how the Ethics Committee did its investigative work. It’s possible, after all, it didn’t catch every crime and malfeasance the first time around.

My Take - I would be willing to bet that almost everyone else in the United States who dodged income taxes on rental property for 17 years, filed misleading documents knowingly to the IRS, failed to report three million in dealings from 2002 to 2006 and didn't list the earnings on the sale of property would have had to worry about a lot more than censure.  He didn't go to jail, he didn't lose his seat in Congress, he didn't' pay the big fines ordinary citizens would have paid, and he is still whining.   In fact two other prominent Democrats,  former Senator Tom Daschle and Tim Geithner who became Secretary of the Treasury all were also caught making “honest” or “careless” mistakes so none of them had to pay the penalties everyone else would have to pay.  I can’t wait for him to declare that it was all inspired by racism.
