NBC News: Rangel Agrees to Give Up Ways & Means Gavel – Or Will He?

MSNBC: After being admonished by an ethics panel for accepting corporate-sponsored trips to the Caribbean, Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., will give his chairmanship of the powerful House Ways and Means committee, NBC News has learned. The top spot may temporarily go to Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., according to leadership sources, or to Rep. Pete Stark of California, the committee's second-ranking Democrat.

Update 8:31PM: Roll Call reports: Despite senior level sources saying Ways and Means Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) planned to surrender his gavel Tuesday night in the wake of an ethics probe, Rangel himself told reporters he isn’t going anywhere. Asked after a meeting with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) if he is still going to be the chairman, Rangel said, “You bet your life.”

If any of the Dem leadership had an ounce of integrity, they would demand his resignation from Congress.

Guess what, they don’t, so they won’t.

Snailmailtrucker   March 2nd, 2010 - 8:19 pm

NOW!
I want this abomination removed from office IMMEDIATELY!

Wright Ayers Rezko   March 2nd, 2010 - 8:19 pm

This is the most corrupt Congress and Administration in US history.

HopeChange20102012   March 2nd, 2010 - 8:20 pm

Let’s HOPE there is some real CHANGE in Congress based on the rout of Democrats in November.

jujubee   March 2nd, 2010 - 8:21 pm

The Dems are just sweeping the porch.

In order to save our country as we know it. We must purge both the Democratic and Republican parties of the Elitist Liberals and Progressives.
We must elect non career leaders that will enact term limits so they do not become career Politicians.

I am donating, and encourage others to donate to Conservative ( I do not mean progressive) primary candidates all over the country.
If we are to survive we must take control of our country.

Unbelievable.

These two goons start making this into a “republican” issue saying…now the republicans are going to get someone worse to “deal” with since they wanted Rangel removed.

Everyone…again, EVERYONE should want him removed. He knowingly broke the law and He also knowingly hid money so he didn’t have to pay taxes to the very entity he holds the gavel to.

Then these two clowns go on and on about how good of a guy this law breaker is!

Seriously, these are the types of people ruining America. Despicable…even more despicable than Rangel because they simply overlook his deeds just because he has a “D” in front of his name.

lock him up   March 2nd, 2010 - 8:42 pm

And next he needs to go to prison. He’s a CRIMINAL.

mudforbrains   March 2nd, 2010 - 8:45 pm

The CBC protects the guy for over a year threatening thier own party with the race issue to keep him there writing the tax code and the health bill.
His own consituents don’t give Rarts arss because most of them don’t pay their taxes either.
My next candidate won’t be racist but he’ll damn sure have the guts to stand up to the black race machine.

He’s been a race-baiting crook his whole career. His mostly black district will re-elect him again because they all know he’s innocent and it’s all the white mans fault.

det819   March 2nd, 2010 - 9:12 pm

You don’t want any democrats from Michigan taking his place. The democrats ran this beautiful state into the ground. Like they say, the only difference between a third world country and Detroit. Is that their is no sheep in the streets of Detroit.

Rangel the Racist   March 2nd, 2010 - 9:12 pm

jujubee
they simply overlook his deeds just because he has a “D” in front of his name.

If you play the race card you ARE a racist

Dave, Tn   March 2nd, 2010 - 10:23 pm

Well that explains how we got this crony capitalism we have now. It’s not that conservatives hate government and got elected to prove government doesn’t work. The Pro Regressive maggots went to Wall St. to prove capitalism doesn’t work. You see anything about government working better now? Prosecute the looters from both parties.

But Nancy runs the most ethical Congress in history, right? http://www.thefedupamerican.com

FastFacts   March 2nd, 2010 - 11:19 pm

That is the thing about criminals most of them are sorry they were caught and not that they committed the crime. He is the same way. He doesn’t believe he did anything wrong and so his ‘apologies’ will never be heart felt. Oh yeah what apology, he hasn’t made any yet.

The Harlem huckster has been stealing money for decades, but his constituents keep re-electing him. Now, tell me, who is stupid?

DEF   March 3rd, 2010 - 12:11 am

Dear ol’ Charlie…..watch the video again, listen to the audio, their disdain of their best friend getting caught, forcing them to come out of the closet to report on it was obvious!! But..at the end of the day Ol’ Charlie must be thrown under the bus, for the good of the greater “Agenda” (It’s not like he can’t still be their friend and come to their parties, funded by the taxpayers)!!!

Mahakala Wagner   March 3rd, 2010 - 12:12 am

Democrat crooks are protecting other democrat crooks. Rangel isn’t going anywhere.

Steve in Pa.   March 3rd, 2010 - 7:15 am

He uses congress like his own personal piggy bank, he’s not going to leave voluntarily they will have to drag him out. You know he does not have any personal ethics by his past dealings.

FREEDOMFIGHTER   March 3rd, 2010 - 9:15 am

BYE-BYE GOOD TIME CHARLIE. WHAT YOU DID WOULD LAND MOST PEOPLE IN THE KLINKER, BUT WE KNOW YOUR ABOVE THE LAW AND WILL GET ALL YOUR BENEFITS AND KICK BACK ON YOUR ISLAND HOME AND LAUGH LIKE HELL.

RobbieK   March 3rd, 2010 - 9:43 am

Pelosi’s Congress prior to this one was the most unproductive Congress in American history, as her goal was to make it that way to get at President Bush. Her 2nd Congress is now the most unethical Congress in American history. Sounds to me like Rangel is a scapegoat and Pelosi should be turning in her gavel also. The Administration in the White House reminds me of the story in the Bible where the earthquake occurred at the time of Christ’s death on the cross, graves opened and the dead were seen walking the streets. I pray every day we survive until the November elections because we have the dumbest people in charge that I have ever seen in my lifetime.
