Rangel’s Nonexistent Shame
Posted by madjillmom on December 3, 2010
Congressman Charlie Rangel was censured by the House of Representatives yesterday. The outgoing Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, read the censure to Rangel, who was standing in the well of the house. Although hailed as a mark of shame, Rangel spoke after about how this punishment was not in line with his inadvertent actions, meant to harm no one. Blah, Blah, Blah…
Nancy looked as though she were having an non-medicated colonoscopy while she read the charges in a pinched fashion. She let Charlie the Swamp Monster frolic around the whole time she was supposed to be cleaning it up. Since Bill Clinton was impeached, the mechanisms of shame in congress are utterly useless.
