Republicans gamely attempted to have Charlie "I Don't Pay No Damn Taxes" Rangel removed from his position as Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee yesterday. The process included a reading of the resolution as Charlie sat stone-faced listening to it.
In the end, six Republicans voted to leave Charlie in place. Who are these Republicans? Where are they from? Politico gives us the answer:
"Six Republicans sided with Rangel on Wednesday: Reps. Peter King of New York, Tim Murphy of Pennsylvania, Dana Rohrabacher of California, Walter Jones of North Carolina, Don Young of Alaska and Ron Paul of Texas."
Unbelievable. We're not talking about locking a man up, depriving him of liberty. We're talking about the administrative removal of the man charged with leading the committee that writes tax law, law that he himself felt did not apply to him. What more did they need to vote him out?

Charlie reminds me of the convict running for the "Warden's prisoner committee". His campaign slogan was "Yes I am corrupt, but at least I'm honest about it". Charlie in a nutshell.
