Rangel reminds us that he was a soldier while he acts unsoldierly

While Charles Rangel negotiates with the House Ethics Committee, he reminds us that once he was a soldier. (Associated Press link);

“Sixty years ago I survived a Chinese attack in North Korea and as a result I haven’t had a bad day since,” Rangel told reporters. “But today I have to reassess that statement.”

First of all, how many soldiers get to negotiate with an ethics committee when they are being investigated for ethics violations? I’m guessing NONE. Secondly, whatever Charles Rangel was 60 years ago, that is not what he is today. he may have been a studly non-commissioned officer, but that NCO would not have avoided his obligations the way this Charles Rangel has done.

To remind us of THAT Charles Rangel today is to bring dishonor upon whatever service THAT Charles Rangel might have rendered this nation. What have you done for us lately? You can’t hide behind THAT Charles Rangel to atone for the sins of the Charles Rangel that stands before us today. Take your medicine like THAT Charles Rangel would have done.
