WCBS in New York City reported this afternoon that Rep. Charlie Rangel has cut a deal to avoid going to trial on various charges of ethics violations. So did he? Charlie Rangel doesn’t know. “I don’t know. I’ll tell you one thing, until someone tells me that there is, there isn’t,” he said. Yes, that is one thing. The House ethics panel’s ranking minority member, Rep. Jo Bonner of Alabama, doesn’t know if Rangel cut a deal either. Did Charlie Rangel and the ethics panel get black-out drunk together?
Rangel may or may not have admitted that he has terrible ethics and does not want to be put on trial for it. But he and Bonner had the vodka pong table locked down the whole party, so how should they remember? People do craaaaaaaazy things when they are drunk. Like hook up with Charlie Rangel, probably.
Somewhere in the forests of D.C., legend has it, there is a beautiful, shimmering plea deal that Charlie Rangel signed. Sure, nobody is certain it exists. But if the children of the world believe it exists, it does, basically. [The Hill]

It all depends on what your definition of “isn’t” isn’t.
Mulligan.
You can tell just by looking at him that he has ethnics problems.
One of those no-neck monsters hit me with some ice cream. Their fat little heads sit on their fat little bodies without a bit of connection…
“I don’t know. I’ll tell you one thing, until someone tells me that there is, there isn’t,”
What Charlie is really saying here is to get the fuck off his lawn.
MJ had nothing on Charlie when it comes to slide steppin’.
I think that’s what Ben Bradlee called “plausible senility.”
Mmm…there’s always room for chocolate Jell-O Pudding Pops!
Zip-zop zobity bop!
It’s Schrödinger’s plea bargain.
[re=628318]freakishlystrong[/re]: He never said most of the things he said, and if you ask him anything he doesn’t know, he’s not going to answer.
[re=628328]JMP[/re]: Are the jurors in the box alive, or dead? One never knows!
Don’t be mean to my Congressman, we love him here in Harlem, I believe there is a waffle named for him at the exceedingly tasty Amy-Ruth’s restaurant.
“until someone tells me that there is, there isn’t,”
In what respect Charlie?
Jesus on a postage stamp. It makes me crouch in a dark corner, naked, .. cold … and alone to say this;
Release the Hannity!
Drink responsibly and only buy genuine Don King-brand eyebrows!
[re=628334]Limeylizzie[/re]: Wafflecrats, indeed!
Oh, remember when the GOP accused Kerry and the dems of “waffling”? Haha, those were the days, waffling! Now the dems are like a pancake, bland and easily flattened by the opposition in spite of their control over most of the plate.
[re=628349]Mad Brahms[/re]: From what I recall, it was Clinton they accused of waffling; Kerry on the other hand was a flip-flopper. Totally different.
O’Reilly keeps expecting someone to yell “Bring me another mf-ing ethics plea deal!”
Rangle makes my pants feel funny. I think that this is why nobody knows if a deal has been reached.
[re=628349]Mad Brahms[/re]: With lots of Aunt Jemima® syrup.
He’s clearly ready to appear on “Deal or No Deal,” since he’s got both.
Did Rangel and the Ethics Committee get black-out drunk together?
No, their lawyers/staff did. Now it’s up to the various parties to find out what their paid/appointed representatives of the representatives have agreed to, and deny it.
If they lock him up with Bachmann and force him to listen to her non-stop until he spills the beans, this will be over by dinner time.
Occupies four rent-controlled apartments in Harlem. What a pig!
[re=628328]JMP[/re]: Did you have to let the cat out of the bag?
One of the most beautifully philosophical posts ever at my dear Wonkette.
See, Ken, what a good morning’s sleep gets you?
Charlie can hire a thousand hookers dressed like Lady Gaga and fly them to the Dominican Republic on Air Force One for all I care. He’s still more ethical than any Republican House member. Remember when we couldn’t do investigations because we were at war? Those were good times. Bush hired a bunch of wingnut cronies to staff the justice department and they in turn made wingnuttery the driver for any and all criminal probes. We couldn’t really do much about that back then because, you know, there was a war on. Now, we’re still at war but we’ll spend the next month examining whether Charlie Rangel disclosed how much he spent on sun screen as if it’s the most important thing on the planet. Fuck off America. You deserve to be governed by idiots because we’re a nation of retards.
“I don’t know. I’ll tell you one thing, until someone tells me that there is, there isn’t,”
Who’s this fucker think he is? Alvin Greene?
[re=628385]pdiddycornchips[/re]: Huzzah!
I’m a constituent and I don’t care if Charlie is a crook. He’s my crook. He’s been on the right side of every issue ever. It’s like if your grandma got arrested shoplifting. Maybe she has a little problem, but she’s still your grandma. You’re not gonna throw her out of the house.
I like the way Rangel’s going Buddhist on this issue; next State of the Union address, we’ll probably see him clapping with one hand.
Charlie, please, just go away…
[re=628491]marioninnyc[/re]: I’m with you on this, I am in his constituency as well and would be heartsick if he goes.
[re=628367]ella[/re]: That’s how Jesse Jackson used to rescue American hostages. He’d go to Iraq or Serbia or wherever and meet with leaders. At some point, he’d announce: Let us pray. After about 10 minutes of Jackson’s patented preaching style, the foreign leaders would realize that nothing was worth this much suffering. The hostages would be waiting in the back of an idling limo before Jackson could say Amen.
