A democrat wouldn't have quit over this.
Hell, a democrat could get drunk and kill a girl and still not be out of the job. |

A Democrat would say that it's no worse that marijuana and booze.

It's just a shame to see a guy piss away his successful career in such a way over drugs & alcohol. He always acted as though he was above all that type of behavior. Who would have thought???

Coke-schmoke. Hell, that is a pittance compared to what most of the bozos in Congress gets away with daily/weekly/monthly, unchecked, not prosecuted for...indeed, held in high regard for.

Republican caught breaking the law/abusing power = assumes responsibility + resignation + hatred from conservatives for betraying the country + banishment from the conservative movement
Democrat caught breaking the law/abusing power = blames someone/anything else + career enhancer + accolades from socialists on the lawbreaker's intellectual prowess and service to the common man + enshrinement within liberal movement |

I was going to say "Rangel can blatantly cheat on his taxes and then has to resign over this?"
I hate being right ![]() |

As Republicans, we are held to a higher standard.
It's usually a good thing, but you've got to walk to walk.... |

I was very shocked this morning when watching CNN that they did not state he was a republican upon mentioning his possible resignation.

He used to get drunk in a bar not to many years before he died and pinned some waitress against a pool table and started humping on her. It's a wonder he never got arrested. |

I misread the title as Rangel and got a bit happy. We don't need anybody in government that thinks islands can tip over.
