The NY Politicians came out to support fighting Charlie Rangel, target of the unconstitutional Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) witchhunt. Governor David Paterson (himself politically deep-sixed by President Obama), emceed the Rangel gala last night, and commented on the John Gambling Show on New York local radio today, that people should take note of who did NOT show up for the event. "I wouldn't write the names of the people who came to an event down. I would write the names of the people who didn't come, because you wouldn't want them around you in a difficult situation." Paterson otherwise called the House Ethics Committee's actions "political." "This is not a court," Paterson said. "This is a legislative body. It is very political, based on the fact that it's an election year. So, in other words, the same kind of ethics charge that would mean something in the odd- numbered year means something different in the even-numbered year, and that in and of itself is unethical."
Even the NYC, and NY State Democratic establishment has enough brains to know that Obama and Pelosi, using the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) are trying to frame up Cong. Charles Rangel. Prominent New York Democrats attended a combination fundraiser/80th birthday gala for the embattled Harlem Congressman last night. Many of them made public statements in support of Rangel, making the point that he is one politician who has never forgotten America's "forgotten man."
Not only Harlem, NY, but Bronx and beyond love Charlie Rangel.
