Charlie Rangel will face a 2010 primary challenge from Vince Morgan a former campaign director

Embattled Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) will face a 2010 primary challenge from one of his own former campaign directors.

Vince Morgan, a New York community banker who at one time worked for crook Charlie Rangel as a special assistant and campaign director, announced Monday that he would challenge Rangel for reelection. According to The Hill, Morgan’s announcement follows months of ethical scrutiny surrounding Rangel’s alleged failure to pay taxes on income from a villa he rents, in addition to several other accusations of financial impropriety against the congressman.

“It’s time for change,” Morgan said Monday in a press release. “Our district needs new leadership that is in touch with the community and the issues that confront us today.”

House Committee To Expand Rangel Investigation

WCBS in New York has posted that a House committee voted unanimously today to expand its investigation into New York’s slimy, corrupt Democratic Rep. You may remember during the summer Rangel’s sudden recollection of at least $500,000 in cash assets and tens of thousands of dollars of investment income that were never decleared. The House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct issued a statement on Thursday that is now going to investigate his apparent lapses in memory as part of a probe that has already lasted 16 months.

Hey Perez Hilton! Quit being a dumb bi*ch with your fake copyright thugerry!

Recently, the National Organization for Marriage, a group that opposes gay marriage. put out a Youtube video with Miss California Carrie Prejean, then the now infamous flaming Perez Hilton’s (whose real name is Mario Lavandeira) dumb bitch comment. It seems ole Perez wanted to hide it in shame, and got it removed from youtube due to copyright infringements. Well too bad “Perez”. Patterico just uploaded another copy of the video ad.

Personally, I never really used to care one way or another if gays got married. However, after seeing the utter BS same sex marriage loony toons have pulled, ever since it was voted down in California (of all places), and then this Perez Hilton flaming slander, I have officially jumped on the anti-gay marriage bandwagon!

What the liberal biased media wouldn’t tell you about the Bernie Madoff scandal

Remember the way the media and the left was salivating over the Abramoff scandal? There has been a deafening silence about all of the dem politicians that have benefited from Madoff. First lets look at this from Liberty’s Apothecary

Winners in the Madoff/Ponzi sweepstakes included Hillary Rodham (”It’s-Been-an-Interesting-Marriage”) Clinton, now Obama’s Secretary of State; Senator Charles (”The-People-Just-Don’t-Care-About-Earmarks”) Schumer (D.N.Y); Congressman Charles (”Whattaya-Mean-I-Gotta-Pay-My-Fair-Share-of-Taxes?”) Rangel (D.N.Y.); and Congressman David (”Don’t-Ask-Me-About-Earmarks”) Obey (D.WI.), Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee and co-author of the original, cosmetically-enhanced porker ultimately enacted as the “stimulus bill.” These Democrats received, at one time or another, thousands of dollars from Madoff.

Moreover, Democrat senatorial candidates in general – including one particular then-serving junior senator from Illinois - received indirect benefits from the over $100,000.00 in political contributions Madoff or his controlled entities made between 1998 and 2008 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

And this from Opensecret’s.org:

In total, he and his wife, Ruth, have given $238,200 to federal candidates, parties and committees since 1991, with Democrats getting 88 percent of that. Overall, Madoff and other individuals at his company, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, gave $372,100 in campaign contributions since 1991, with 89 percent to Democrats. The firm spent $590,000 on lobbying in the last 11 years, all but $10,000 of it with the lobbying firm of Lent, Scrivner & Roth. A search for funds with “Madoff” in their title in lawmakers’ personal investments did not find any members of Congress with their own funds invested with him.
