Liberals Dismiss Rangel Scandal
RUSH: Nancy Pelosi was asked (we got the audio coming up), "Charlie Rangel. I
mean, you understand here why people think Congress is so corrupt?" "Well,
yeah. But his corruption didn't jeopardize the country, so I don't see any
need to do anything about it." Rangel's corruption didn't jeopardize the
country. So there's no need to do anything. Do these people not get how
screwed they are going to be come November? Do they not get it? They don't
care. That's the answer.
RUSH: Yeah, there she is again. There's Pelosi. You know what? I'm going to
tell you what. Here's the way we have to start looking at Nancy Pelosi: Mullah
Nancy bin Pelosi. She's no different than these mullahs and these imams who
convince all these people to put bombs on their kids and send 'em out there to
blow up. That's exactly what she's doing to the Democrat Party. The only
thing she can't do is promise them 72 virgins or whatever it is. But that's
essence what she's doing here, and I have a great explanation as for why. Andy
McCarthy wrote an expansion on a theory of mine that I've been promulgating
here for many weeks. But first, Sunday morning, This Week, the fill-in host
Elizabeth Vargas talking to Nancy Pelosi. "You understand, I mean, with
Charlie Rangel. You promised the most ethical Congress in history, and -- and,
I mean, you gotta understand now why so many Americans think Congress is
corrupt. It just doesn't look good. This Rangel thing just doesn't pass the
smell test."
PELOSI: Look, I -- I served for seven years on the ethics committee. The last
thing I would have wanted would be for the speaker of the House to interfere in
a political way in what was going on there. That just should never happen.
Uh, but the fact is -- is that, uh, w-w-what Mr. Rangel has been admonished for
is not good. It was, uh, uh, a violation of the rule of the House. Uh, it was
not something that, uhhh, jeopardized our country in any way.
RUSH: Oh, no! Of course not. No, no, no. Folks, how could the fact that one
of the most powerful men in Congress is corrupt have any effect on America? I
mean, after all, all he does is write the tax law. He's chairman of the House
Ways and Means Committee. He doesn't have any effect on America. No way.
Don't even tell me he's in the same league as Tom DeLay, who they had to force
out of there. Here's Pelosi back from November 7th, 2006, election night.
PELOSI: To-day the American people voted to restore integrity and honesty in
Washington, DC. And the Democrats in-tend to lead the most honest, most open,
and most ethical Congress in history.
RUSH: Yeah. Yeah. Big dream there. Typical of everything the Democrats say:
It's a lie and is not true. Here's Paul Krugman from the New York Times. He
was on This Week as well during the roundtable, and Elizabeth Vargas says,
"Speaker Pelosi, Steny Hoyer were all calling for Tom DeLay to relinquish his
post when he was also admonished by the ethics committee."
KRUGMAN: It is worth pointing out that none of these things actually seemed to
affect national policy. Yeah, I'm unhappy with this. I wish Rangel would go
away. But it -- it really has no national significance.
RUSH: Oh, no national significance at all! Oh, he's only chairman of the
House Ways and Means Committee. He's cheating on his taxes. He's not
reporting income. He makes Tom DeLay look like a piker. "Oh, but we have to
keep him there. He's in so important a position, the Democrats so important to
America. I don't like this. No, no. I'm unhappy with it." Who cares whether
you're happy or not with it? Who are you? Paul Krugman? Who cares? Now we go
this morning on MSNBC, Joe Scarborough says to Senator Durbin, "You served with
Charlie. I served with Charlie. Are you disappointed?"
DURBIN: I want to tell you one thing about Charlie Rangel. When he joined the
Army after World War II as an African-American, he was put in a segregated
unit. He served in combat in Korea. This man has served his country. I am not
going to presume, uhhh, guilt when it comes to Charlie Rangel.
RUSH: Charlie Rangel is a veteran, so who cares if he's corrupt? What's that
got to do with the dog food? Democrats are just not going to eat the dog food
on this and send Charlie packing. He served in North Korea. Who cares? He's
corrupt. Don't forget (Lantos impression), Admiral Boorda committed
suiciiiiide for far less." Remember that? Tom Lantos. So the conversation
continued over ethics and Rangel this morning on MSNBC.
SCARBOROUGH: Have you ever forgotten to report $500,000 on a congressional --
BRZEZINSKI: Should we worry about that?
SCARBOROUGH: Have you ever done that? Have you ever forgotten --
SERWER: I think the answer is no.
SCARBOROUGH: He just said "no" with a smile on his face.
RUSH: Durbin would not say if he ever went on a trip and didn't know who paid
for it. Rangel took a bunch of trips, not just one. Ah, my staff did that, I
didn't know anything about it. He's also blamed his wife for this kind of
stuff.
FROM AMERICA WITH LOVE.

UN Passes Strong Resolution on Cambodia Human Rights Abuses

forces from Cambodia.
As of today,Cambodia is still occupied by the Vietnamese troops despite the
call from the US president to Vietnam to cease her occupation of Cambodia since

Cambodia needs Independence from Vietnam and the Vietnamese invaders.
Vietnam must cease her occupation of Cambodia at once.
