Let's help him fulfill his pledge:
Democrats consider the 2006 elections their best chance in a decade to recapture the House, with widespread unease over Iraq and with Republicans lagging in polls. Rep. Charles B. Rangel (N.Y.), who would become chairman of the Ways and Means Committee if Democrats picked up the 15 seats needed to regain the majority, said in an interview yesterday that he will quit Congress if the party does not capitalize on an unparalleled opportunity.
Go to Rightroots and donate now. What a great two-fer. You can help Republicans maintain control of Congress and make it Rangel-free at the same time.

Let's hope he sticks to his... (Below threshold)1. Posted by Aaron B. Hockley | August 2, 2006 12:08 PM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
Let's hope he sticks to his word better than Alec Baldwin. I'm still waiting for him to move to France like he promised.

Yeah, suuuuuuure he'll leave. Just like Alec Baldwin was going to leave the USA if Chimpy was reelected. Come on, Kim, you think that weasel would actually keep a promise? If the GOP holds Congress, this little statement of his will vanish down the memory hole.
Of course, maybe I'm just cynical, and ol' Chuckles is telling the truth. You know, as Lionel Hutz says, there's "the truth" (smiley face) and then there's the truth (frown). Perhaps it all turns on what the meaning of "quit Congress" is.

I have called the Waaaaaaaaaahbulance for Chuckie. He has a case of TTTFYOB* syndrome before he gets too blue in the face.

I dunno, I think the only way Rangel will leave Congress is feet-first.

Rangel has left enough room in his statement that even if the Dems picked up one seat, he could say the Dems were successful.

It would be nice if this were true. However, I'm convinced that in November when Republicans retain control, Charlie will say something along the lines of "the situation has changed since I said that." Rangel is one of the leading causes for the poisonous atmosphere in DC and it would be good for both parties if he were to go away. He is too enamored of the perks to give them up voluntarily.

However, the stench of cheap pomade and from-unda cheese will persist for years...

LargeBill,
Actually, I think he'll say (to Congress) "I wish I knew how to quit you."

Just one of many lies told by Rangel on a daily basis for years.

Why does Rangels head always look like its dripping with deep fryer grease??
He must eat out at KFC an awful lot.

Anyone who believes Rangel should contact me immediately. My late uncle, the former Potentate of Sierra Leone, died intestate in a plane crash four years ago, and I need help getting his millions into this country. For your kind assistance, you will be entitled to 30% of all funds transferred.
I also have the title to a bridge in Brooklyn I just know you will be interested in. You could set up a toll booth and make a fortune.
Waiting to hear from you,
Your humble & obedient & etc.
