Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

Rangel said he meant “no offense” by “who the hell wants to live in Mississippi?” remark
Read this lame explanation:
Elbert Garcia, Rangel’s press secretary in New York, said Rangel had received calls Thursday about the Mississippi quote.
Garcia e-mailed The Associated Press a response from Rangel: “I certainly don’t mean to offend anyone. I just love New York so much that I can’t understand why everyone wouldn’t want to live here.”
YOU being their representative might be one reason. Just a hunch. This one might be another:
Welcome to just a small sampling of what the new Dem “leadership” will be bringing to the table. The fun is just beginning.

Surely you are not surprised, nor I hope disappointed. As for me, this is a yawner. My dearest hope is that we get more, much more if this over the next two years.
This is what happens when you give these people a “mandate.” If we are lucky they will play to their captive audience, and Democrats who are not morons, or cowards, or venal lying traitors (and there are lots who are not – I firmly believe that most Democrat voters are far, far better people than their elected representatives) will realize how their party has been subverted by coastal elitists who hold them in contempt.
Of course MS is a basket case – for one thing, it’s full of Southerners, who tend to be religious. We all know what the Democrat elite thinks of those sorts. Plus, Southerners are morons because they don’t live in NY or LA, and even when they vote Dem they really do respect the troops and love their country. That, of course, is anathema to the transnational progressives. And finally, far too many Southerners enlist in the service, and we all know how much the Dem leadership supports the stupid, atrocity committing troops.
So bring it on, Charlie, sez me. Tell us what you really think of those inbred snake handling retards living outside your golden city. If average middle class Americans do not get the creeps listening to condescending Europeans and murdering terrorists congratulating them for throwing George Bush into the tumbrel (and wait until those people find out Dubya is going to be Prez for two more years), maybe they’ll get the creeps listening to blabbermouths like Rangel and Kerry. Hell, two years of Pelosi yammering about “the childen” ought to do it all on its own.
It’s gonna be a loooooooooooooooooooooooong two years!
I live at the same residence as Congressman Charles Rangel here in the 15th District, Harlem, New York City. Rangel has no shortage of failures within his own district where Black male unemployment is 55+% and children suffer from the diseases of asthma at an epidemic rate and crisis level. These people and a lot more citizens now living in Rangel’s problem plagued district would love to live in Mississippi.
My family originates from Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. My mother, Cheryl Philips, lived at 418 Sears Ave. Waveland, MS until Katrina destroyed everything she owned leaving her nothing more than a concrete slab. She now has a FEMA trailer but her spirits are bright, she’s looking forward, and she LOVES living in Mississippi.
My mother can live here in the 15th District, New York City, right at the very same residence of Charles Rangel, here with me. She likes visiting however chooses to live in Mississippi, in a FEMA trailer, volunteering and helping to rebuild the community. That’s character Charles Rangel knows nothing of.
Note Charles Rangel had no problem with Mississippi when it came to accepting $27,000 in Mississippi Band Choctaw Indian Tribal Money, funneled to him courtesy of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff (this is well documented). Then with all the arrogance that can only come from Charles Rangel he refused to return one penny once the scandal broke.
This is but one example of the shame and embarrassment Charles Rangel is as a Congressman. Locally Rangel represents 35 years of unfulfilled promise and functions basically as a “political crime boss”. I’ve addressed a small example of Rangel’s failures at a website I created called “www.CharlesRangel.com” where I spare no punches.
If it counts for anything, Mississippians, please accept my apology for my repugnant Congressman. Do know the enlightened and educated of Harlem simply refer to Rangel as our village idiot as he’s so well demonstrated (once again). When you line your pockets with $27,000 of Mississippi Choctaw Indian Payments orchestrated by Jack Abramoff, refuse to return it, then insult anyone who wants to live in Mississippi….is that not an idiot in a nutshell?
