I can't believe how many of you are excusing this abuse of power. Can you imagine it we suddenly found out that KARL ROVE had 4 rent stabilized apartments in NYC!? We'd go mad! But if it's Charlie Rangel - it's all good.

Um, one, you are twisting the point into what you want to argue about.

Karl Rove is not here, and I really do not see people here accepting his use of the apartments as such. I have only seen one qualification where they said that it is, literally, only 2 places he has.

When are you going to apply the same standards to everybody. A corrupt politician is a corrupt politician and it should be admitted and condemned - no matter what party they're from. Again, you are trying to poru gasoline on something that has little to do with the original pile of crap.

It's unbelievable to me that Bloomberg said "let Rangel investigate himself"! He must be a bit corrupt too with that attitude. I will have to look at the context he said that in. I do not like the fact he has this and I hate it when people of priveledge abuse the situation, but I also have a feeling that although the rent may be stabalized, the landlord may be getting payment in other ways.

What else woudl keep him quiet for so long?
