Charlie Rangel Censured 333-79 – Rangel gives snotty speech, Democrats give him standing ovation

So what else did you expect from this irrelevant, blood sucking congress. They also voted to raise taxes and pass Michelle Obama's expensive school lunch program. School lunches already existed, but lacked the expense of Michelle Antoinette's "Whole Foods" panache.

Charlie Rangel Censured 333-79 – Rangel gives snotty speech, Democrats give him standing ovation : Fire Andrea Mitchell!

Charlie Rangel gets his public slap on the wrist and was censured by a vote of 333-79.Aka a public slap on the wrist. Before the censure vote, there was a vote on a Butterfield amendment reprimand Rangel instead of censure. This is basically a smaller slap on the wrist than censure. This vote got 146 votes for, and 267 and failed. Three Republicans voted for the reprimand, two voted against censure. Look at how sad Botox Pelosi is reading the censure to Rangel:
You thought that was it? Nope. Rangel followed the censure up with a snotty, arrogant speech, then got a standing ovation from Democrats. Absolutely pathetic!

Those who voted no on Rangel Censure include Alan Grayson, Anthony Weiner, and muslim Keith Ellison

The list also includes Barney Frank, Jesse Jackson Jr, Maxine Waters, and Sheila Jackson-Lee. Those were the usual suspects. Sadly, there were also two Republicans. One of which I really respected a lot too, Peter King of New York. The other Republican was Donald Young of Alaska. He must have had a Murkowski moment or something.
