With some Democratic friends, who need Republicans
On Thursday, Dec. 2, 2010, Congressman Charlie Rangel got a good feeling how his pre-successor, Adam Clayton Powell must have felt some forty odd years ago when he was expelled from Congress.
Unlike Mr. Rangel, however, Mr. Powell was a Senator and he was expelled, but as the saying goes, “A rose by any other name…”.
Somewhere along the way or at the time of censuring, a realization had to surface in the conscious of Mr. Rangel as to why the President feels he has a better chance of getting bills passed by dealing with Republicans, regardless the scorn from his own base.
And along those lines, it should have come as no surprise to Mr. Rangel the President does not want to waste precious time fooling with fickle, selfish and egotistical Democrats the likes of a Blanche Lincoln, Max Baucus and/or a Mary Landreau regarding passage of the Bush Tax Cuts bill. The bill is to come up for some kind of a vote today. The President feels it has already been delayed too long against his wishes, thanks in part to Rush Feingold and Nancy Tee-hee.
Finally, Mr. Rangel has to confront his realities that out of 255 Democratic votes, 170 of his colleagues voted for his censure. He has to know his leader, Nancy (Tee-hee) Pelosi, did not respect him enough to vote at all. She considered him a nobody, a worthless piece of trash not deserving of her time. This he has to know. This is his new reality. Forty years down the drain. (Ouch!)

House censures a defiant Charles Rangel by overwhelming vote
by JOHN BRESNAHAN & JONATHAN ALLEN
Excerpt:
Rangel’s allies had earlier attempted to downgrade the punishment to a reprimand, meaning a resolution condemning him would be read into the Congressional Record, but that motion – offered by Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.) – was defeated by a 267-146 margin.
And
Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) voted for Butterfield motion, but Pelosi didn’t vote and most of her Democratic allies rejected it. In the end, more than 105 Democrats voted against the Butterfield motion.
