There is a new phrase which describes this type of character in a politician. It's called: "The Audacity of Arrogance". Congressman Charles Rangel leases a Cadillac DeVille for $774 per month.... Rangel: “I could probably find something for … one of those red cars and then I think my constituents would say, ‘With all the money that he gets, this is the respect he shows us?’” Earlier, Rangel released a statement, further addressing the issue. “When I’m in New York, my car is my office. I use it to conduct Congressional business. It really pleases me that (my constituents) appreciate driving in a comfortable car, especially the senior citizens,” Rangel said. “The car isn’t just a vehicle for getting around; it’s an important part of doing my job and my constituents appreciate it.”
