Kenneth, George Bush was right about Rangel. New York Observer: It’s three weeks until Election Day and Charlie Rangel is already acting like he’s in charge. With the Democrats poised to take over the House in November—putting the 76-year-old dean of the New York Congressional delegation on the verge of landing the most potent and coveted job of his career—Mr. Rangel’s recent public appearances have taken on the look and feel of a victory tour. “When I become chairman of the Ways and Means Committee,” he said Thursday night in front of the Hudson River School paintings at the New-York Historical Society, “we will have power over the entire tax system, Social Security system, pension system, Medicare and all international trade.” Of course, we can all understand why Pelosi stands by his side...how would HE know about taxes? Representative Charles B. Rangel has earned more than $75,000 in rental income from a villa he has owned in the Dominican Republic since 1988, but never reported it on his federal or state tax returns, according to a lawyer for the congressman and documents from the resort.

True, Reagan was once there. Lots of people were once there. Times change in 30 years. Maybe you haven't noticed Kenneth.
