Hot Air TV: Rangel vs. Mattera posted at 6:01 am on March 9, 2009 by Michelle Send to a Friend \| Share on Facebook \| printer-friendly Our intrepid Hot Air TV special correspondent Jason Mattera is back on Capitol Hill! You’ve watched him corner smear merchants Jack Murtha and John Kerry, ask William “Cold Cash” Jefferson for bribe-freezing tips, and roam the Democrat National Convention in an orange Gitmo suit exposing far Left insanity. This time he catches tax cheat Charlie Rangel and confronts him about his mounting ethical and financial scandals. Charlie Rangel’s message for Jason - and for all you bothersome taxpayers wondering about his shady rental property deals, publicly-subsidized Cadillac, and unpaid taxes: “Why don’t you mind your goddamned business?” Because, you damned corruptocrat, you are a servant of the public — not the other way around. Paging Nancy “most ethical Congress ever” Pelosi. Paging Nancy Pelosi… (Special thanks to camerawoman Alyssa Cordova) hotair.com

Apparently, in the entertainment and sports worlds, players and entertainers were able to get banks to loan them money in advance of their future earnings. With the economic crisis, that's all changed, and suddenly, we are hearing about entertainers and players one after the other filing BK. Sports could be in trouble. Any sport that relies on sponsors, especially golf (with lots of financial sponsors). How's this for the ultimate Republican idea. I often thought it would be an interesting market to invest in genius kids. Or sports phenoms. Buy a share and get 1% of future earnings. In the meantime he/she gets the best of every educational possibility. Of course I would end up investing in somebody that ended up wanting to be a guru in India or something. And probably feel good about it.
