Charlie Rangel
1. A Democrat who represents New York's 15th district and is the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
2. An unethical hypocrite who demands everyone else pay through the nose in taxes, yet dodges them himself. Failed to report income from rental properties, lived in rent-subsidized apartments while claiming his Washington DC home as his primary residence for tax purposes, and gave 2.8 billion of our money to Diageo to make rum in the US Virgin Islands, among other things.

Person 1: Why do the Democrats stick up for Charlie Rangel?
Person 2: Because they are corrupt scumbags who protect their own. They're fine with politicians breaking the law, as long as they're fellow Democrats. But if they're Republicans, then it's unacceptable.
