Some news outlets are reporting that the ever corrupt Charlie Rangel (D-NY) will be stepping down as chairman of the Ways and Means committee.
Earlier today on NRO’s Corner, Daniel Foster quoted a senior Democratic aide who said, “The dam broke today,” increasing the bipartisan pressure for Rangel to step down.
Bipartisan pressure means that the Democrats are growing increasingly nervous about their collective (ironic) chances in November.
The Hill, however, is reporting that Rangel is refusing to step down, which does seem more in line with his delusional character.
When asked whether he is still chairman, Rangel said: “you bet your life!”
He then said Pelosi told him not to say “a damn thing” about the meeting.
We’ll see how this plays out. I’m not placing any bets — while the Democrats are eager to save themselves, it is awfully rare for a Democrat to actually admit wrong-doing and to pay any price for it.
