Charlie Rangel is the luckiest politicians alive this week, and he should be sending Rod Blagojavich a huge thank you for Rod taking Charlie out of the spotlight as "Sleaziest & Stupidest & Most Arrogant Politician in the World (at least for the moment)." Charlie and Rod both displayed their idiotic paucity of tact by getting caught doing what politicians do every day - leveraging their positions and power for personal gain.
The difference thus far between these two dopes, is that Rod has spent his poltical career gleefully burning bridges, insulting friends and family, sporting one of the worst hairstyles in the 21st century. Charlie, while also not exactly one of the best coiffed politicos, has apparently not pissed off as many people as Rod. Charlie is also of course African American, which makes him less of a target in our hyper-sensitive politcally correct culture.
Finally, of course the national press is loathe to cover any story which could reflect badly on St. Barack, but the Blagojavich just couldn't be ignored. And because African Americans typically do not participate at the highest levels of Chicago graft, St. Barack gets a pass on this particular mess. So, both Rangel and BO will slide away from Rod and live to practice their trades another day.
