...CHARLES RANGEL, Democratic Congressman from New York who is likely to be the next House Ways and Means Committee chairman, on his plan to redirect funds to his home state to account for the disproportionately high tax revenue collected there by the U.S. government...
...talk about the fact that Charlie Rangel, for example, has announced that he doesn't think a single one of the Bush tax cuts ought to be extended. The fact is, of course, it's going to take an affirmative act by Congress to extend those cuts. They're going to be sunsetted here.

He could mimic Bill Clinton, and both sides of an argument between outgoing House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Thomas, a California Republican, and the panel's ranking Democrat, Charles Rangel of Harlem (two very different and very vivid characters). Foley regaled us with hilarious stories, about such things as the bizarre celebrity world of Rep. Sonny Bono, since killed in a skiing accident. Picture Cher dropping by the home of her ex-husband with new love Greg Allman for some...
