COMMENTS: The Tax Man Leaveth
NBC's Kelly O'Donnell quoted Charles Rangel's explanation for leaving his chair overseeing the House Ways & Means Committee: "In order to avoid my colleagues having to defend me during their elections." The Democrat from Harlem NY has already been admonished for taking corporate-financed trips to the Caribbean. "More serious questions are still under investigation," O'Donnell warned, including unpaid taxes and low-rent deals on Manhattan apartments. "His colleagues were abandoning him," noted ABC's George Stephanopoulos…"Freshmen Democrats in particular, were worried that all these ethics problems were going to reflect poorly on the Party come November," was how Nancy Cordes put it on CBS.
