Yellow Bellied Sapsucker of the Week

This lowdown person was nominated by my friend Lois at “Lowdown from Lois” .  She suggested that the defrocked Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, Charlie Rangel, Congressman from the Harlem for 40 years………

When Speaker Pelosi took the gavel she promised the “most ethical and honest Congress in history” and also promised to “drain the swamp” in Washington if Democrats where elected to the majority.

How’s that swampy-changy thing goin’ for ya?

What really ticked Lois off was when he played the poor war veteran card, Rangel said yesterday that “60 years ago I survived a Chinese attack in North Korea and as a result I haven’t had a bad day since. But today I have to reassess that statement.”
