Washington.– Embattled Rep. Charles Rangel yesterday announced he had made good on a promise to hire experts to comb through two decades of tax returns to see how much he failed to pay Uncle Sam.

The powerful Harlem Democrat said he had hired the accounting firm of Watkins, Meegan, Drury and Co. to investigate his financial records and report its findings to the House ethics panel probing him.

Rangel "is providing all information needed by the committee to reach its conclusions, and looks forward to a rapid resolution of this matter," he said in a press release.

The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, which crafts tax laws, Rangel is being probed for failing to pay taxes and disclose income for a vacation home in the Dominican Republic.

The question I have is why are we worried about a washed up politician from the US on a website called Dominican today?

And this affects us in Santo Domingo how? You guy's have the typical problem of all third world countries. Worry first about your country's politicians...then maybe you will have time to worry about the others

Personally I find Rangel in the past to have been an effective and likable democrat...and a democrat will replace him...... probably one who is even more sympathetic to Dominican causes if he knows whats good for him....I am a republican...... Sorry Charley time for a change as Mark Levin " The Great One "says

GC, you mean you no longer find him effective? what actions of his point to his declining effectiveness? and, what makes him less likeable? heck, as much as he is a cretin, i really like George Bush as a person. can you imagine the hoot it would be having a few beers with that guy?

I personally like him after observing him and listening to him speak for many years...... I would allow them to rip out one of my fingernails as the price to pass an evening with him telling stories about his life over some libations and I am talking either Rangel or Bush....Bush does not drink anymore

Now you Republicans are against Charlie for being pro-business like Dick Cheney who will not release the notes of his secret meetings with big oil. How hypocritical!

Besides who can be believe in the New York "Slime" like your God Mark Levin calls the Old Gray Lady Chauncey!
