Whereas the citizens of the world were relatively well-behaved the previous week, this past week produced a dearth of dicks so deep that it became a truly arduous task to select just one to profile. Fortunately, there is one man who proved that he stands head and shoulders above the rest, a man in whom the public has placed its trust (and votes), and who has repaid that trust with corruption and incompetence. I am talking, of course, about your Dick of the Week for the week of November 14th – 20th, Congressman Charlie Rangel.
Now, let’s be clear. We’re not saying Charlie Rangel is terrible person. He seems like a pretty funny guy, honestly. And pretty endearing. Like Bob, who owns the little family grocer down the street, who doesn’t really have a head for business but he always has the freshest apples and likes to talk about the Knicks. If you’re having a barbecue, course you invite Bob. But if you’re electing the town selectmen, you probably don’t give Bob much thought.
Charlie Rangel is Bob the Grocer. And the residents of New York’s 15th Congressional District didn’t just vote to make old Charlie a town selectman; the sent his crazy ass to Washington to represent them in Congress. Now, far be it from me to criticize their decision regarding who should represent them. For much of my early life, my Congressman’s name was Dick Swett.
DEEP in Congress.
