Biggest Hypocrite of the Week: Rep. Charles Rangel

The US Report awards the 2nd 'Biggest US Hypocrite of the Week' award to Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) Like several high profile Obama appointees including the Secretary of the Treasury, Rangel has tax problems. Remember when Rep. Nancy Pelosi promised us a more honorable Congress after Democrats regained control almost 3 years ago? She was our inaugural hypocrite of the week.

Sometimes it takes a comic to put things in perspective. Jay Leno hits the nail on the head for BHW #2 Rangel.

The Wall Street Journal analyzes Rangel's tax problems. Among them: the chair of the Ways and Means Committee apparently overlooked half his net worth. And yep, that's the committee responsible for writing tax regulations.

The US Report debuts ‘Biggest hypocrite in the US’—Pelosi takes first

Welcome to our new feature. We will now periodically, with a hat tip to impassioned statist Keith Olbermann, run a weekly ‘Biggest hypocrite in the US’ feature.

No one is more deserving of that title than the speaker of the Democrat-controlled US House of Representatives. WARNING: Watching this video may induce nausea in the viewer.

Thus, our first ‘Biggest hypocrite in the US’ award goes to California statist Nancy Pelosi.
