"I'm Pretty Sure That He's Lying"

What would be my answer to the question, "So, what do you think about Charlie Rangel saying that he didn't know that he could have started a legal defense fund?"

Rangel is a combat vet, unlike a lot of chickenhawks roosting in congress, but the dude has pushed the bounds of credibility far past the breaking point.

There really is a lot to admire about this fellow. Which makes it even more gut-wrenching, no?

Rangel is a really likeable guy and worked hard for the people in his district, but he's a crook. Yeah, its gut-wrenching

Beach Bum makes a good point. You can throw John McShame in there as well. I actually see a correlation between high war stress and bad decision making....but is it enough to push to causality? Hmmmmm.....

It's entirely possible, CDM. But as Mr. Bush (and to a lesser extent, Mr. Clinton) has clearly shown to us, being a chicken hawk can also lead to bad decision making.
