"Oldaker lawyer Phu Hunyh is also the treasurer for a fundraising committee called the "Rangel Victory Fund." This is different from Rangel's principle campaign committee ("Rangel for Congress") and Rangel's PAC ("National Leadership PAC"). The treasurer of those two committees is Basil Paterson, father of New York Gov. David Paterson, a former union boss, and now a senior member of a law firm that also lobbies."

Charlie Rangel will get the best legal defense money can buy. Charlie needs all the help his corrupt little butt can get.

What about those who depended on Charlie's help in the past?

Our Congressman Loebsack got $5,000 from Charlie to insure Dave would "represent us." The Nutty Professor is in trouble this year. If not Charlie himself, will Charlie's friends still have enough cash left to help Dave?
