Don't Quote Things You've Never Read

Despite his every effort to delay the process, the House Ethics sub-committee hearing the charges against Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) finally ruled today.

Rangel, who chose not to be present for the final sub-committee proceeding now claims that he was denied the right to counsel which he claims existed "ever since Magna Carta".

Video here. The money quote is around 3:25.

Bad news congressman: the right to retain counsel is not contained in Magna Carta. Do you have even the slightest idea what you are talking about or our you just trying to make yourself the object of pity? Is that the only defense you have for your egocentric sense of entitlement?

Never mind that you weren't denied the right. YOU CHOSE not to exercise that right, slimeball.
