What's up with this?<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8248236/" target="top">Rangel: Investigate whether Bush intentionally misled U.S. for war</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>This is the third story I've read today regarding Conyers' DSM hearing that headlines Rep. Rangel as the force behind it. <br><br>Any guesses why the popular media is addressing it this way?<br><br>I've considered that, possibly, Rangel is slightly more noteworthy to Americans than Conyers, and perhaps the press is trying lamely to give this thing wheels.<br><br>I've thought more likely, because Rangel is one of those Democrats that isn't antiwar, that he'd be regarded as less serious about this matter than Conyers. Even in the hearing today Rangel said something to the effect that he'd <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>always</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> go to war for America. I can't remember the exact quote, but it sounded out of place.<br><br>Any guesses? <p></p><i></i>

He is senior democrat on the House Ways and Means committee, so maybe this is why, perhaps he just has pull with the press...... <p></p><i></i>

Thank you for that info Jeff. You are something else.<br><br>I don't trust Rangel either. He speaks very well, but out of both sides of his mouth. <p></p><i></i>

Rangel = much easier to discredit than conyers, so if it's framed as coming from him so much the better for you-know-who. <p></p><i></i>
