"Oh, Gee, Guess I'm Twice as Rich as I Thought I Was"

Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY, who amended his financial disclosure forms to show he has twice as much loot as he earlier said.

I'm not buying the "there's a good explanation" line. If there was, he would have offered it. Rangel has a pretty bad record over the last few years of skirting ethics rules and the law, including having four rent-controlled apartments when only a "primary residence" can be under rent control.

Good timing on his part to release this latest story at the same time that Ted Kennedy died, almost guaranteeing that the Rangel story will sink like a lead brink.
