As guests made their way into Charlie Rangel’s 80th-birthday dinner at the Plaza Hotel Wednesday night, a heckler shouted at former mayor David Dinkins that he was “attending a party for a crook.” Dinkins — whom the Times describes as "a paragon of statesmanship and dignity" — responded by turning to the man and flipping the bird.
After much hemming and WHORING from invited guests beforehand, most of the big names — including Michael Bloomberg, Andrew Cuomo, and Chuck Schumer — showed up, and were treated to a meal of roast beef, gon hat cheese, and onion rings. A spokesman for Rangel said that he sold 800 tickets for the event — which doubled as a fund-raiser, with tickets starting at $200 which I'm sure was really donations to his Defense fund.
And all those slimy Democrats who went to Rangel's party showed America who the Democrat Party really is. It's a filthy disgusting party that celebrates and donates to a Political CHEATING, CROOKED piece of crap who is about thrown out on his ass because of all the cheating he has been getting away with for 40 years.When you hold a party and Al Sharpton is one of the Top Guests, you know what other scum is going to attend.They called this a "Birthday Party." But a quick check on Wikipedia will confirm that Rangel's birthday is June 11th. When's the last time anyone you know had a "Birthday Party" 2 months after their birthday. Because this wasn’t a Birthday Party, it was a public show of “support” by people who are in his debt or were too afraid not to attend.
Rangel is a prolific fundraiser whose power has come from a combination of contributions (through his PAC) to other powerful Dems and playing on people’s fear of being called racists if they say anything bad about the “senior member of the Congressional Black Caucus. So you can call this Pay-ola.
It is no surprise that David Dinkins gave someone the "middle finger". After all, isn't it the gesture that he gave NY City when he ruled as the city's mayor?
This only goes to show you that a little wealth and a little fame doesn't change a scummy piece of shit, one term ex-Mayor or not!
And Michael Bloomberg thought this was all a big joke! I guess he represents New York to the Birthday Boy!
