There are simply no words for this level of stupidity.
Harlem Rep. Charles Rangel meant no disrespect when he previously called Tea Party members “white crackers” — he says it was actually a compliment.
The longtime Capitol Hill Democrat said Monday that he thought cracker “was a term of endearment” and was puzzled by the firestorm that his use of the term in a 2013 interview set off.
In a chat with the Huffington Post on Monday, Rangel offered a half-hearted apology for using the word when comparing the Tea Party to Jim Crow segregationists.

Awesome. Stupid and a crook. What a combination! And he won re-election by a landslide.
Oh... Rangle, former head of Ways & Means also believed the tax code didn't apply to him. But they let him skate on by. Just more skating...
