Quote:Tearful Charlie Rangel faces censure

By JOHN BRESNAHAN & MARTIN KADY II | 11/18/10 10:32 AM EST Updated: 11/18/10 4:09 PM EST

As Rep. Charles Rangel pleaded for “fairness and mercy,” the ethics committee’s top lawyer has recommended a censure of the New York lawmaker, one of the harshest punishments that the House can deliver short of expulsion from Congress.

The full ethics committee will go into a closed session Thursday afternoon to consider the punishment, just two days after a special ethics subcommittee found Rangel guilty on 11 counts of violating House rules. Rangel – who walked out of his ethics trial on Monday — brought some fresh drama to the hearing room once again Thursday, having civil rights legend Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) sit by his side as a supporting witness.

Before the punishment phase in the Rangel ethics trial began on Thursday, Rangel issued a long, emotional statement imploring his colleagues not to be too harsh. As the ethics committee hearing ended Thursday, Rangel gave another tearful plea.

"Let me apologize to the committee for putting you in this awful position," Rangel told his 10 colleagues.

He repeatedly emphasized that whatever wrongdoing he had committed was not motivated by personal corruption.

"I don't know how much longer I have to live," Rangel said."I just want you when you decide on the sanctions that you put in that report that Charles Rangel never sought any personal gain."

Rangel added: "There is no excuse for my behavior, but there was no attempt to go beyond what was given to me as my salary. There was no attempted to enrich myself."...

"no personal gains or benefit?"

And I would throw in his face that if I did it, a lily white guy, I'd be in jail and there would be no political donors setting up a defense fund.
