Rangel the Star Attraction at Obama Fundraiser

I guess raking in about half a billion dollars just isn't going to tide The Messiah over. He's so money-hungry he'll take cash raised by the very dubious Charles Rangel.

Embattled Rep. Charles Rangel, who has experienced friction with Barack Obama's campaign, is the featured attraction at a Harlem fund-raiser for the Democratic presidential nominee this month.

Rangel will hold the event for Obama at the Ricardo Steak House on Oct. 15, the same night Obama is slated to face off with John McCain in their final debate, at Hofstra University on Long Island.

The Rangel event is not being coordinated with the Obama campaign. But the invitation asks people not to give "corporate, credit-union or LLC checks."
