King for a Day

Just call him Sir Chuckles.
You must be kidding, mon.

Embattled Harlem Congressman Charles Rangel can't fill out a tax form, but he's now a knight -- at least in Jamaica.

The Democratic Prince of Pork -- who owns valuable tracts of land, some of them off the books -- was inducted last week into the Order of Jamaica, the Caribbean commonwealth's highest distinction and the equivalent of knighthood.

Sir Charles won't be granted a magical shield that protects him from tax probes -- but he will get a gold medal stamped with the motto, "For a covenant of the people," adorned with the ackee fruit, a staple of the national cuisine.
In his honor they had Jerk Pork for dinner.
