Ted Rall for November 23, 2006

Transcript:

Congressman Charles Rangel, incoming chairman of the powerful ways and means comittee wants to bring back the draft. But not really. (Man 1: It's about making a point.

(Man 4: Me too.) (Man 5: Business luvs it.) Resulting naturally, in more of the same-but worse. (Man 6: $#@! democrats!)
