"Why don't you mind your &^%$#% business"

That's Rep. Charlie Rangel's thoughtful, reasoned response to a constituent named Jason Mattera who had the gall to go to Capitol Hill to question His Lordship about his use of a taxpayer-supplied Cadillac during this supposed budget crisis, his illegal use of four rent-controlled apartments as district offices and, most disgustingly, his lack of paying taxes on his Caribbean rental properties, seeing as how he's the chairman of the committee that writes tax law:



It is Mattera's business, Mr. Rangel. You work for and are accountable to him and millions of other peasants just like him, in case you've forgotten that fact after decades in Congress.

You mind your business, sir, since you're doing such a poor job of it, and while you're at it, mind your %$^#& manners as well.
