Answer: A Rick James Impersonation

Question: What Was Rangel Doing?

He allowed that his violations were “serious,” although not corrupt. “I have always tried to play by the rules,” he said — but also, “I have been losing a lot of sleep over these allegations.”

What does this mean?

It means that Rangel wants a deal. He’s extending an olive branch to the ethics committee. He’s probably been told that he needed to make some sort of statement to acknowledge the gravity of the situation, to not pretend that the committee would string him up over a simple paperwork error.

Via Bluegrass Pundit, an outtake:

He wasn’t keen on talking to cameras after the speech.
