Rangel's dazed and on the ropes. Will something sensible happen? Cause you know what, Charlie gotta go.

WINNERS

Whoopie, Sherri and The View (WSTV) 2.13 +1.88 +88.26%

Ignore what you're hearing about Obama's appearing on the morning talks show being "un-presidential", that's just sexism. We give it up to The View for asking in the kind of questions we'd expect from the news media -- well, most of the questions at least (Snookie?... c'mon).

LOSERS

Black Media (AAM) 22.69 -5.1 -18.35%

If you need any more indication that the political right is willing to stoop to about anything to make Shirley Sherrod seem like a liar, we point you to an article that wrongly makes the argument that the former USDA official misrepresented her father's murder when she called it a "lynching".

At some point you have to stop asking why blacks don't vote for you.
