ON THE TEEVEE…. We talked on Friday about a curious set of circumstances: Rep. Charlie Rangel’s (D-N.Y.) ethics controversy is generating considerable attention, while Sen.

I had a chance to chat with Chris Hayes about this on “The Rachel Maddow Show” on Friday night. Here’s the segment:

A few things to note. First, none of you will be able to make fun of the fake-book backdrop this time. So there.

And fourth, I mistakenly referred to Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) “recently” having been caught with prostitutes. That’s incorrect — what I meant to say was in “recent years,” but I misspoke.
