Rangel alright with TMZ confrontation

Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) may be one of the few members of Congress taking it easy on TMZ, the Hollywood gossip website which has expanded operations in Washington.

Rangel tweeted Monday:

Did you catch me on TMZ? All in good fun.

TMZ confronted Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) and Rangel to ask about National Economic Council Chairman Lawrence Summer’s brief nap last week during a meeting at the White House with leaders of credit card companies.
