RANGEL & VEEP IN ALL-OUT WAR
REP. RIPS 'S.O.B.' AFTER TAX ASSAULT
By GEOFF EARLE
...

October 31, 2006 -- WASHINGTON - Rep. Charles Rangel yesterday blasted Dick Cheney as a "son of a bitch" after the vice president said the Harlem lawmaker would raise taxes and destroy the economy if Democrats take control of the House.

The bitter war of words escalated to the point where the bombastic Rangel even questioned whether the tightly wound Cheney needed professional treatment - and mocked him for accidentally shooting his hunting buddy ealier this year.

1. For that response Senator Rangel,

You get a circle and 2 snaps...Preach it, brother, preach it!! Cheney ain't wrapped too tight, we all know it and it's about time someone says so openly..:applause:

[hopein08]

24. Representative Rangel...not Senator n/t

[blogslut]

2. Go Charlie!

from the story:

"Contacted by The Post for a response, Rangel unloaded.

"He's such a real son of a bitch, he just enjoys a confrontation," Rangel fumed, describing himself as "warm and personable." Rangel said Cheney may need to go to "rehab" for "whatever personality deficit he may have suffered."

"When you have those sorts of problems, you're supposed to seek help," Rangel advised. "He ac- knowledged that he has problems with communication..."

4. I wish he would have said what he really thought!

Instead of being nice about it! SOB is kind of mild for the Dick...

edit: Anyone from Harlem knows some better words than that!

5. Go Charlie

Son of abitch is a euphemism for this evil fugg.

6. Good for Charlie! Maybe Dirty Dick will get pissed and fry his pacemaker

and do us all a favor.

7. Bill Clinton raised taxes in 1993 and the economy BOOMED

Dick Cheney is full of shit. Good for Rangel for taking him to the woodshed over these ridiculous charges.

8. Charlie is a great American !

I'm glad he's on our team !

Here's to you Sergeant Rangel!

:patriot:

[wicket]

9. OMG, I love this part:

Asked whether he was resurrecting over-the-top charges he made last year that he believes Cheney is mentally ill, Rangel cracked, "I don't think he's shot anyone in the face lately, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt."

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

11. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time

Tears are streaming from eyes and my side hurts. That is the funniest goddamn thing I've seen from Congressman maybe ever.

I hope Stewart has this on his show tonight. Stephanie Miller will probably have on her show this morning.

Barbara Jordan and Charlie Rangle. I wish we still had Professor Jordan. She could tell these repigs a thing or two.

[quiet.american]

12. Finally -- that's the Charlie Rangel I used to love. Excellent.

Finally giving Cheney some of his own back.

[raccoon]

14. Way to go, Charlie! This is what those bullying bastards need,

for somebody to stand up to them and give their shit RIGHT BACK TO THEM.

19. I think that anecdote in the preface of Bonfire of the Vanities by

Tom Wolf about the African-American politician who finessed the paparazzi so hilariously was Charlie Rangle, wasn't it?

Apparently, a posse of them followed the redoubtable Rep. Rangel, hoping to take embarrassing photos of him in a barber shop, in the process of having his hair styled in the Pompadour style.

Catching sight of them, he called out something like, "Hello, gentlemen! Why don't you come closer and see how a real man gets his hair styled!"

Now that is STYLE! He'd have it if he was as bald as a badger.

[wryter2000]

25. I loves me some Charlie Rangel

:loveya:

Did you hear Stephanie Miller tell him on her show one morning that she was in love with him? He said something like, "At my age, I need all of that I can get." He also loved Jim's impression of him.
