Cheney: N.Y.'s Rangel Is 'Losing It'

WASHINGTON — Vice President Dick Cheney (search) contended Monday that Rep. Charles Rangel (search), the dean of New York's congressional delegation, is "losing it" — striking back after months of verbal attacks from the Harlem lawmaker. Rangel had criticized Cheney in recent interviews, saying the vice president, who has a history of heart trouble, might be too sick to perform his job. "I would like to believe he's sick rather than just mean and evil," Rangel said last Friday on NY1, the New York City-based all-news channel. Rangel added about Cheney: "... he's a sick man you know.... He's got heart disease, but the disease is not restricted to that part of his body. He grunts a lot, so you never really know what he's thinking. "Why do you think people are spending so much time praying for President Bush's health? If he ever leaves and Cheney's in charge, there's not very much else to pull together for the rest of our nation. This is a sad state of affair."

In an interview Monday with nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh (search), the 64-year-old Cheney suggested it was the 75-year-old Rangel who may not be up to the demands of his job. "I'm frankly surprised at his comments. It almost struck me — they were so out of line, it almost struck me that there was some — Charlie was having some problem," said Cheney. "Charlie is losing it, I guess." Cheney added to his criticism later in the day in an interview with radio talk show host Sean Hannity (search).

"I don't know what I did to offend him, but he's gotten pretty nasty lately.... I think Charlie is a lot older than I am, and it shows," said the vice president. Rangel, the top Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, is one of Congress' most caustic critics of the Bush administration. He has denounced the administration's handling of the Iraq war, tax policy, and a host of other matters. Emile Milne, Rangel's spokesman, refused to comment on Cheney's remarks.

Rangel's verbal broadsides on Cheney escalated in late August, when the same local news station asked him if President Bush was spending too much time on vacation. "Oh no, it makes the country a lot more safe," Rangel said. "The further Bush is away from Washington, the better it is. And sometimes I don't think even Cheney is awake enough to know what's going on."

1. You can tell the quality of a man by the enemies he makes...

[thinkingwoman]

what a wah-baby!

whine, whine, bitch, moan, complain.

Can you imagine what the pukes would have said if Clinton or Gore had called talk shows every time something negative was said about them?

:eyes:

[mourningdove92]

2. So our VP doesn't have anything else more important

to do than call right wing radio/tv hosts?

[Amonester]

6. I guess the Helliburton easy-money-provider has a hard time

finding "better priorities" these days around...

:puke:

[marmar]

3. What, he didn't call Stephanie Miller or Mike Malloy?

I'm shocked at Darth Cheney.

[Webster Green]

4. Cheney has no credibility left at all...

He may as well hang out with those media whore assholes. None of them ever stop lying.

[wurzel]

5. Being nasty is telling someone to "Go F**K yourself".

[renie408]

8. Hell, yeah! That's what I was going to say....As out of line as saying

"Go Fuck Yourself" on the floor of the Senate?? Who the hell does this ass think he is kidding??

[The Backlash Cometh]

7. Cheney doesn't know what he did to offend Rangel?

Cheney is practically butt-fucking America and he doesn't know why we'd be offended?

[glitch]

9. They are his speed all right.

bottom-feeders hanging out together. It's sweet.

[Democrats_win]

10. Charles Rangel served his country 1948-1952, how about Cheney?

Cheney supported apartheid Rangel led the fight against it!

Here's Rangel's website that includes his bio and his accomplishments:

Rangel was born in June 1930. Cheney January 1941.

11. Telling bit...

"I don't know what I did to offend him, but he's gotten pretty nasty lately.... I think Charlie is a lot older than I am, and it shows," said the vice president.

Cheney admits that Rangel has years of experience on him. And as for what Cheney did to offend Rangel, how about FUCKING UP THE COUNTRY RANGEL FOUGHT TO PROTECT while his chickenhawk ass made up lies to screw us and take this nation to war for his buddies in Halliburton.

[Canuckistanian]

12. "He grunts a lot..." LOL

Truth hurts.

[opihimoimoi]

13. Here is a guy who saw the Katrina horror unfold and he never called Bush

to do sumthin...Even as late a the Thursday when 1000's were starving and dying of thirst in NOLA, Cheney never called. And he was the one with brains....

Here is the guy who said GFYs on the Senate Floor.

Here is the guy who calls a criminal druggie on national radio...further sullying the high office of VP.

These guys are pissed and desperate....imagine, calling Rush...Damn

[goclark]

14. It shows how desperate they are --they are afraid

to get on national TV and say that crap.

They are now reduced to Rush as their go between with there base.

Twist, you heartless scum, twist.

[Erika]

15. Cheney is laughable in his whining, poor baby

Charlie Rangel is a committed patriotic American. He has ten times the brain power that Cheney, Hannity, and Rush put together has. He is also a Korean War vet. None of the rest even served.

[dweller]

16. nom'd

a faux.zzz.news article. it's an ugly job, but somebody has to do it.

[buff2]

17. They're all clinging to each other for life support

they all know they are on a sinking ship and the weeping,pissing and moaning will grow more intense as the days go on.Just wait until all the indictments go down...it's going to be like watching one large funeral service. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:


:nopity: :evilgrin:

[tularetom]

18. If he was a man he'd confront him

instead of whining to a disc jockey on the radio. In fact I wish he would I'd like to see Rangel and Cheney duke it out. Anybody have any doubts how that one would play out?

[dusty64]

19. When is Satan

gonna rapture these fuckers home? My patience has MORE than run out with em.

[spacelady]

20. Someone in a real power position would not even bother with this--

smells like desperation. Cheney is grasping at straws and coming up short.

[Tinksrival]

21. That was just his excuse.

But what he really did was send cryptic messages to the pissed of fundies that Harriot would do right by them. Just watch...........The outcry from the right will vanish before your very eyes. Listen carefully to what they are telling them. Even Dobson told his peeps he knows stuff he can't say and it's all good on Harriot.

[ReadTomPaine]

22. Take it easy old man, that ticker needs all the help it can get.

I wouldn't want Bush to have to deal with yet another appointment. He's got brush to clear.

I love Charlie Rangel.

[AtomicKitten]

23. He's calling for a pile-on.

Somebody tell Charlie to say out of small airplanes.

[FrenchieCat]

24. Come on Cheney....Grow the fuck up....and grow some damn Hair

while you're at it! (he looks heck of better when he's crying)...biotch!

[CarolNYC]

25. "He should look so good at 75."

(1010 WINS) (NEW YORK) Vice President Dick Cheney's feud with
Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel was perpetuated Wednesday
when the 75-year-old congressman said Cheney "ought to be
ashamed of himself'' for a remark about his age.

(snip)

After an appearance at City Hall on Wednesday, Rangel was asked
when the dispute would die.

"I think it ends when he apologizes for attacking me as a senior
citizen. It's true that I'm much older than he is, but that has nothing
to do with mental alertness,'' Rangel said.

(snip)

"The fact that he would make a crack at my age, he ought to be
ashamed of himself,'' Rangel said. "He should look so good at 75.''
