Rangel: Cheney Is A “Son Of A Bitch”

Classy...

Cheney fired the first shot when he predicted that Rangel - who is poised to chair the powerful House Ways and Means Committee if the Democrats seize the House next week - wouldn’t continue “a single one” of President Bush’s tax cuts.

“I think that would be bad for the economy,” Cheney said on CNBC News. “I don’t know if the stock market would like it.”

He then got in a major hit, saying on the Fox News Channel, “Charlie doesn’t understand how the economy works.”

[...]

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.

So Cheney needs help because he doesn’t think Rangel understands economics based on his stance on tax policies?  I don’t think Rangel understands economics either.

Sheesh.

I know Cheney been known to toss the occasional profane barb at another politician, but Rangel just went off the deep end.  And if Democrats get control of the House in a week this is who we’ll have running the Ways and Means Committee.

Wonderful, no?

It is hard to take Rangel serious. I can’t blame Cheney for being honest. Charlie is a token Democrat. The man is dumber than a box of hair.

Democrats are getting bitch slaped with their own smack and they can’t take it.

I prefer a son of a bitch as Vice President. W has the open hand extended to our allies and others in friendship, Cheney has the mailed fist. Good cop, Bad cop.

We need to be careful with this election. I’m stay with my team (Republicans). This military doesn’t need any help from the Dem’s and especially a true democrat veteran Senator John Kerry.

War hero, senator, loser!

Mickey,

“Token” is a fair and fitting description.  Charlie Rangle has never been plagued by the sort of bizarre and flamboyant corruption that plagued his token predecessor, Adam Clayton Powell, nor is he quite the racial buffoon played by the younger Al Sharpton.  But if you watch any of Rangle’s interviews with O’Reilly or Hannity, you can’t escape the feeling that Rangle knows only too well that what he’s saying is partisan nonsense straight from the DNC memo, but he’s having so-o-o much fun, that it can’t be all THAT bad to be lying through his teeth.

Rangle is never going to fool anyone else, much less himself, into thinking that he actually has any sort of input on policy, but the Dems will be only too happy to trot him out for the obligatory interview/photo-op.  And Good Time Charlie is only too happy to oblige.

Bat One,

Considering the volume of equals that Rangle has in his party it really makes you wonder what value there is in having the DNC at all.

Mickey on November 1, 2006 at 05:27 am

Bat One, thanks for the reminder about Adam Clayton Powell.  The only reason I listen to Charlie occasionally is that he was a Korean War Combat Veteran for a year or more.  I am an eternal optimist and hope against hope that some Democrat has the ablilty to think logically.  I am usually disappointed.

Charlie Rangle needs to get a clue.  I’m 59, I was married to the Navy during Viet Nam and things went way downhill after that.  Speaking as a boomers, this is not your father’s army.  This is an army pieced together by Lockheed, Boeing, and GM, no body armor, no air cover, no rational command, saboteurs, the enemy doesn’t even surrender their guns while we sort things out.  Just a wild west shootout, Texas style.  There are no Eisenhowers, No Washingtons, West Point isn’t graduating notables.  The Air Force Academy is jerking around with petty politics.  And the military is obsessed with having Americans prove their patriotism.  Heads up:  All Americans are patriots.  People who get up and slog off to work everyday, and line up at the checkout with a pitiful cart of mark-downs, gas up the commutermobile and drive an hour each way, and dutifully go and vote even when they know it’s a sham.  And Charlie Rangle has the unmitigated gall to assert that there’s nothing wrong with serving your country for a couple of years....that mentality died in the Korean War.  This is a war for the profit motive.  A heavy body count just means that many more Americans that won’t be clogging up the corporate spreadsheet.  Charlie Rangle should be saying “let’s open up the medical schools and train more doctors and dentists”, not “let’s give Lockheed and Boeing exact what they need: more bodies to blow away.  Iraq isn’t a war, Iraq is a body count.  They aren’t accomplishing anything in Iraq because they aren’t supposed to accomplish anythig in Iraq.  They are supposed to run up the body count and create a need for more war toys, because the deal is about the profits.

Walmart-boy, who on earth sits 24/7 and reads what people post on some obscure blog?  The only reason I posted this was a glitch in the search engine that posted it near the top.  As far as hate-filled old bitch goes, that’s a tad out of character for someone who purports to be such a fine refined gentleman, just gently rehabbing his abode, rescuing kitties and puppies, and I’m sure installing solar panels and recycled rain water tanks.  I know your type, fake hippie.  What do you do, litter your place with Mother Earth News so you can impress the locals with how enlightened you are?  Did you run to Pier 1 and get your Buddha statue, and hang a couple of brass bells on the front door so it has perfect fung shui?  Did you ever explore the concept that your anger toward smart women stems from your mommy, Golden boy.  You can get a more cooperative woman since you obviously live alone, from a catalogue of eager Asian women who would marry the Beast to get out of the slave labor factory where they sew together your clothes.  Rehab this.

Maybe he took his cue from Cheney telling Pat Leahy, a senator since 1975, to “fuck off”. Not a very Christian thing to do.

Hate-filled old leftist bitch. Sorry I misidentified you there.

For someone attempting to claim to have never been here until a “glitch” brought you here, you sure seem to think you know alot.

And I like hippies, they are funny. Almost as funny as hate-filled old leftist bitchs such as yourself.
