Rangel: Cheney Is A “Son Of A Bitch”
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?
