Rangel's itching to evict Cheney

Harlem's newly powerful Rep. Charles Rangel wants to stick it to his White House nemesis Vice President Cheney - by taking over his spacious House office.
At the same time, the veteran congressman offered a limp olive branch to the vice president yesterday, saying he regretted publicly calling him an SOB last week.

"I take back saying that publicly. I should have reserved that for him when we were together privately," said Rangel. "Believe me, he would have understood."

Rangel (D-Harlem), poised to become the next chairman of the important House Ways and Means Committee, spoke of the need for bipartisanship with the Republicans, even as he continued his feud with Cheney.

"Mr. Cheney enjoys an office on the second floor on the House of Representatives that historically has been designated as the Ways and Means chairman," Rangel mused. "And, I've talked with Nancy Pelosi ... and I'm trying to find some way to be gentle as I restore the dignity of that office to the chair."

1. OMG

"I take back saying that publicly. I should have reserved that for him when we were together privately," said Rangel.

in other words .... I want to call him a son of bitch to his face.

Fuck you Dick Cheney, welcome to hell.

2. Rangel should absolutely reclaim that office-Cheney's rarely there anyway.

Prime office space for leadership is a major perk for the majority party - AND THAT'S US NOW ! ! !
Find out what secondary office space Al Gore had in the House when he was VP and the Rs had House Majority, and stick Crashcart there.

27. Yeah, Cheney's always in an underground bunker

(you know, like most vampires) so why does he need the Ways and Means Chair office anyway?

[demnan]

3. Ha-ha

Rangel is going to be calling them more than that before this is all through.

5. I LOVE Charlie Rangel!!!!

He sure didn't take any crap from bow-tie boy last night either, and put him in his place more than once!

[donsu]

9. me too (except when he got all stupid over Chavez)

4. If the Senate had been tied, there would have been a silver lining...

it would have been amusing to watch him have to sit in the Senate Chambers every single frickin' day.

6. Cheney needs to be subpoenaed

put him on the stand, under oath.

7. Advice to Congressman Rangel

Don't ever go on a hunting trip with the Dickster.

[jrandom421]

22. Unlike 5 deferment Cheney,

Charlie's been in the Army and has seen combat, so he knows how to handle rogue shooters around him! :)

[SpeedwayDemocrat]

25. And, Charlie - check for BUGS!

Not the crawly kind, as Cheney's probably devoured all of those. Some, he even ran for office.
I mean the recording/survelliance kind. You know how those Repubs like to tape stuff...

8. K&R

[Mark E. Smith]

10. Bush & Cheney have been reduced to punching bags

They're helpless now.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

11. It would be a very bad mistake to underestimate them now

They don't have the power they had with the rubber stamps in charge of Congress, but they are still very powerful and very dangerous.

[gordianot]

16. They would have to do the unthinkable. It is all they have left.

On second thought that is not very comforting.

[Straight Shooter]

12. Or maybe speed bumps on the road to democracy.

And Rangel is driving a Hummer. :D

[Maven]

13. But but but...I thought were were s'posed to be nice

to the Repubs now, ya know, to "get things done."

:sarcasm:

LOL

GO CHARLIE!

[Shakespeare]

14. Why the fuck was Cheney allowed to have that office?

Hell yes, he needs to be evicted from it.

[mopinko]

21. because fat denny had to sit on his lap

when the dick put his hand up his back.

[Jack Rabbit]

15. Those guys in the beltway are really insulated, aren't they?

A crooked war criminal like Cheney should be glad that SOB is the worst thing he's called.

[Done]

17. The office will need to be fumigated n/t

[DoYouEverWonder]

18. He needs to salt the corners of the room

before he moves in to get rid of the evil spirits.

[Demeter]

19. And We're Itching to CONVICT Cheney

Maybe we can get a two-fer going!

[The Backlash Cometh]

20. "restore the dignity of that office to the chair"

and the walls, the desk, the filing cabinet, the rugs and curtains...

[Hawkeye-X]

23. Dont forget the pens..

and the pencils... and these poor papers that Darth abused.

Hawkeye-X

24. I think Rep Rangel will get some much-deserved respect from the Speaker

Speaker Pelosi and Rep Rangel seem to work very well together. Hmmm, and his new power could bode well for General Clark...

[Chovexani]

26. Charlie is the man!

I've met him a couple of times and he is fucking funny. I love him. :rofl:
