SHHHH, NOT YET:
In TV tirade, Rangel calls Cheney a 'sick man' (GLENN THRUSH, August 27, 2005, Newsday)
Rep. Charles Rangel, the gravelly voiced dean of the New York State congressional delegation, launched a blistering attack on Vice President Dick Cheney Friday night, calling him a "sick man" who was unfit to lead.In a rambling interview on NY1, the Harlem Democrat also said Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is the "guy who's running the country" - not Cheney or President George W. Bush.
"Sometimes I don't think Cheney is awake enough to know what's going on," Rangel said. "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."
You'd think Mr. Rangel would have been around long enough not to play into the President's hand. The announcement that Mr. Cheney is too sick to stay on doesn't come 'til '06. Posted by Orrin Judd at August 28, 2005 1:31 PM
So will Condi step up to the plate and hit one out of the park for all us girls? Lordy, Lordy! What a thought.

Being called a sicko by Rangel is actually an endorsement.

Posted by: Governor Breck at August 28, 2005 6:19 PMCharlie Rangel is as bad as Al Sharpton, but he never actually incited a murderous race riot, and he's been in Congress a long time, so he gets a pass.
Incidentally, Rangel is the ranking member of the Ways and Mean Committee, and he stays in Congress only with the hope that he will be chairman someday. Just like Conyers and the Judiciary Committee.

Posted by: wyck at August 29, 2005 12:06 PMRangel used to be fairly sane, for a liberal Democrat. It's hard to say whether his recent insanity is the natural life-cycle of the liberal or BDS.
