Congressman Charles Rangel is stepping up his attacks on Vice President Dick Cheney, saying he should take a psychological test if he wants to stay in office.
The congressman was reacting to the indictment and resignation of Cheney's chief-of-state, Lewis Scooter Libby, in connection to a federal probe of who released the identity of a CIA officer's name to the media.
In the last two months, Rangel has questioned whether Cheney is healthy enough to stay in office...while Cheney has said Rangel is quote, losing it.
"Suppose I was to challenge the Vice President on your show and say if you're not mentally ill why don't you take a test and show the American people you're up to it," Rangel said on Friday's Road To City Hall. "And guess what? He's been out of town ever since we said that. Ever since we discussed this he's left town ... It's not enough when you’re sick to say that you're not sick. That's what you call denial. It just seems to me since he's challenged me on my age that I should challenge him on his ability to be able to function properly."
At least Dick Cheney has a brain to conduct a psychological test on Mr. Rangel.
Rangel reminds be of the mob boss in the Dirty Harry film Sudden Impact who keels over dead at his daughter's wedding when Harry busts into the party, strolls up to his table, and reels off a few things he and his wedding party didn't want to hear.
Charecter actor Michael V. Gazzo. If you remember his voice, it sounds exactly like Charlie.
I am laughing so hard right now. I am thinking of a thread about Cheney and a picture which was eventually pulled. Some might have been offended by it and the mods were probably right to pull it. But is was good, almost clean fun. And damned funny!
By the way, about the time change. If it is 11:00 do I set the clock to 10 or 12? I am 51 and can never remember.
My apt is to small for either of them. LOL
Yep, their voices are almost identical. ....eyebrows too.
Awaiting Cheney's sharp retort.
Fall back to 10 O'Clock. I am working tonight. That means I have to stay an extra hour.
"Rangel is a moron."
You slander all morons. I suggest we coin a new term for that combination of stupidity, ignorance and arrogance represented in Rangel.
Thanks...
Having an extra hour is always harder than losing an hour. Screws up the body clock big time.
This guy is such an idiot. What a district that would keep electing him over, and over, and over again.
Someone should point out to Rangel that the Constitution does not authorize a psychological test for the office of Vice-President. It prescribes an electoral test - Cheney already passed.
No, he is not a moron. He is a demagogue.
Morons are usually quite harmless. Demagogues are not.
Well said - thank you. We are seeing the face of calculated evil, and we are letting it go unchallenged. There are House rules which cover contingencies such as this. If the tables were reversed and the Democrats controlled the House and the Vice-Presidency, they would immediately censure any Repub Congressman who said this about a Democrat Vice-President.
A district filled with crackheads, potheads, drunks, and crackpot liberals...lol.
It would have to be.
I have the picture that was pulled...:)
You set your clock back one hour (Spring FORWARD, Fall BACK)
So you were on that thread too! LOL!
I must say...I know why they pulled it...it was quite dramatic.
I don't think I enjoyed the naughtiness of a thread quite as much as that one...I had trouble repressing a laugh every single time I saw the VP after that.
You have to admit-the subject is rife with double-entendres, smirks, race, sex, stereotypes...all the things people in authority SAY we shouldn't find entertaining, but do.
