Bravo Charlie

Congressman questions VP's ability to perform duties

Rep. Charles Rangel was being interviewed on NY1, the New York City-based all-news channel, when he was asked Friday night whether he thought President Bush was taking too much vacation time this summer.

"Oh no, it makes the country a lot more safe," the Manhattan Democrat said. "The further Bush is away from Washington, the better it is. And sometimes I don't even think Cheney is awake enough to know what's going on. Rumsfeld is the guy in Washington to watch. He's running the country,"

"Cheney's not awake enough?" reporter Davidson Goldin asked.

"Well, he's a sick man you know," Rangel said. "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."


Great stuff. Rangel better be prepared to be swiftboated, though. The anti-military right will not take crap from a Korean War veteran.

Oh, Lord, that was funny! I'd say let's get that guy in the Senate, but we need good reps, too.

P.S. I commented on your blod the other day, too.
