Rangel Says VP Cheney May Not Be Healthy Enough Manhattan Democrat Sarcastic In Comments About White House
(AP) NEW YORK The dean of New York’s congressional delegation suggested in a television interview that Vice President Dick Cheney may not be healthy enough to perform his 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.”

False rumor? He actually sponsored a bill in Congress before the 2004 elections, which was eventually defeated and, by the way, he voted against it.
Silly Dimocrats. They can't even support their own nonsense!
ole charly drunk again, rehab cant be far away
these Dems have no respect - his mom should wash his mouth out and his dad paddle his fat behind.........
Here's betting that Rangel makes it out of this world, due to health issues, before Cheney does.
Remind me again how much Rangel weighs?
Small wager...Dick Cheney will more likely attend Charlie Rangel's funeral than the other way around.
Why is this pile of chit still relevant to ANYBODY?
To hear Rangel speak, is to hear a brain fart.
Oh well, I guess the Democrats have forgotten their desire to have "civil discourse" in politics....
Like everything else, you can't believe a word from a leftist, Democrat or Arab Muslim's mouth......they're ALL LIARS...
Semper Fi
Charles Rangel
Mainstream Democrat
Rangle is a greasy con artist, and if the system worked, he'd be in a federal prison. However, since he's a black leftist congressman, he's immune to the law.
Hate won't win elections Mr. Rangle.
Charles Rangle hasn't the intelligence to sit in Congress -- but that hasn't stopped him.
He inherited the seat of adam clayton powell, one of the first crooked left-wing black RATS in congress.
Charlie the slob could stroke out in the next few years.
He's no picture of health.
If Rangel was not in Congress no one would hire him to take tickets at a burlesque house.
I think Cheney will resign before 2008 to help move someone into position to be the next president.
I don't expect Cheney to last out Bush's term as president.
