Rangel: Cheney Needs A Psychological Test

[West Coast Conservative]

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."

You have to cut Charlie some slack. He got his butt shot up in Korea and ain't been right since./i>

OH MY! A head wound? I will cut him some slack!

Big time Clymer.

[blinachka]

No doubt. I think he's the one with a bit more than a few screws loose...

[onyx]

His raspy voice always makes me think "heavy drinker."

[Brilliant]

Rangel is full of hate.

[Carolinamom]

Isn't it against the law to practice medicine w/out a license? Lock 'em up.

[onyx]

LOL! Yes, you're right!

[NickatNite2003]

Rangel should first take a brain wave
test..to see if he has any.

[RayChuang88]

Well, since Charlie's about ten, eleven years older, I think he should be a good sport and take one first.

Given what I've seen of Rangel on Hannity & Colmes, I think Rangel really needs to see a psychologist far earlier than Cheney does.

"It's not enough when you’re sick to say that you're not sick. That's what you call denial."

Charles Rangle: You're sick in the head. And you're in denial.

[SuziQ]

Rangel needs his a$$ examined, because he's already lost his head!

[lexington minuteman 1775]

There was one Vice President that was challenged, named Burr, he shot and killed Hamilton in a duel. Perhaps since the congressman laid down the gauntlet, Cheney should take him up on it? Certainly would be something for folks to talk about for the next 200 years?

[NickatNite2003]

Drain Bamage, you know...

[blinachka]

That, and he probably inhaled one too many times...

I do not think it is fair to insult morons.

Moron (Greek: "blunt, dull"):

* Originally a scientific term, coined by psychologist Henry Goddard from a Greek word meaning "foolish", and used to describe a person with a genetically determined mental age between 8 and 12 on the Binet scale. It was also once applied to people with an IQ of 51-70 and was a step up from "imbecile" (IQ of 26-50) and two steps up from "idiot" (IQ of 0-25). The word moron ........ "retarded" and "feeble-minded".

Lets change 'Rangel is a moron' to Rangel is an imbecile or better yet an idiot.

If I ever came across Rangel in a restaurant, I'd love to get the waiter to ask him for his favorite drink, courtesy of the gentleman sitting at that table over there. Then I'd slip the waiter an extra $20 to throw it in his face, also courtesy of the gentleman sitting at that table over there.

[Polybius]

Rangel is a moron.

No, he is not a moron. He is a demagogue.

Morons are usually quite harmless. Demagogues are not.

Charlie's loquaria appears to be induced by dementia. Physician heal thyself...
