Congressman Charles Rangel is criticizing the White House for not knowing about the Dubai ports deal until after it was approved.

Appearing on Friday night's edition of "Inside City Hall," he came down hard on President George W. Bush for not taking enough time to review the deal, particularly in light of the country’s link to terrorism.

"You have got to be some sort of an idiot to believe that 45 days is too long to investigate them and, to do it publicly so that people will feel assured and confident,” said Rangel.

Congressman Rangel also says the Bush administration is arrogant in attempting to make major decisions without even consulting Congress.

It is absolutely stunning how the Dems have seized on this issue. The PC party. When you have ridiculous, laughable Leftists like Rangle and Nadler trumpeting Bush's "wrongs" on this issue- it really shocks the conscience.

*********When I use the term "laughable" I mean these demogoguges' stature in the political arena. Indeed, these limousine leftists are hardly funny to the thousands of constituents that live under their sick social experiment. The people need to wake up.

Rangel would criticize Bush for his last BM if it were a news item.

You have got to be some sort of an idiot

Does Rangel read worm (Arabic) writing?

I would be SHOCKED if Rangel came out and said anything different.

What gets me is that the dems are blasting Bush for first following the law during Katrina, by not going into a state and having the federal government take over w/o permission or an appeal by the Governor....

Now, they are blasting him for not involving Congress in a deal that Congress made a LAW, stating that they are not involved...and that is must be kept secret.

HYPOCRITES...ALL OF THEM.

Maybe Rangle needs to know the law, I mean come on hes only a senator.

[Echo Talon]

or congressman i mean.

Rangel is a $5 pimp in a $500 suit.

[Argus]

I was kind of on the fence before, but this does it. I now think not only should we give all our ports to Dubai, we should out-source our airports to them too.

[The Worthless Miracle]

I wonder how his bills to reinstate the draft are doing?

[jazusamo]

He's not qualified to be a dog catcher, let alone a Congressman.

Hey Rangel, regarding anything that exits that foul pie-hole of yours...

Congressman Charles Rangel is criticizing the White House for not knowing about the Dubai ports deal until after it was approved.

He wants Bush to consult Congress, yet he doesn't even know that the committee was specifically set up to NOT INVOLVE politics?

[Txsleuth]

I think his ignorance is only surpassed by his duplicity.

[coconutt2000]

I wonder how his bills to reinstate the draft are doing?

His first draft was a failure. He's been ordered to do a rewrite.

love the OS X interface on the status bar, lol!

[hang 'em]

Hey Charley,

GAG ON MY KEYBOARD you political gagslut.

[rlmorel]

I imagine you feel the same way about that jerkoff Rangel that I feel about Swimmer Ted in my state.

They are both an embarassment.

I imagine you feel the same way about that jerkoff Rangel that I feel about Swimmer Ted in my state. Not quite since he's not m congressional rep-- BUT the Cankles (Hilary) representing me nationally more than make up for it.
