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.

Rangel wouldn't be able to identify an idiot even if you held a mirror to his face and explained why.
But .. Rangel's statement are pure politics - and are probably due to pure ignorance.
THE STATUTE GOVERNING THIS PROCESS FOR THE PORTS - was written by our own congress - and Rangel doesn't know IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SECRET!
Rangel is a shill for Hillary. He says all the garbage she can't get away with anymore .. allowing her to appear in a better light. I wonder what she has on him that's he's so willing to carry her water.
it's a little like criticizing the conductor because the second violin missed a note.
The idiot here is Congresscritter Rangel who is LYING. As Admin witnesses at the US Senate said Wed, the Port Deal investigation took 90 days. Doubtlessly they are fudging the facts and some part of it took less then 45 days but the Feds spent 90 days on the investigation. What scumbags the Democrat Leadership are.
