Rangel Blasts Cheney For Age Remark (``ought to be ashamed of himself'')

Rangel Blasts Cheney For Age Remark


(1010 WINS) (NEW YORK) Vice President Dick Cheney's feud with Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel was perpetuated Wednesday when the 75-year-old congressman said Cheney ``ought to be ashamed of himself'' for a remark about his age.

Months of verbal attacks from Rangel turned into a back and forth on Monday when the 64-year-old vice president said Rangel is ``losing it,'' later adding that ``Charlie is a lot older than I am, and it shows.''

After an appearance at City Hall on Wednesday, Rangel was asked when the dispute would die.

``I think it ends when he apologizes for attacking me as a senior citizen. It's true that I'm much older than he is, but that has nothing to do with mental alertness,'' Rangel said.

40. I met Charlie Rangel in person
He's a big guy, over six feet and in great shape. Not only that, but he's smart, interested in everyone, not just oil rich sheiks, and I would love to see him take on old Cheney. I think one punch from Charlie, and Dick would be hospitalized, that is if he didn't run away, as he always has done.

Cheney looks ancient and he has such an ugly and scary expression on his face. But he's without the wisdom of age. Charlie looks great! I had no idea he was in his seventies, he certainly doesn't look it.

Poor old Dick, all he's able to do these days is call people names. He must be getting senile, he's acting like a badly behaved five year old.

50. You know you've won the argument when ad hominem attacks start
especially when the attacks are so bigoted. And how wise of Cheney to extend his ad hominem attack to everyone, since we'll all be old one day if we're lucky.

And then Rangel was like: you so old, you was a consultant for "Jurassic Park."

And then Cheney was like: You used to baby-sit Yoda.

And Rangel was like:That's why you're blind from the Big Bang!

And everyone was like: ohhhhhhh snap!

Last line in the article:

``The fact that he would make a crack at my age, he ought to be ashamed of himself,'' Rangel said. ``He should look so good at 75.''

62. Since when is 11 years "much older"?
Especially when you get past 50, one person at 80 can be ten times healthier than another person at 55.

And Dickhead should know, evil has been eating away at his black heart for years.

He might be younger than Rep. Rangel, but he has spent a lot of tax payers money on his health problems. He needs one more surgery however; he needs brain repair so he won't be such a lame-brain. :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce:
