Charlie Rangel called Dick Cheney "A SON OF A BITCH!"

[in_cog_ni_to]

HIS words, not mine.:rofl::rofl:

He said MUCH MUCH more and I hope Wolf reads it ALL! It was GREAT! I heard it on C-SPAN this morning and Charlie just let it rip! Turn on CNN...Wolf is getting ready to talk about it. Maybe he'll read the whole article.

Go Charlie! Go Dems!

[Bluzmann57]

1. Charlie Rangel has never been afraid to say what he thinks

The Dems need more like him.

[SoFlaJet]

2. let us know

I can't bring myself to watching and besides Randi is ripping them a new one today

[Cleita]

3. Charlie is a great guy.

I hope we take back the house and that he becomes chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.

[bobbie]

31. He is a great guy, downright sweet

I've been lucky enough to meet him in the Capitol and talk with him privately. He seems very kewl. And damn he's a classy dresser. He clearly likes Wes a lot. But...

I've been very disappointed with his voting: against the challenge on the Ohio electors two years ago, for the martial law bill a few weeks ago...WTF? Who is the real Charlie?

[Cleita]

37. In spite of that. If he becomes head of the Ways and Means

Committee, which has been chairmaned by my odious Congressman Bill Thomas, you will see legislation coming up on the Congressional calendar that is quite different from what has been getting through, like maybe a meaningful prescription drug benefit on Medicare and no doubt bi-partisan investigations into 9-11 and the invasion of Iraq and maybe even impeachment hearings.

[notadmblnd]

4. I heard that when someone asked charlie if he thought Dick needed help

of the professional sort, Charlie replied something to the likes of; Well... he hasn't shot anyone in the face yet this week.

that's just too funny :rofl:

[in_cog_ni_to]

7. YES! He said, "well, he hasn't shot anyone in the face lately so I'll give him

the benefit of the doubt.":rofl: :rofl:

Charlie ROCKS!:yourock:

Cheney Dismisses Critic With Obscenity
Clash With Leahy About Halliburton
By Helen Dewar and Dana Milbank
Washington Post Staff Writers
Friday, June 25, 2004; Page A04


A brief argument between Vice President Cheney and a senior Democratic senator led Cheney to utter a big-time obscenity on the Senate floor this week.




On Tuesday, Cheney, serving in his role as president of the Senate, appeared in the chamber for a photo session. A chance meeting with Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (Vt.), the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, became an argument about Cheney's ties to Halliburton Co., an international energy services corporation, and President Bush's judicial nominees. The exchange ended when Cheney offered some crass advice.

"Fuck yourself," said the man who is a heartbeat from the presidency.

Leahy's spokesman, David Carle, yesterday confirmed the brief but fierce exchange. "The vice president seemed to be taking personally the criticism that Senator Leahy and others have leveled against Halliburton's sole-source contracts in Iraq," Carle said.

As it happens, the exchange occurred on the same day the Senate passed legislation described as the "Defense of Decency Act" by 99 to 1.

Cheney's office did not deny that the phrase was uttered. His spokesman, Kevin S. Kellems, would say only that this language is not typical of the vice presidential vocabulary. "Reserving the right to revise and extend my remarks, that doesn't sound like language the vice president would use," Kellems said, "but there was a frank exchange of views."<snip>

[Old and In the Way]

15. Or what if Charlie had told him to "go fuck yourself"?

like Cheney said to Patrick Leahy on the floor of the US Senate? I'll bet that would have really upset Republicans.

[Catherine Vincent]

20. heh heh

Republicans thought that was one bad mother! LOL!

[Torgo Johnson]

16. Thank you for your concern.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

25. Your concern is inspiring.

And helpful. Thank you for it!

[immoderate]

30. Rangel was reacting to some pretty nasty things Cheney said.

In context, Rangel was appropriate. I don't have the link, but check it out.

Hey, welcome to DU! :hi:

[BornagainDUer]

32. Cheney is getting what he gives.

[az chela]

6. HIP HIP AWAY For CHARLES

[pinto]

9. Wolf quoted the SOB statement verbatim. Short, little follow up,

but the quote was left intact. Ha. If any one best deserves the moniker in the Bushco administration, it is Cheney...

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

12. The real Dick Cheney was secretly buried in a cemetery in Italy

shortly after birth, and the mother of the current Vice President indeed was a dog, and is buried in the same Italian cementery.

[judaspriestess]

17. LOL

I think that often. but I liken dickhead cheney to a CHUD

[Rincewind]

19. wrong

Please get your facts straight, the mother of the current Vice-President was not a dog. She was a hyena.

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. LOL!

:rofl:

Good one!:rofl:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

29. Well, a female hyena is called a "bitch" too

according to this dictionary of animal names:

http://dictionary.reference.com/writing/styleguide/animal.html

So Charlie is still correct either way.

[tsuki]

13. Good for Charlie! n/t

[tridim]

26. He's also a Husband of a Bitch.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

27. An insult to "sons of bitches" everywhere.

I'm offended, really!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

28. the truth hurts, no?

Cheney is one mean, nasty, SOB.

[in_cog_ni_to]

34. Here it is! It's on CNN NOW!!! n/t

[Gabi Hayes]

35. heh hehe......"Dick and I are old friends!"

"I'm sure he remembers when he told a colleague in the Senate to commit a sexual act!"

[in_cog_ni_to]

36. Charlie is AWESOME!
