Rangel wants Cheney to apologize

NEW YORK - Vice President 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.

Rangel has suggested in recent interviews that Cheney, who suffers from heart trouble, might not be healthy enough to do his job.
"I would like to believe he's sick rather than just mean and evil," Rangel said last Friday on the cable channel NY1.

During an interview Monday with nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh, Cheney said he was bewildered by Rangel's attacks. "I'm frankly surprised at his comments. It almost struck me - they were so out of line, it almost struck me that there was some - Charlie was having some problem," Cheney said. "Charlie is losing it, I guess."

In another interview that day, Cheney made the remark about Rangel's age. The Democratic lawmaker is the dean of New York's congressional delegation, and one of the loudest critics of the Bush administration on Capitol Hill. "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."

Rangel's been hurling insults at Cheney for months about his age. Cheney finally swings back, and Rangel wants an apology. So typical.

Mr. Rangel has been a politician way too long. I wish people would stop voting for him!

Hopefully Rangel will become chair of the House Ways and Means committee in 2007. We'll how funny Cheney thinks that is.

I used to like Rangel, but lately he's just a loon. Calling Bush today's Bull Connor, and repeatedly going after Cheney about his age (what's up with THAT?)...he's getting loopy. He makes Howard Dean seem polite.

He's probably just playing to the far left of his base. The human insult machines. The nastier, the better, for them.

Either that, or Chucky's going senile.
