The idea that this unprincipled hack is Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee is a blight on America. Race-baiting got him there, and will unfortunately keep him there. Unless...

I'm really hoping that the McCain/Palin ticket has some long coattails. I think the absolute horror and venom expressed by the Left will cause an enormous back-lash, causing many who would have stayed home to vote the straight Republican ticket.

If we can retake the House along with the WH, we can send worthless scum like Rangel and Pelosi back to the foot of the Hill, which is still too good for them. But it could be even better. Senate, maybe? Hey, I can dream, can't I? A month ago, who'd have given McCain a snowball's chance?

"You got to be kind to the disabled."

Then I guess we should all be very kind to ol' Charlie, who is obviously mentally disabled. 

Rangel is a talker.. out of both sides of his mouth

Rangel is a smiler.. all the way to the bank

So he considers a politician who has a reputation for honesty, integrity and dignity "disabled"?   

Makes perfect sense to me.

The reporter twice repeated the "disabled" remark to Rangel, and he still did not correct himself. He meant what he said. I am beside myself with anger at all this venom spewed at Sarah Palin.

Hey Charlie.

You've got the equal rights you've been crying about so then let's get it on and perp-walk your fuzzy ass to jail for your CRIMES!

Oh, I forgot, it's not nice to be harsh on you poor unfortunate Minorities. 

If ever there was a bigger display of EVIl it hasn't been since 9/11!

If this is the best the Dems can do to represent ALL of the people ... just Damn! Who need's friends?

Actually, since NewsBusters criticizes MSM bias, we should be complimenting WCBS (CBS2) for airing Rangel's interview exposing his PDS -- and, posting it to their website for posterity with a tough headline, instead of spiking it as many others in the MSM would have done... And none of us would have known about it.

And I would call Rangel dishonest. No, make thay a crook.

Tom, Rep. Charles Rangel (D) is using the MSM's pathetic mantra gleaned from the heavily edited Gibson/Palin "interview:" "There's no question about it politically. It's a nightmare to think that a person's foreign policy is based on their ability to look at Russia from where they live."

I see that the nasty ill-informed "On the Media" James Rainey of the LA Times is at it again today as well, in promoting the same shallow out of context and incomplete view of Palin.

Well, still apparently unknown to most of the MSM, itself, (even Bill O'Reilly was unaware) and these powerful Democrat leaders, Gov. Palin, as was documented on NB, had a lot more to say on the topic of Russia and US/ Russian relations than ABC wanted voters to hear. She also said (bold was edited out):

PALIN: I do believe unprovoked and we have got to keep our eyes on Russia, under the leadership there. I think it was unfortunate. That manifestation that we saw with that invasion of Georgia shows us some steps backwards that Russia has recently taken away from the race toward a more democratic nation with democratic ideals. That’s why we have to keep an eye on Russia.

And, Charlie, you’re in Alaska. We have that very narrow maritime border between the United States, and the 49th state, Alaska, and Russia. They are our next door neighbors. We need to have a good relationship with them. They’re very, very important to us and they are our next door neighbor.

GIBSON: What insight does that give you into what they’re doing in Georgia?

PALIN: Well, I’m giving you that perspective of how small our world is and how important it is that we work with our allies to keep good relation with all of these countries, especially Russia. We will not repeat a Cold War. We must have good relationship with our allies, pressuring, also, helping us to remind Russia that it’s in their benefit, also, a mutually beneficial relationship for us all to be getting along.

We cannot repeat the Cold War. We are thankful that, under Reagan, we won the Cold War, without a shot fired, also. We’ve learned lessons from that in our relationship with Russia, previously the Soviet Union.

We will not repeat a Cold War. We must have good relationship with our allies, pressuring, also, helping us to remind Russia that it’s in their benefit, also, a mutually beneficial relationship for us all to be getting along.

[..]

But NATO, I think, should include Ukraine, definitely, at this point and I think that we need to — especially with new leadership coming in on January 20, being sworn on, on either ticket, we have got to make sure that we strengthen our allies, our ties with each one of those NATO members. We have got to make sure that that is the group that can be counted upon to defend one another in a very dangerous world today.  

GIBSON: And you think it would be worth it to the United States, Georgia is worth it to the United States to go to war if Russia were to invade.

PALIN: What I think is that smaller democratic countries that are invaded by a larger power is something for us to be vigilant against. We have got to be cognizant of what the consequences are if a larger power is able to take over smaller democratic countries. And we have got to be vigilant. We have got to show the support, in this case, for Georgia. The support that we can show is economic sanctions perhaps against Russia, if this is what it leads to. It doesn’t have to lead to war and it doesn’t have to lead, as I said, to a Cold War, but economic sanctions, diplomatic pressure, again, counting on our allies to help us do that in this mission of keeping our eye on Russia and Putin and some of his desire to control and to control much more than smaller democratic countries. His mission, if it is to control energy supplies, also, coming from and through Russia, that’s a dangerous position for our world to be in, if we were to allow that to happen.

It's the MSM which is disabled, not Gov. Palin.

Disabled eh...the only thing I want to see disabled is Rangel.

He's got away with crap for years....from the looks of things, he still may.

No hypocrisy here now is there in the msm...

Tom Delay...  just one example.

If Charlie Rangle was a Republican he would be gone by now goes without saying. But he seriously appears to be losing his grip here this week and it is time for whatever political machine that keeps him in power to be unplugged. The expression TERM LIMITS comes to mind, though I do appreciate all of the big belly laughs that Charlie Rangle has provided me with over the past couple of weeks.

Seriously though, this idea of a person being able to run for the senate until they wheel him out on a gurney has got to go. I think a nice round number like 30 years should be the maximum amount of time that anybody should be able to stay in congress just to make sure that fresh ideas are inevitable, and that old cabbages like Charlie Rangle will eventually be recycled into Soylent Green. 

This is also the 3rd time in as many days that I have either heard or read someone mocking Sarah Palin for being able to "see Russia" from her house, which not only isn't possible & doesn't have anything to do with the issues at hand, but represents a grave disrespect for those Americans who don't happen to live in New York or Los Angeles that should surely be exploited by the McCain campaign to demonstrate what a bunch of elitist, idiotic mungers the liberals are -- and what life will be like if we get stuck with one leading the goat cart here. Who cares which direction her house faces or what comprises the view from her living room? Only a liberal would to use it as a way to foster hatred, resentment and hard feelings. 

Or does this congressional leach look like a dirty old pedophile to anyone else?

CONGRESSIONAL TERM LIMITS!!!

I knew that you could.
