Rangel Questions Dick Cheney's Health
Rep. Charles Rangel
Office of the Vice President


Aug 27, 2005 1:04 pm US/Eastern
(1010 WINS) (NEW YORK) The dean of New York's congressional delegation suggested in a television interview that Vice President Dick Cheney may not be healthy enough to perform his duties.

Rep. Charles Rangel was being interviewed on NY1, the all-news cable channel, when he was asked Friday night whether he thought President Bush was taking too much vacation time this summer.

"Oh no, it makes the country a lot more safe," the Manhattan Democrat said. "The further Bush is away from Washington, the better it is. And sometimes I don't even think Cheney is awake enough to know what's going on. Rumsfeld is the guy in Washington to watch. He's running the country,"

"Cheney's not awake enough?" reporter Davidson Goldin asked.

"Well, he's a sick man you know," Rangel said. "He's got heart disease, but the disease is not restricted to that part of his body. He grunts a lot, so you never really know what he's thinking."

Asked whether he was suggesting that Cheney was not healthy enough to do his job, Rangel said, "Why do you think people are spending so much time praying for President Bush's health?"

"If he ever leaves and Cheney's in charge, there's not very much to pull together for the rest of our nation," he concluded. "This is a sad state of affair."

A White House spokesman did not immediately comment.

1. I am sure he had a STROKE when he disappeared for 3 weeks in CO

He suddenly flew to CO in the night to a hospital. They said it was for an "old football injury". RIGHT...

from Washington, the better it is."

"He grunts a lot, so you never really know what he's thinking."
