Rangel Kicks Cheney Out

Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) "has evicted Vice President Dick Cheney from his office in the Capitol, and the Harlem heavyweight is moving into the prime digs today," according to the New York Post.

"Gilded letters were freshly painted atop the office door yesterday proclaiming 'Ways and Means Committee' -- confirming that the office now belongs to Rangel, the House panel's new chairman. Sources said Cheney's and his staff's belongings were removed over the holidays. The new digs give Rangel some of the choicest and most politically central real estate in all of Washington -- as well as a measure of sweet revenge. Rangel moved at lightning speed to boot the man he once told The Post is a 'son of a bitch.' Even before Rangel officially took charge as the new chairman -- which will happen at noon today -- Capitol workers expunged the last traces of Cheney and brought in Rangel's plush furniture."

3. Hilarious

I can just imagine Cheney, sitting in some slighly lesser grandiose office, quietly fuming over his demotion.

[bdamomma]

FU Cheney, now it's your turn.

14. For some reason..........

I'm reminded of the pictures (and the accounts) of Eisenhower accepting the surrender of Germany from the Admiral who was appointed to do so....

Eisenhower was cold.

Not respectful

Extremely businesslike...

Eisenhower knew he was dealing with evil...defeated evil and he gave them no quarter...he "cut them no slack"...

Rangel knows who he's dealing with....he cuts them no slack.....and they, Republicans in general and Cheney in particular, deserve none...

17. Have that place feng shuied and blessed by a priest, a rabbi,a

medicine man, sprinkle it with holy water, and put salt in the corners. THEN it will be ok!

Oh, and don't ferget to sweep for bugs. (electronic and otherwise)

18. "Capitol workers expunged the last traces of Cheney"

Need a hazmat suit for that I'm sure. Pure evil can be tough to remove.

22. Rangel to Cheney-

Buh-bye!

[demnan]

24. Wonderful!

Now if only they can remove that strong smell of sulphur. . .

[xchrom]

26. you know he wiped that office down with clorox.

[Robbien]

27. What pisses me off is that the Dems had to be cramped in to allow

for Cheney to take one of the offices reserved for the house. Cheney takes the best room and everyone else moves down a slot. The Dems at the bottom where cramped.

Now that the Dems have taken back the room, the GOPers at the bottom will not be as cramped. With all the whining the GOPers are doing around town now, they should at least have it as bad as the Dems did.

At least one GOPer is worse off. Poor Dickie.
