...for the first time he encounters Dick Cheney after this incident. Cheney's already famously suggested that Sen. Patrick Leahy should attempt a physically impossible sexual act, right on the floor of the U.S. Senate.

Oh, the possibilities! What might spill from the enchanting mind and lips of our enchanting Vice President? The media had better review existing rules about the words and phrases that can be printed or broadcast -- wouldn't want to run afoul of the FCC or other watchdogs who guard the public sensibility!

ah--what a tantalizing headline that were.

It'd be hard for Rangel to enjoy his new office with a face full of bird shot.

Then again, I wouldn't call what Cheney does "hunting" -- it's more like a caged bird slaughter-fest, with the occasional lawyer thrown in to vary the blood sport.

the waste baskets for the kind of surprises a sick-o man like Cheney would "leave". Also, I'd have it throughly scrubbed for electronic devices and have an order placed to remove the foul odor Cheney has been emitting for the past decade or so. I think that's why he has that grimmace-like half-smile pursed for our entertainment. And I also agree with the suggestion Rangle not go hunting with dead-shot Dick. It brings renewed meaning to the word "duck"...

ROTFLMFAO! I love it, love it, love it! Nothing nasty, nothing bullying, nothing vengeful, just plain and simple "to the victors go the spoils." Let every House and Senate democrat take their cue from Rangel: Exercise every privilege to which you are entitled by virtue of the election. Not one step more, but not one step less.

There's a new sheriff in town, boys, and she suffers neither fools nor bullies.

HA!

... how about picking out a nice new set of curtains?

The boot should be right out of the whitehouse and his partner in crime with him!
