Rangel to Cheney: Clear Out

2:49 am EST November 9th, 2006 | Democrats | 8 Comments

I LOVE it.

Better pack up your furniture, Mr. Cheney, because Charlie Rangel plans to
kick you out.

The outspoken Harlem congressman, who will become the next chairman of the
powerful Ways & Means Committee in January thanks to the Democrats’ victory
Tuesday, says he wants the storied suite of offices in the House of
Representatives currently occupied by Vice President Dick Cheney’s staff.

"Mr. Cheney enjoys an office on the second floor of the House of
Representatives that [has] historically been designated for the Ways & Means
Committee chairman," Rangel said Wednesday at his uptown office. "I talked
with Nancy Pelosi this morning and I¹m trying to find some way, kind and
gentle, to restore the dignity of that office to the chair."

    I wonder if they have a nice dark rock ready for Cheney to ooze under?

    As long as we’re sweeping out Republican garbage: since the Democrats control congress can we change the name of the airport on the Potomac back to “National Airport”?

    Or, if we’re feeling real fiesty, how about “William J. Clinton National Airport”.

    Why did Cheney have an office in the House of Representatives at all? Was that the “undisclosed location”?

    No, that is way underneath the naval Observatory in his underground lair.
    Too bad there aren’t any hollowed-out volcanos in DC.
