I love Charlie Rangel

The recent spat between Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) and Dick Cheney (R-Armageddon) has been all over the news. Rangel called Cheney, rather appropriately, a son of a bitch. Republicans and the media got the vapors over such course language. Thus began the tempest in a teapot.

In an interview about the incident yesterday, Rangel was asked if he was concerned about Cheney’s mental health. His reply (and I am paraphrasing here), “Well, the Vice President has not shot anyone in the face in a while, so I am giving him the benefit of the doubt”.

Game. Set. Match.
