The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[scaeagles]

Gotta love Charles Rangel.....

Head of the Ways and Means committee who is violating tax laws left and right, and now has referred to Palin as "disabled". Yikes. I have no doubt he meant to use that word as an insult because of exactly how he said it. When asked why the democrats seem to fear Palin, he said "You have to be kind to the disabled".

Later he said he didn't mean it in "that way" and that this is now being used for "political purposes", but what the hell else could he have meant by that?

I've read that Pelosi is trying to pressure him to step down but he won't. He is most certainly becoming an immense liability to the dems.

What a boneheaded way to say it, Ch. Rangel. Oy and shame on you.

But let's talk about fear and Palin. There aren't Immodium enough in the entire universe to get her through the debate with Biden. Daily Kos is reporting the debate rules have been changed "to compensate for Palin".

McCain advisers said they had been concerned that a loose format could leave Ms. Palin, a relatively inexperienced debater, at a disadvantage and largely on the defensive.
