Charles Rangel Calls Sarah Palin “Disabled”
By Wyatt Earp | September 20, 2008
Well, if that isn’t the pot calling the kettle black.
No offense, “Congressman.”
NEW YORK ― Already under fire for his tax troubles, Manhattan Congressman Charles Rangel really put his foot in his mouth on Friday.
In a CBS 2 HD exclusive interview, Rep. Rangel called Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin “disabled.”
The question was simple: Why are the Democrats so afraid of Palin and her popularity?
The answer was astonishing.
“You got to be kind to the disabled,” Rangel said. (H/T - WCBSTV)
Stay classy, Charlie.
The funniest reaction I have heard to this story was from Ace, whose headline read, “Man Who Didn’t Realize $5000 Per Year in Luxury-Home Rentals Was Taxable Income Calls Sarah Palin Mentally ‘Disabled.’” Heh.
