Rangel Boots Cheney (has evicted Cheney from his office in the Capitol)

RANGEL BOOTS VEEP
EVICTS CHENEY FROM CHOICE CAPITOL DIGS

WASHINGTON - Rep. Charles Rangel has evicted Vice President Dick Cheney from his office in the Capitol, and the Harlem heavyweight is moving into the prime digs today, The Post has learned.

Gilded letters were freshly painted atop the office door yesterday proclaiming "Ways and Means Committee" - confirming that the office now belongs to Rangel, the House panel's new chairman.

Sources said Cheney's and his staff's belongings were removed over the holidays.

The new digs give Rangel some of the choicest and most politically central real estate in all of Washington - as well as a measure of sweet revenge.

Rangel moved at lightning speed to boot the man he once told The Post is a "son of a bitch."

35. How about fumigate?
This is odd. I hate to discuss this, but my attic has been going through a session of get rid of the Rats. It is really quite disgusting, if you stop to think about it. Or smell it. egad.

The little critters have taken off for the far side of the attic! That's where they started, and where they have to be addressed. Has anyone asked the question of where did the repolwevils get a grip? We did something wrong! Like poor public persona. Can we stop that?

15. And sweep for listening devices
On a daily basis. Change the locks, too. Probably wouldn't hurt to have the place fumigated. I have the number for a voodoo priestess, if you're interested.

He probably already knows at least a couple of voodoo priestess. I lived there just eight years and I knew a couple. I was also taught how to break one type of curse. :think:

28. Hee- the woodshed perhaps? Nah, he's gone back to his *own* office
As VP and President of the Senate, he already has an office elsewhere, and at least one supah secret bunker. He's not lacking for lair space.

http://www.nypost.com/seven/11092006/news/nationalnews/rangel_means_to_irk_vp_nationalnews_ian_bishop_________post_correspondent.htm

"Mr. Cheney enjoys an office on the second floor of the House of Representatives that historically has been designated for the Ways and Means Committee chairman," explained Rangel, who vaulted to the top slot of the tax-writing panel - one of the most powerful in Congress - when Democrats rolled over the GOP to take control of the House.

51. Here's why...from the linked article in the OP:
"Mr. Cheney enjoys an office on the second floor of the House of Representatives that historically has been designated for the Ways and Means Committee chairman," Rangel said after the election.

Republicans gave the historic room to Cheney after he captured the vice presidency, but got him to sign a letter saying the gift wasn't permanent.

57. I wouldn't care if the repukes dared to make it "permanent"...
I'm sure the dems would treat it as it deserved, just like this...

But if the repukes had done that, this would be even sweeter!

Only thing better would have been if he LITERALLY had to throw him out on his ear!
