RANGEL BOOTS VEEP
EVICTS CHENEY FROM CHOICE CAPITOL DIGS
By GEOFF EARLE and IAN BISHOP Post Correspondents

January 4, 2007 -- 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.

And we earned some vindication.

8. You think the NY Post is trying to encourage Democrats--especially
"Harlem heavyweight" type Democrats in new gilded offices? Think again. Please see my post (#2) at one of the other threads on article, which I think is deeply racist:
