Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY), "the incoming chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, told the New York Post that he's got his eye on Capitol Hill office space now held by the man he recently called a "son of a bitch" -- Vice President Dick Cheney.
Said Rangel: "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... I talked to Nancy Pelosi about it this morning... I'm trying to find some way to be gentle as I restore the dignity of that office."
As for his earlier comment to the vice president, the New York Daily News notes Rangel said, "I take back saying that publicly. I should have reserved that for him when we were together privately. Believe me, he would have understood."
Don't get too comfortable, Charlie - you don't have that big a majority and you may find yourself moving again in 2 years.
