#1 repost from last night - how many of "Chollie" Rangel's Black Congressional Caucus (i.e.: Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, et al) cohorts are signers? Publish the names of the traitorous scum, Rangel!

#2 I'm surprised that a proposal that probably represents mainstream thinking within the Democratic caucus only got 26 supporters out of a couple hundred Democrat representatives. Signs of intelligent life (or survival instincts below the level of conscious thought)?

#3 Rangel never ceases to amaze. The ensuing year of 'campaigning' is going to be ugly beyond belief. Extra large order of re-heated Vietnam with a side of SS squad hysteria TO GO! Order UP!

#4 I wonder if this is more of a stunt by the Black Caucus to get some face-time in the media. There has not been allot of minority attention since the War on Terrorism began. I expect the wheel to become more squeaky leading up to the elections, then they will fade away again.

#5 You know, I love New York, but the what the hell is up with your voting? Rangel, Schumer, Swillary three of the worst politicos of our time all in one state!

#6 It's a stunt. Chuck needs to be in front of a camera, why I am not sure (He is not very photogenic). You remember when this all started that Chuck said the 'Most of the combat will fall on the minorities.' Of course this is more race baiting. I wouldn't be surprised if the resolution didn't contain: 'to help promote better race relations in the service.' If this isn't cowardliness in the face of the enemy, it's the first cousin.

#7 I can't wait until that list of politicians, celebrities, and persons of infulence who were on Sadaam's payroll is releases. I would only be surprised if he WASN'T on the list.

#8 Give me a petition to fire Chuckie Rangel, and I'll sign. Twice. Maybe even three times.

#9 I'll tell you what's up with our voting here in NY. It's NYC, where I live. Overwhelmingly influential in election outcomes because of the population, and the fact that most city folk think of Westchester County as "upstate," unaware of just how much there is in this state.

#10 "demonstrated a lack of sensitivity"

A 'sensitive guy' running DoD? Yeah, that'll work...

#11 this is such big news I can't find it on Google or Reuters - trying to find out which losers co-signed, altough I bet I can guess most of them

#12 eyeyeye said, "The ensuing year of 'campaigning' is going to be ugly beyond belief."

I agree, its going to get ugly. What I'm really wondering about is what happens if Bush wins by a landslide. Will that settle people down, after all he's elected then, not selected. Or will it drive them more insane, after all there is something about George W. Bush that seems to derail rational thinking in some of the left.

#13 That's OK - now the White House can call for each of these CongressCritters to fire one of their highest-ranking, most valuable staffers. Fair's fair, no? If these clowns don't believe in the separation of powers, why should the White House? Because of the Constitution they swore to defend, you say? Unimportant; what matters it that they GET THEIR WAY, even in things that are none of their business.

Wotta buncha maroons.

#14 Rumsfeld is doing a decent job imho. One of my buddies who was working at the Pentagon for a while said the guy is the most cantankerous & grumpy bastards you'll ever meet, but, he's respected for his ability to get the job done & cut to the heart of the matter.

Rangel's always good for a laugh. I think Sharpton and him go to the same barber.....
