Charles Rangel has now officially lost his mind:
The U.S. acted illegally when its soldiers attacked and killed Uday and Qusay Hussein, a leading Democratic congressman complained on Tuesday, before mocking the military maneuver that succeeded in eliminating the brutal duo.
“We have a law on the books that the United States should not be assassinating anybody,” Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-NY, told Fox News Channel’s “Hannity & Colmes.”
My head hurts. Two Words: Democrat Meltdown.

“Charles Rangel has now officially lost his mind”
That ship sailed a long time ago, John. This is the guy who compared tax cuts to the activities of the KKK, and who has been pushing a draft as a means of sabotaging the US military. He’s a race huckster–an outright racist, IMO–and a wicked fool. He’s right up there with Maxine Waters as the worst that Congress has to offer.

I had just posted a comment on Samizdata wondering how long before the US is accused of operating a shoot to kill policy, when I discovered I was way too late. However I didn’t think the first shot would come from an American public representative.

Umm, John:
“Fluorescent”, not “Flourescent”.
Unless you’re trying to make a case that their idiocy is not glowing, but rather is ready to be deep-fried.

Jay Nordlinger at National Review points out today that Cholly Rangel was at the NY funeral of the recently deceased salsa queen, Celia Cruz.
Cruz was an expat Afro-Cuban, who hated Castro and was active in Cuban expat anti-Castro activities.
As Rangel is Castro’s number 1 legislative branch defender in the U.S., one wonders at Rangel’s (a) infallible ignorance; or alternately (b) his brass cojones.
I’m voting for number “a”

Just a typo…
