Charles Rangel Calls Palin "Disabled"

Congressman Charles Rangel, D-NY, who is under investigation for failing to report over $75,000 in rental income, was asked on Friday why the Democrats are so afraid of Palin. His answer: "You got to be kind to the disabled."

Later that day, he tried to cover himself by saying that what he
meant to say was that Palin "entered the campaign with a                Charles Rangel, D-NY                  disadvantage in the area of foreign policy."

Yeah, Charlie, I believe that's what you meant to say. I'm sure you meant to say that Democrats are afraid of Palin because she's at a disadvantage. That doesn't even make sense.

You said disabled; you meant disabled, and when you were called on it, this is the best spin you can come up with? Maybe you were at a disadvantage, you know, being distracted and all by the investigation into your tax evasion.
