Rep. Charles Rangel: 'No Animosity' Toward Cheney
Rep. Charles Rangel feels bad - but not too bad - about directing a curse word at Vice President Dick Cheney.
Rangel, a Harlem Democrat who regularly exchanges verbal volleys with the vice president, called Cheney a "son of a b...." on Monday when asked by the New York Post about comments Cheney made about him in a television interview.
He repeated his comments in an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, but added, "I shouldn't have said it."
"I thought that he should be flattered, there's certainly no animosity in it," said Rangel, saying he had been making an observation about Cheney. "Some people just have that as part of their personality."
Cheney's spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride declined to address Rangel's off-color language.
