Senator Chuck Schumer: Scumbag
By Wyatt Earp | December 17, 2009
Too harsh? Well, at least I didn’t call him a bitch.
Sen. Chuck Schumer loves the sound of his own voice, but it carried a bit farther than he might have liked on the US Airways shuttle from New York to Washington on Sunday.
According to a House Republican aide who happened to be seated nearby, the notoriously chatty New York Democrat referred to a flight attendant as a “bitch” after she ordered him to turn off his phone before takeoff. Schumer and his seatmate, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), were chatting on their phones before takeoff when an announcement indicated that it was time to turn off the phones.
Both senators kept talking.
According to the GOP aide, a flight attendant then approached Schumer and told him the entire plane was waiting on him to shut down his phone. Schumer asked if he could finish his conversation. When the flight attendant said “no,” Schumer ended his call but continued to argue his case.
When the flight attendant walked away, the witness says Schumer turned to Gillibrand and uttered the B-word. (H/T – Politico)
Typical “do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do” politician. You voters in New York must be very proud.

Wish I was on that plane. I would have vigorously encouraged him to apologize.
Wyatt, I went to a graduation at Fordham Univ about six years ago and this creep Shumer was not on the speakers list but he crashed it anyway to make a few long-winded self-serving remarks.

Who do this guy think he is?
Chuck, if the other peons on the plane have to turn their phone off, then so do you. Here’s a straw, suck it up and move along.

This guy reminds me of the slime your parents talk to you about when you are small. He is creepy and obviously feels entitled. Perfect example of why we need term limits. Another pompous windbag saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Hope it bites him on the butt from now until election day!

Schumer won his last reelection bid with 71% of the vote, so he’s as close to politically indestructible as you can get in NY. Arrogant doesn’t even begin to describe him. I’d love to see him get bounced out of office, but it’ll never happen. He could’ve decapitated a flight attendant and played soccer with her head, and he’d still get over 50% of the vote next time he’s up for reelection.

The Dems desire this yo-yo! When will they ever learn?

You seriously have to wonder about the mental capacity of the people that keep electing asshats like Chucky, Nancy, Murtha, Reid and the like…

He is clearly far too important to be bothered by a small thing like Federal Regulations.

AJ – One of the more terrible things about universities – almost always booking libtards.
Mrs. Crankipants – He thinks the laws don’t apply to him. He’s probably right with this administration.
MeToo – Don’t know why we have term limits for POTUS but not Congress. Just makes it easier for people to become corrupt.
John D – We should let the British take New York back.
Uncle Ray – Never. This man has a leadership position in their Party.
TexasFred – Apparently they are blinded by ideaology.
Ingineer66 – Yeah, how dare that stewardess!

@ metoo: Term limits! Hell Yes! For every Steve Chabot or Lamar Alexander who goes multiple terms, we have to suffer a Schumer, Rangel, or Fwank.

I would have loved to have been the FA’s back up on that one. Cuffin and stuffin little chuckie would have been a serious pleasure. Capstun to kirsten’s face would be priceless, too! Neither of them are worth much anyway.
