Senator Schumer is a jackass

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. More at Politico:

Don't you just love how politicians like Chucky "Schmucky" Schumer think they're better than you. I mean, this dipshit is in the Senate making laws by which YOU must abide. Not him, though. He's better than you. If someone makes HIM follow rules, well, then they're a bitch etc. Hey, he's only doing it for your own good. I mean, you're too damn stupid to know what's good for you.
