Schumer Being Schumer
Outside of being on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, the most dangerous place in the world is to be between New York Senator Charles Schumer and a microphone or television camera. This still holds true.
HYPERAGGRESSIVE Sen. Chuck Schumer really outdid himself last week at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, lying to Gov. Paterson about an embarrassing incident and horrifying several associates with his antics, party insiders say.
Schumer lied to Paterson about the circumstances under which he upstaged the governor by denying him his agreed-on role of introducing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a senior Democrat told The Post.
Democrats lie?
Surely thou jest.
“Chuck had agreed to turn the microphone over to Paterson when Hillary showed up at the New York delegation breakfast, but then he hogged it for himself and later told the governor that (Assembly Speaker) Shelly Silver knew this was the plan all along,” the prominent Democrat said.
“But that wasn’t the plan all along. The plan, and Chuck knew it, was for the governor to introduce Hillary.
“Chuck lied about what happened, and the governor knows he lied.”
Added another prominent delegate, “Chuck was out of control.”
Funny. We haven’t heard much about this from the mainstream media. It did appear as if there was party unity amongst the Democrats and no real drama whatsoever.
Between his blabbing that may have caused the collapse of IndyMac, and now this internal fiasco, maybe the good people of New York may wish to retire this self-serving idiot once and for all.
