Schumer has a flight to forget 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. He said he was entitled to keep his phone on until the cabin door was closed. The flight attendant said he was obliged to turn it off whenever a flight attendant asked. “He argued with her about the rule,” the source said. “She said she doesn’t make the rules, she just follows them.” When the flight attendant walked away, the witness says Schumer turned to Gillibrand and uttered the B-word. “The senator made an off-the-cuff comment under his breath that he shouldn’t have made, and he regrets it,” Schumer spokesman Brian Fallon told Shenanigans. Ironically, Schumer has been a friend of US Airways flight attendants of late, lobbying company CEO Doug Park on their behalf after several of them asked the senator to help keep them based at LaGuardia. Through her office, Gillibrand said Schumer was “polite” with the flight attendant Sunday and “turned off his phone when asked to.” But moments after the flight attendant had told Schumer to shut it off, the phone rang again. “It’s Harry Reid calling,” the source quoted Schumer as saying. “I guess health care will have to wait until we land.” ‘Shhhhh!’ Nothing rankles Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) more than talking when it’s frowned upon. Take, for example, Tuesday morning’s Republican Conference meeting with members and staff. It appears Rep. David Dreier of California dared to whisper something to Rep. Pete Sessions of Texas. That garnered a strong “shh” from Foxx, complete with a pointed finger admonishing her two colleagues. She then took to the mic and told the crowd it was rude for members and staff to talk. “Think back to your school days,” Foxx spokesman Aaron Groen offered. “She’s a teacher at heart. After all her years in education, she can’t resist trying to quiet the classroom down.” Party time There are plenty of glitzy soirées around town this week. And then there are some low-key events at which still-working members of Congress try to spread holiday cheer with their staffs. Rep. Grace Napolitano (D-Calif.) hosted a sixth-floor Longworth party where — hold yourself back! — she cooked “two huge vats of nine-alarm chili ... and an equally large bowl of her famous guacamole,” we hear. Dreier cooked an “egg thing” — not scrambled but not an omelet, either — for a Christmas brunch for his Rules Committee and personal office staff.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) hurries to catch a flight after voting on Capitol Hill in Washington.

Let's see,here. Chuckie is a NYC Jew,a lawyer,and a US Senator. Nope,no reason at all to expect him to be arrogant and elitist. I especially liked his remark that health care would have to wait for him,and the implication that goes along with that statement that the country is dependent on him.
I came to the conclusion long ago that Schummer is the most arrogant member of Congress.
Maybe,but he has some pretty stiff competition from about 99 others.

He's not a real Jew..he's a Supremacist and the King of Gun Control but only for the American middle class the elite and the criminal class...Chuckie has no problem with them owning guns ...protecting their property.. or plying their respective trades..after all they are both criminals and have more in common than not. imo
When it comes to the Jewish religion,I think he is as Jewish as he needs to be to get re-elected. Kinda like the Kennedy Klan are Catholics.
That is sexist!!! Where is N.O.W?
hehehe
Schumer, this is not an off-the-cuff comment, nor is it intended to be under my breath; "Schumer, you are an arrogant asshole."
What's the difference between Racism_Boot's mouth and anal pore? There isn't any, they both spew gas and feces.
