(H/T: Instapundit) Very cognizant of the plight of the working class:
…the notoriously chatty New York Democrat referred to a flight attendant as a “b[*]tch” 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.
[snip]
“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.
Just not enough to do so himself. Then again, the flight attendant was merely a woman who wakes up every day wondering Is today the day that they try to use my workspace as a bomb again? – and it’s an open question, of course, which half of that description is more instinctively scorned by Senator Chuck Schumer (D, NY). And if you think I’m being unfair… well. I suppose that if you’re likewise in the habit of muttering gender-based epithets to your female coworkers, you might have a different opinion than mine…

Great front man for your state, New York. Way to go.

Makes u wonder how they talk together all time?

I love the lame "he regrets it" jazz
bk (Diary) Wednesday, December 16th at 10:29AM EST (link)His only regret is that he got caught.
At least he didn’t say his comment was taken out of context, the other usual lame excuse.
I feel for Sen. Schumer
davepri Wednesday, December 16th at 10:29AM EST (link)Why should a man of his great stature have to suffer the humiliation of flying commercial? I’m sure his vulgar comment was made in a fit of frustration all of us would feel if we were forced to fly under those degrading conditions.

Been on that flight many times
Marcus_Traianus (Diary) Wednesday, December 16th at 11:19AM EST (link)You would be surprised what you hear on those fights- ok, well, maybe not.
I was coming back on one of those flights over the summer with Lautenberg and Menedez. Long story short, Lautenberg wasn’t happy sitting in the back (maybe it was just life in general, who knows) and was harassing the stewardess. Another class act.
Gee, why is it almost always Democrats?
“Both of our political parties, at least the honest portion of them, agree conscientiously in the same object—the public good; but they differ essentially in what they deem the means of promoting that good. One side believes it best done by one composition of the governing powers; the other, by a different one. One fears most the ignorance of the people; the other, the selfishness of rulers independent of them. Which is right, time and experience will prove.”.Thomas Jefferson
The people of NY should regret him.
mriggio (Diary) Wednesday, December 16th at 11:31AM EST (link)I’m surprised the spokesman didn’t relay the usual ‘if anyone was offended, I apologize’ nonsense. It would require actual manhood to stand up and personally say ‘I’m sorry I said that, it was uncalled for.’ But I guess when you are as brilliant as they claim Schumer to be, it’s OK to hide behind your spokesman and be a wuss….

penguin2 (Diary) Wednesday, December 16th at 11:43AM EST (link)one of the most arrogant, condescending politicians out there. IMO, centuries ago, he would have been the noble or royal aristocrat, that ordered an individual that dared to speak to him that way, to be punished, killed or sold into slavery. That’s how people like him really see the masses. He is one of the few that really stand out as actually despising the people they are supposedly serving.

johnt Wednesday, December 16th at 11:56AM EST (link)Yes, real, genuine Trent Lott at-Thurmond’s-birthday-party stuff. Or any other gaffes of any other Republican.
Should be good for at least two weeks of coverage and build up until Schumer is brought down to his knees.
Wait till the famous Reality Based Community gets a hold of this.
