Yet still, it's obvious that his head is full of onion soup. He is the clueless one, as her district is very similar to most of the state.

The funny part:
WALLACE: The new senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, gets a 100 percent rating from the National Rifle Association. She was the only Democrat in the New York delegation, congressional delegation, to vote against the $700 billion bailout. Is she really the best choice to be the senator from New York?
SCHUMER: Well, I believe she's a great choice. There were many good candidates, and in my conversations with the governor I never said there ought to be one. We went over the pros and cons. And we had a very good and deep bench.
I'm very happy with the choice of Kirsten Gillibrand. First, she's a hard worker. She's a good legislator. She's sort of a go-to gal. In other words, you have a problem, you go to Kirsten, and you know there's going to be a lot of hard work, intelligence and ultimately success.
The district she represents is quite different than much of the state. It's very rural. In some ways, it's more like Montana than New York City. It has no large cities. And yet even there, she has a very Democratic record.
Her ADA rating, I think, was in the high 90s, strongly pro- choice, strong on gay rights. There are some issues where she would disagree with the majority of New Yorkers. Certainly with me, gun control is one of those. As you know, I was the sponsor of the Brady law and the assault weapons ban.
But let me say this. As Kirsten begins to represent the whole state, and she's already downstate listening, you learn that the — you learn the damage that gun violence, for instance, causes in cities and that many of those guns come from out of state.

I enjoyed watching Chris Wallace refuse to let Charlie Schumer make up his own ‘facts’ as the NY media does every Sunday at his press conferences.
It's hard to tell whether you're referring to Schumer, Gillibrand, or Wallace.
The first down-state stop for a Dem is the Rev.Al. The Dems
have to start by breaking cornbread with the Rev.
The district she represents is quite different than much like nearly all of the state. It's very rural.
Sounds like he’s never been outside NYC/LawnGuyLand.
That's because the Republican she replaced allegedly beat his wife and got drunk at a college frat party (while he was a member of Congress).
Make that NYC/LawnGuy/AntiGun/Gay/Welfare/Land
It’s not that Chuckie’s never been outside the BosWash corridor...it’s that his mental benchmark for civilized population density is his old Brooklyn congressional district (where I grew up). He’s likely as awestruck by wide open spaces as is someone from West Texas coming to New York City for the first time. It’s just DIFFERENT.
Probably never been west of Buffalo...

He also forgets about the area with the highest individual incomes and prosperity in the state....Also the area that is mantaining its home values...

Maybe because the gun laws are so strict in NYC, Sen. Schumer? Or is that too big a concept for the minute brain that is rumored to reside within the pinhead resting on your shoulders (which is apparently dedicated mostly to mouth function)?
He also called Obama the President Elect. Oh and by the way, Gillibrand is the appointee not a candidate.
Funny how in just about every article I’ve seen, NRA membership and support of gun rights is being treated as such a major BFD for a legislator.
This doesn’t bode well.
Rep. Sweeney used to have this district in landslides. I wonder if the GOP can get the district back.
