Beyonce has yet to apologize to Chuck Schumer for lip-syncing at inauguration

Her phony warbling made Chuck Schumer look like a fool — but she hasn’t apologized to him for it.

The New York senator angrily admitted yesterday that the pop queen has not called him to say sorry after she turned last week’s inaugural bash into an unexpected Milli Vanilli concert by lip-syncing “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

“I have not heard from her before, during or after,” a testy Schumer told The Post after he was asked if Beyoncé had called him to give a musical mea culpa. “She did not talk to me at all. I didn’t say any words to her, period.”

Pop diva Beyoncé fooled the nation — and inauguration organizer Sen. Chuck Schumer — with a prerecorded performance last week.It was clear the senator did not want to talk about the debacle at President Obama’s inauguration, which he organized and hosted.

When cornered at his regular Sunday press conference, Schumer snipped that he had no idea at the time that Beyoncé was lip-syncing.

“I couldn’t tell,” he said, “I only saw her from the back.”

The whole damn government in DC is nothing but a big stage of phonies and Chuck U is one of the worst. A lip-synced National Anthem at a phony presidential inauguration of a phony president is just DC business as usual. Eff them all!

Sounds like Chucky is channeling BJ Clinton...

No biggie to Chuck U. Now.. if she’d lip-synched “The Internationale,” he’d be furious.

How can you make a fool look like a fool?

I just remembered that Beyonce actually sang at George W. Bush’s first inauguration, I guess Jay-Z pretty much has brainwashed her.

Beyonce vs. Schumer.

I love it when A-holes collide.

She “fooled the nation”? I saw one 3-second clip of her “singing” and knew immediately that she was lip-synching. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one!

How about Schmuckie Schemer first apologize to the American people for his unremitting attack on their basic rights and the foundation of our society (the Constitution)? Until then, nobody owes Schumer anything other than some hemp rope and a set of instructions for tying a noose.

I have no problem with her lip-syncing at a venue such as this.

It is very difficult, at least technically, to pull off a live performance, at a venue like this, with the variables involved.

It can be a damned if you do and damned if you dont situation.
