Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was roasted on social media for creating a fictional Long Island couple called Joe and Eileen Bailey, whom he has based his entire political career on.

During an episode of Last Week Tonight, British-born HBO talk show host John Oliver shared several clips of Schumer talking about the fictional couple, describing them as being “middle-class” and having “bought into Reagan Republicanism in 1980.” Schumer has explained that he has “guided” his political career “through the Baileys.”

“They’re a middle-class couple in Massapequa, which is a suburb on Long Island,” Schumer said in one clip from an interview on Lou Dobbs Tonight on CNN.

“Joe and Eileen Bailey, this middle-class couple, they bought into Reagan Republicanism in 1980,” Schumer says in another clip. […]

A Washington Post article from November 2018 notes that before the fictional couple was named the Bailey’s, Schumer called them the “O’Reillys.” A former spokesman for Schumer noted that Schumer used to ask, “What would the O’Reillys think?” before changing the last name to Bailey. …

It worked didn’t it?

It worked because the Leftist Press is not going to expose the lies of a Leftist Senator (Representative, Mayor, Attorney General, etc).

The Baileys recently moved to Florida, right down the street from me.

The Baileys don't like Chuck. What they told me about Schumer was . . .

Maybe Bailey O'Reilly was the person who kept sending secret notes to Dick Gephardt all the time?

Schumer is the epitome of a non talent Dem rising to the pinnacle of power in his party. That’s how weak the party is.

It seems journalists need to go back to elementary school to learn how to make plurals.

Schumer was originally elected to run blacks out of a Jewish neighborhood in NYC. Now he has a Cornpop (ala Biden).

Schumer’s a schlub.

We shouldn't be disrespectful casting aspersions.

The proper term is: Schmuck

Schmuck, or shmuck, is a pejorative term meaning one who is stupid or foolish, or an obnoxious, contemptible or detestable person. The word came into the English language from Yiddish, where it has similar pejorative meanings, but where its literal meaning is a vulgar term for a penis.

ex:
ChuckSchumer

(I think he may even have the term trademarked)

If I remember correctly, there were involved discussions at the Bridge World about how to refer to a couple named Bailey. The editor believed “Bailey’s” was the best way and cited examples of various usages.

That was probably 50 years ago, so perhaps things have changed since then. It’s also a distinct possibility I’m remembering this incorrectly.
