Schumer Stranded At Heathrow Airport
(AP) LONDON Among the thousands of frustrated flyers stuck at London's Heathrow Airport today is U.S. Senator Charles Schumer -- a jet-lagged casualty of worldwide delays and cancellations that grounded his family vacation.
Schumer said, "It's a nightmare, everyone's stuck, and our flight is apparently delayed until Sunday."
The New York Democrat and his family arrived at Heathrow Airport at 9 a.m. London time today, but the plane was forced to sit on the runway for two hours before disembarking.

Just reading this gives me the mental picture of Schumer as Frazier Crane. He's such a prissy little pompous twerp and I get a chuckle at his inconvenience and crabby attitude.
Any chance they can keep him there until after Nov. 7?
The I really hate Chuck Schumer bump....
Hey smukey, just tell them how important you are and I'm sure they will bend over backward for you --- Then again maybe not.
Schumer said, "It's a nightmare, everyone's stuck, and our flight is apparently delayed until Sunday."
No, I nightmare would have been being on one of those planes with a terrorist is they hadn't foiled the plot...
Why? I didn't! ;>)
Don't fight it.........let it go with the rest of us~~~
Darn......you beat me, but ain't it the truth?
