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. When they finally got off the plane, they were greeted with the chaos caused by the arrests in a major international terror plot.

The Schumer family spent eight hours racing back and forth between Heathrow terminals just trying to catch up with their luggage.

There's a silver lining to every cloud ... Schumer stuck in London for the next several days is certainly a silver lining to this event.

IN EVERY CLOUD THERE IS A SILVER LINING!

Maybe the Brits could detain him until November 5th?

Even though he spend hours racing between terminals to catch up with his luggage, he had plenty of time to phone in his story.

"They missed you. This time. Ready to really fight a war on terrorism now?"

...what I'd say to the Senator

How long before the Dems demand a mandatory US-led evac from the UK airports?

Unless of course, he was on one of the doomed planes in which case he wouldn't be able to open his fat trap at all.

I can see the Ultimate Wellstone event. Thanks a lot :>)

Do they know which specific flights were targeted?

The smarmy Chuck Schumer should lead one of his little parades. He is lucky the IslamoNazis cannot selectively target vermin like himself.

Little does upChuck realize that this is the first step in a complex scheme of intrigue and sabotage. Next, he will be graciously offered an alternative flight rerouted through Malta. That flight will end up in Herzogovina, and he will be forced to take a bus to Budapest, where he will be separated from his family. The bus carrying him will continue on to Smolensk, where he will tranfer to an oxcart taking him to Bratislava. But it will never arrive, disappearing somewhere in the Ukraine near the (supposedly) abandoned ruins of Chernobyl. A couple of years from now, a huge mutant creature bearing an eerie resemblance to Chuck Schumer will be unleashed on Tokyo, only to be drubbed by Godzilla, but not before tearing down numerous electrical lines and crushing dozens of buildings.

Try again, and really put your back into it..........

Hey, why would you want to inflict that torture on innocent Mongolians?????

I say his luggage should end up on the tarmac in Somalia.

Cry me a river.

LOL! I guess being a big shot on Capitol Hill and in his own mind doesn't count for much when a nation is embroiled in a crisis caused by the Islamofacists to whom Shumer and his ilk want to capitulate.

There are worse situations. Imagine Fat Ted on a trans-Atlantic flight where no "liquids" are allowed.
