New York Senator Chuck Schumer was reportedly waiting to take off on a flight from D.C. to New York Sunday when a flight attendant told him to turn his phone off.
According to the Republican aide who was apparently sitting nearby and told the story to Politico, both Schumer and his seatmate fellow New York Democratic senator Kirsten Gillibrand kept talking on their phones regardless.
Then the flight attendant came by again and told Schumer that everyone on the flight was waiting for him to turn off his phone. He asked to finish his conversation but was told he could not; he then hung up and, according to the GOP aide, argued about the rule banning him from speaking on the phone.
When the flight attendant walked away, the aide told Politico, Schumer turned to Gillibrand and referred to the woman as a "bitch."
Schumer spokesman Brian Fallon seems to be confirming the story; he told Politico that Schumer "made an off-the-cuff comment under his breath that he shouldn't have made, and he regrets it."
Perhaps the best detail of the story? The aide claims the phone rang again after Schumer finally hung up.
"It's Harry Reid calling," he said, according to the aide. "I guess health care will have to wait until we land."
I called one of Chuckie Schumer’s office numbers today....the arrogant bastard has got about a dozen or so locations & offices to choose from. I could only find one that answered (a young male receptionist or intern) and WOW in about 30 seconds, the little twerp & myself were going at it. I called Schumer a pathetic scumbag, plus about a dozen other key names, he was hollering at me, I was hollering at him.... it was a great call. Rat bastard liberal!!!
Chucky is a JERK!
Good for you. If only 50,000 others followed your lead, it might make this jerk wake up and realize what a jerk he is.
He regrets it?
Poll numbers dipped eh?
Schumer is a B****, Obama’s B****.
Schumer Schmuck, typical move by a rat bastard.
..where's the female senator sitting with Chucky while this was all going on?....feminist only get angry when told to.....
At least he didn’t call her congressman Putzhead, like Alfonse D’Amato called him and they plastered it all over the news and in commercials that caused ‘senator pothole’s’ demise.....
Just another Rat showing how much he cares for the little guy.
She should of had him arrested. But it isn’t too late for her to file formal CRIMINAL COMPLAINT to TSA for interfering with a flight crew. Then Demand he be put on the No Fly List. He is an obvious danger to every other passenger.
Class act.
Democrats, liberals, and elitists hate “little people” you see...
Paging NOW.....
No, she just sat there while he did it to someone else.
Charming woman.
I wasn’t making fun of her looks, would never do that.
I was curious as to what kind of female someone like
Schumer would wind up with. It’s poetic justice. I mean, look at his Boss Barack, and The First Bee-yotch.
