Schumer "Regrets" Slur of Flight Attendant (Calls Flight Attendant a B****)

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."

Calling Captain Sullenberger, calling Captain Sullenberger . . .

A pilot has every right to show a passenger like this schmuck to the door . . . and had a heroic figure like Captain Sullenberger been aboard and ordered the slimeball to leave the plane, can you just imagine well-deserved flames thrown at the "senator" from outraged Americans?

I sure hope Rush, Hannity, Levin, and Savage get this one on the air.

I think it’s a story that he refused to follow the directions of a flight attendant, which probably would have put any of US into federal prison.

Typical of a anti-American left winger and as such will get away with anything he chooses as he is a Democrat.

Schumer is one of the —if not THE—most obnoxious members of an obnoxious congress.

Compare to the Google News articles on Cheney + Leahy + yourself . Oh, the humanity! The MSM was in a frenzy over the loss of civility.

Powerful white male a-hole in a suit calls common working flight attendant just-doing-her-job a bitch, and the MSM falls all over itself to avoid reporting the event.

They don't understand why they are going bankrupt?

Wouldn't that be quite the scene, ehhh? Imagine Capt Sully *was* actually the pilot and was told about a ruckus in first class -- Sully saunters over to Schmuckie's seat, standing tall and firm: "Is there a problem here, Senator"

And the NOW gang, one and all, will continue to line up behind Schumer. You can bet on it.

I have heard the term commonly used on the tv. I don’t believe it is currently considered a verboten swear word.

He is an embarrassment to the formerly great state of New York. All political power in this state emanates from New York City. The rest of us have to grin an *bare* it. sd

I’m sure there will now be a Trent Lott style media firestorm </sarcasm>

Doesn’t anyone in the Mediascum ever become embarrassed by their double-standards and sheer dishonesty?

Schumer is about the slimiest of them all.

I can't stand to hear his voice, it's like a soft spoken demon from hell.
