Shcumer sure has a non-stop mouth. His very audible whispering with Feinstein during the Ashcroft confirmation hearings was annoying to the viewers who wanted to hear the sworn-in testifiers who were speaking.
Schumer couldn't even keep his mouth shut while Daschle was making his official post-Bush-speech comments to the press last night. Schumer had to make a comment to someone from behind Daschle as Daschle was 'officially' expressing his own opinions.
It's hard trusting politicians who can't even be quiet while their fellow politicians are speaking in the Capitol.
Schumer should learn to zip his lip.
But HILLARY! does have Presidential ambitions. And HILLARY! is too smart to make such a rookie mistake. I think her disdain was calculated and intentional. I think she realized that there is no percentage for her to join the crowd supporting the President. If things work out, there will be plenty of people to reap the political rewards, and she is way down on that list. If she wants be President some day, her only chance is to hope for a debacle, and then be able to say "I told you so". Unfortunately, that means that she has to choose between her own ambition and the good of the Nation. But she's a Clinton, so there really is no question how she will choose.
