shocking view from the senator from New York…
*yawn*
Drunk Report on April 9, 2009 at 8:19 PM
Strong foreign policy is over?
Traditional values, over?
This isn’t what BHO voters wanted, was it?
jgapinoy on April 9, 2009 at 8:19 PM
Yikes, and empty suit talkin
Kini on April 9, 2009 at 8:19 PM
YES THEY DID
Kini on April 9, 2009 at 8:20 PM
although i DO agree with the straight shooter aspect. it IS a pretty bold admittance but… still… they’ve been saying this for how long? 80s? earlier?
Schumers a gloomer anyway.
Drunk Report on April 9, 2009 at 8:20 PM
From the man who admitted on the floor that the stimulus was pork and claimed the American people really don’t care about earmarks.
I like this man’s honesty!
He makes great content for campaign commercials.
Nessuno on April 9, 2009 at 8:20 PM
Maybe Chuckie thinks verbal rambling will distract us from his unethical ways.
jgapinoy on April 9, 2009 at 8:20 PM
The American people don’t care about these little porky things.

Another reason to move from New York.

Great. A mouthful of beer wasted on a guffaw of awe rather than mirth.

How can you tell if Chucky Cheese is lying?

The cockroaches are coming out now.

Wasn’t it Chuck who also said that ownership of private property was antiquated?

Does anyone else think that Obama and company are about to awaken the silent majority?
El_Terrible on April 9, 2009 at 8:24 PM
If this dip sh.t believes what he says, he should resign immediately. If you can’t support soverignty for The United States, including a strong foreign policy, you should quit and leave. The blue state mentality never ceases to astound me. It is statements and attitudes like this that are driving this country into a great schism. If thise marxist/democrats don’t pull it in, they might be senators, congressmen, and judgos over and of nothing.
Old Country Boy on April 9, 2009 at 8:26 PM
Allah,
Great call! This is how you get HA readers pissed with you, back – by throwing some red meat about a liberal New york democrat’s “honesty” !
you are an evil genius.
nagee76 on April 9, 2009 at 8:26 PM
The idiots are in charge now.
And that’s coming from a former NYC resident.
Auwe! That name fits him to a T.
He’s one of the highest forms of fur-bearing rodents, as Elmer Fudd used to describe them.
Del Dolemonte on April 9, 2009 at 8:26 PM
Horrible makeup job!
SouthernGent on April 9, 2009 at 8:28 PM
So our official position is “Weak Foreign Policy” now?
That’s just awesome!

The Israeli are preparing for war as we type. They understand that being weak will not help them in their survival.

Why doesn’t Chuckie just say he hates his country.
Why all the subtlety.
notagool on April 9, 2009 at 8:28 PM
face lift Chuckie?

No

I took on this odious PoS a few weeks ago. He ran like the sniveling coward that he is.
My only regret is I didn’t have a video camera. It would have been YouTube gold.

The blue state mentality never ceases to astound me. It is statements and attitudes like this that are driving this country into a great schism.
It is easy to have this mentality when
A. You harbor a grudge about the “original sin” of this country and are either constantly angry or constantly ashamed of it.
B. You think of traditional values as nothing more than mere political tools and use it in mocking tones as Chucky did here.
C.You think that a strong US foreign policy automatically equates to white imperialism/arrogance/captitalist exploitation/what ever else negative adjective you can fill in.
Schumer says all these things because there are millions of liberals who are nodding their heads as they listen to him tripe. And consistently vote for him when he runs for re-election.
Admit it – Pretty muxh ANY Democrat with the exception of Joe Lieberman and Jim Webb could have said this, and you wouldnt have been surprised at all.
nagee76 on April 9, 2009 at 8:34 PM
It’s amazing what a majority in the House and Senate, and a Social Liberal Democrat in the White House will do…………….
…………. everything that they believe and stand for, but hid from the American people for years finally comes out in the light of day.
No need to hide it anymore…………..
……….. next up, pure hard core propaganda from Hollywood, no more subtle hints, comrade!

You’re right, the idiots are in charge. What’s worse, I think a lot of people are fooled by these idiots. I’m not seeing the Beck rage at all.
Kini on April 9, 2009 at 8:40 PM
………. that pretty much sums it up.
Seven Percent Solution on April 9, 2009 at 8:40 PM
Wow! When I saw the headline, I thought Allah was just being snarky. But NO! Do you believe he actually said that??? And some people elected this clown? And then he has the gall to tell the Repubs to throw us all out! The Repubs will be lucky if they still have us in two years instead of most of us being in The Constitution Party.
Christian Conservative on April 9, 2009 at 8:44 PM
I wonder how long we will last as a country with a weak foreign policy and the erosion of traditional values.
Another decade, maybe?

Upchuck gags on the truth and the proceeds to devour the lies of Obama…NY should be so proud!
dmann on April 9, 2009 at 8:51 PM
Ditto’s on that!! Nice blog Kini…
Shumar is a good example of the ugly American; dishonest, arrogant, legend in his own mind, pompous, and a really bad looking pussified limp dick excuse of a man. Geez, I remember the day when gangsters were at least manly.
Keemo on April 9, 2009 at 8:54 PM
Now who ever said you have to have a half a brain to be a Sen. from New York.The poster child for your brain on drugs.
thmcbb on April 9, 2009 at 8:57 PM
Crookie the Clown. Schumer is a human disgrace.
marklmail on April 9, 2009 at 8:58 PM
And as Bobby Kennedy and Hillary Clinton proved, you don’t even have to live there before being elected a Senator.
Del Dolemonte on April 9, 2009 at 9:06 PM
When is Schumer going to jail for crashing IndyBank? That POS belongs in Gitmo.
BottomLine5 on April 9, 2009 at 9:07 PM
I’ve always heard he is an attention-freak but the “did you see me” is just out and out pathetic. Carry your camera with you at all times! It would have been priceless.
sherry on April 9, 2009 at 9:08 PM
What will happen to New York when the rich have all left?
What will it take for the citizens of New York, Michigan, & California to realize that their suffering is at the hands of really corrupt Liberal politicians; tax and spend socialites.
Keemo on April 9, 2009 at 9:09 PM
Now that’s how to run a nation.
I’m truly surprised this man has never become President.
yellow_railroad on April 9, 2009 at 9:12 PM
The funny (heh) part of this is that in another society without traditional values and some level of internal and international security…Chuckie would be a dogcatcher someplace, instead of a Senator. Being Jewish, he might actually have been chopped up by the local Muslims, especially for his attitude and voice.
He turns on the source of his “success”.
Being what he is and what he has done, he has every reason to have contempt for the system that rewarded him and keeps reelecting him.
For all you useful NY idiots who keep sending this ass to the Senate…this is what he thinks of your intellect. You got the poltician you deserve.
Harry Schell on April 9, 2009 at 9:12 PM
Crash a bank, take control and change the world. He must have learned the drill from Soros and Geithner.
econavenger on April 9, 2009 at 9:15 PM
I consider courtesy and respect to be a traditional value. So if I understand Chucky correctly if I ever meet him face to face I should forget these old fashioned ideals and just go ahead and “B**ch Slap” him into the next century? Who are the imbeciles that keep voting this douche into office? Are they letting the asylum patients vote now?
Good Lord we need term limits!!!!!
primer on April 9, 2009 at 9:21 PM
Schumer is a vile, disgusting excuse for a man, and New York should feel deeply ashamed for electing this piece of garbage over and over again.
‘Course, I’m from Massachusetts; goodness knows we have our own Ted-shaped cross to bear…
CaptFlood on April 9, 2009 at 9:24 PM
Even by Congressional standards, this guy is a stain.
(Yeah, I know. Congressional standards. Just the thought made me kind of disoriented.)
hillbillyjim on April 9, 2009 at 9:26 PM
Chuck Shumer is a the quintessential a%%hole.
Whatever he advocates you better be sure and do the opposite.
For someone who is wrong so often, he sure is an arrogant condescending snide loud mouth.
DeathB4Tyranny on April 9, 2009 at 9:27 PM
Hey Schumer, never under estimate the power of the “chattering class.”
redridinghood on April 9, 2009 at 9:27 PM
All these idiots have to go. I cant stand why these senators don’t have term limits. They become orcs and goblins the longer they stay in congress.
jaboba on April 9, 2009 at 9:36 PM
Say what you want about California and Minnesota being the nutcase centers of America but New York voters are by far the most intellectually challenged in the Union, by far.

Shumer is up for re-election next year. Let’s get the blogosphere mobilized and get the Upstate grassroots to throw him out on his I-dare-you-to-complain straight-shootin’ arse.

right4life on April 9, 2009 at 10:09 PM
I have one word for this Schumer: IndyMac
He should be prosecuted.
And what is it with the Democrat politicians and all the plastic surgery?
Pelosi
Biden
Schumer
Kerry
Are there any Republicans that get this?
carbon_footprint on April 9, 2009 at 10:12 PM
As a New Yorker, whenever I see Barney Frank on TV, I say how can the people of Massachusetts vote this guy in every two years. Then my moron Senator opens his mouth and makes all of us New Yorkers look bad. It just proves there are a lot of stupid people all over this country.
boxcardriver on April 9, 2009 at 10:44 PM
I hate that man.
CP on April 9, 2009 at 10:46 PM
This hack knows he’s set for life thanks to riding on the backs the saps who vote for him over and over again. He knows that as long as he makes his constituents think that he is their “protector” and he’s smarter than they are, he can say all the dumb crap he wants. If his constituents aren’t willing to use common sense and question this politician ever, he will continue to use them with a big, fat smile on his face.
pjean on April 9, 2009 at 10:58 PM
An effective interviewer would have asked Schumer what he means by “a strong foreign policy” and why it should be discarded. Likewise, he should be asked to clarify what he means by “traditional values” (and notice that Schumer puts that term in scare quotes) and why they should be discarded. Do these interviewers not recognized where there are openings for clarification, or do they just want the interviewee to spout talking points as if they are received wisdom? (Don’t attempt to answer the last question. I think I know what the answer is.)
onlineanalyst on April 9, 2009 at 11:13 PM
Chucky Schmucky Schumer loves to hear himself talk. He likes to hear himself talk even more than Obama likes to hear himself talk, a feat that heretofore I believed to be impossible.
Glenn Jericho on April 9, 2009 at 11:18 PM

Maybe in a parallel universe. Webb very much toes the Marxist party line. All my attempts at communicating with his office have shown that.

juanito on April 10, 2009 at 12:23 AM
I don’t see ANYONE in Washington standing up to the constant violations of the Constitution by the Democrats in Congress and the great O’bunghole, not ONE of the pantywastes in Congress and don’t give me the tired crap about the GOP standing up, they don’t and they won’t because the GOP is just too gutless.
The truth is, no one OUTSIDE of government would have standing according to the bought off court system.
America, you have screwed the pooch and now all you can do is whine.
nelsonknows on April 10, 2009 at 12:27 AM
The Chattering Classes demand a hearing on Schumer’s involvment in causing the run on Indymac bank.
TN Mom on April 10, 2009 at 12:28 AM
He’s a tool, but too much editing going on. That’s what the left does. Let the man speak and be heard. What was the question? What was his whole answer?
I’m sure the majority of America will hate it, so let’s hear it all.

Was it traditional values that had Schumer oppose Freeman becoming head of the intelligence group? I suppose it depends upon whose tradditional values young are talking about.

Why is it that whenever sucky Chucky speaks, he does so like someone put Metamucil in his egg cream?!

Yeah it’s not 1980 or even 1994 anymore, those people are getting old and being replaced.
DeathToMediaHacks on April 10, 2009 at 8:14 AM
Schumer is a true believer, and I can respect that even if I don’t agree with his policies. I’ll take a liberal over a corrupt politician anytime, even thought a believer is more difficult to deal with.
DFCtomm on April 10, 2009 at 8:18 AM
Can’t wait until the day he falls … and fall hard he will.
Chris Dodd … about to get SMOKED. And I’m betting Franks and Rangle aren’t far behind. Sooner or later – these guys get caught red-handed and PAY. And so will Schumer.
Pop some corn sportsfans – the party is about to begin!
HondaV65 on April 10, 2009 at 8:21 AM
Probably the most annoying thing(among many) about Schumer is his s–t eating grin. He always looks as if he’s about to share this great snarky joke with you.
jeanie on April 10, 2009 at 8:57 AM
Amen to that Brother. He is a Chucky Schumer times 10. The only thing is that he is quiet about it. He never says anything publicly. He and Obama were “buds” in the Senate voting for the most dangerous and odious measures. He is just as liberal as Obama. He is Obama’s guy. Warner is not any better. What happened to the great State of Virginia? They used to be sensible, but I guess all of the Jersey, NY, Vermont settlers have changed our once red state.
I would love for these guys to get recalled.
BetseyRoss on April 10, 2009 at 9:14 AM
Proof that the brainwashing by the New York Times has reached the highest levels. Schumer is the ass that keeps on giving. California is bankrupt and New York is on the verge. The Schumers are in control. We’re forked.
volsense on April 10, 2009 at 9:27 AM
Did I misread that, or are you just terminally unaware of Schumer’s history? Dude’s about as corrupt as you can get, from stolen records used to dig up dirt on opponents, to stolen funds and property glossed over with political power, to creating the run on IndyMac through market-manipulating press releases, to just generally lying about and attacking the Constitution.
He’s a true-believing liberal AND a corrupt politician.
Merovign on April 10, 2009 at 11:03 AM
