Senator Chuck Schumer called an airline flight attendant a bitch but he rebuts: "I never called the bitch a stewardess."

                 "But I never called the bitch a stewardess."  click here to subscribe to the eddobloggo RSS feed RSS feed 


The following incident was witnessed, Sunday, by a House Republican aide seated nearby.


"This is the Captain, folks.  We appreciate you flying with Continental Airlines today.  We're cleared for take-off so please turn off your cell phones and other electronic devices now.  Thank you."

 

"Yeah Harry.  We're on the shuttle heading back to DC.  Be careful what you say about the bill...we wouldn't want someone on or near the plane to intercept your message and spill the beans to the press or to one of those GOP stooges on this flight.  Besides, you know that all eyes and ears are on me wherever I go."

 

"Excuse me, Sir.  I must ask you and the woman in the next seat to comply immediately with the Captain's request to turn off your cell phones.  The entire plane is waiting for you two to shut down your phones and you will be in violation of FAA regulations and could be removed from the plane by marshals if you continue talking."

 

"You obviously know who I am.  Is that why you're harassing me?  Can't I finish this important government-business phone call?"

 

"I don't know who you think you are, sir, but no one is exempt from this regulation and, as I've already said, you are holding up this flight."

 

"OK it's off! But you know you are wrong, miss, I am entitled to keep this phone on until the cabin door is closed." 

 

"No sir, you are obliged to turn it off whenever a flight attendant asks.  I don't make the rules, I just follow them and urge everyone to do likewise."

 

(Turns to Sen Gillibrand) "As if New York's senior senator has to take orders from a flight attendant.  She's a bitch, Kirsten.  (Phone rings) Hello, Chuck Schumer speaking...Oh hi, Harry.  Where were we when we were so rudely interrupted?"

 

"Sir, this is getting ridiculous.  Please hang up again and turn that phone off this instant!"

 

(Aloud for all to hear) "It’s Harry Reid calling.  I guess health care will have to wait until we land.”

 

"And we'll never land if we don't take off first, so please end the call now!"


Later, through her office, Sen. Gillibrand said that Sen. Schumer was “polite” with the flight attendant and that he “turned off his phone when asked to.”

 

Nonetheless, Schumer has since apologized to the flight attendant for being overheard calling her "a bitch".  Other flight attendants who have worked on some of the senator's Continental flights have been quoted as saying: “He’s not nice.”

 

Chuck Schumer's legendary self-centeredness aside, can you imagine the repercussions if he ever calls his wife a bitch? For that matter, do you think Kirsten Gillibrand would say "My husband was polite" if he ever called her a bitch?

Every time I see him on TV he looks like a buzzard waiting for something to die so he can eat his next meal.

Schmucky Schumer and his ilk will get their comeuppance, hopefully in a federal penitentiary where HE will be someone's bitch.

A well educated and experienced flight attendant would have compromised and and said, "You're right sir. Please turn off the phone when the cabin door closes."  She did not act well in her capacity of an employee in the hospitality field.She was being a hag.  She chose to power trip with a customer.

 

TiaMia

St. Cloud, MN Times

[So you're defending Chuckie for dropping a b-bomb on her and adding a hag-tag to boot? How would you like to be dissed by YOUR senator? And didn't he choose the power trip, as well? -ED]


I believe what is sad is that these kind of 'special' people are everywhere and in positions of power and that is the scary part because for the most part they are untouchable and know it...

What can be expected from a gun grabbing tax evading socialcRAT by the name of chuck U schumer?  The attendant should have slapped the spit out of [him] then stomped on his public funded telephone.

St. Cloud, MN Times


I wonder what [they] would say if some Republican senator called her the B word. No one would hear the end of it. The guy committed a serious faux paux but [they] don't want to hear that.  None of the MSM will cover it.

Great blog Ed.

This surprises you why?? The Democrats today are the most arrogant bast**** out there right now. They really need to be put in their place and hopefully 2010 is the year it happens. That's arrogance pure and simple making everybody wait until he's off of the phone.

[On the contrary.  This stuff is par for the course for lockstep libs like Schumer and his intern Gillibrand (who follows him around like a puppy). It makes perfect content for a blogger (I'm also one of their constituents) dedicated to exposing the hypocrisy of the left -- for which the material is endless. -ED]


Schumer and Boxer (don't call me ma'm) are two peas in the same pod.

[Coincidentally, she's actually named after a dog. -ED]


I'm certainly glad Schumer isn't my senator. Then again, Shelby isn't a big prize.

Where is the media outrage??? Oh, I forgot, he is a liberal Democrat so this was OK!!!

....well Lombago -here (hear) you go again. It's your credibility problem. The story starts out by saying this was "witnessed" by a Republician. Now there is a re(lie)able source if there ever was one. "I know a guy, who knows a guy, who heard from a guy, who heard this story and now we know that it is true because the first guy heard it on
TV". jeeze louise!

 

mostly malarkey

Wausau, WI Daily Herald

[A) The story is confirmed true by Schumer's SPECIFIC apology.  B) You've been reading my rants long enough to know that when I do a dialogue piece (unless identified specifically as a quote from elsewhere) I take creative license.  So, malark, if you -- or anyone else -- has some good material that defends Schumer and Gillibrand, let's have it. -ED]


Appearance and character--sometimes "don't match" however these elected officials must understand that unless it is written, the courts will only support any agency with "apparent" limited authority. Just ask the FBI who promised the snitch more money (that was not written)--the courts would not honor the FBI's "verbal agreement" since the public must always be aware that all agencies work under limited authority--no one has carte blanche!

The senator is wrong on two levels: legally and aesthetically.

Just another self important liberal gasbag.

Every single one of those loser libs would be ripping the guy apart if he was a republican.

 

TigerCheeta

St. Cloud, MN Times


This is typical liberal arrogance and elitism. The libs think the rules are for everyone but them. If this were a conservative/republican, the liberal hypocrite politicos and leftist media would be calling for his resignation, mandatory sensitivity training, and calling him a right wing chauvinist and somehow tie it all back to George W. Bush blah, blah, blah, blah........
