Please don't tell me I'm the only one here fed up with Chuck Schumer
He was a disgrace today at the committee hearing. While even Republicans expressed wariness (to varying degrees), Chuck Schumer stood out in his blatant defense of Paulson. I was disgusted. This is only the latest in a long line of embarrassing episodes. Bought and sold by the New York banks.

Fuck this guy.

5. It will nosedive with or without it.
The difference being that, with a bailout, the party will continue on Wall Street.

Wall Street Dems helped drive the get-away car. We debate all day whether he had a gun to his head...

18. Schumer represents New York; he's a memebr of the DLC;
he's in the pocket of big business. This is not news.

He is a sell out--not as much as the senator from Israel, Joe Lieberman, but still a sell out.

26. Some of his constituency in the short term but in the longer term
Edited on Wed Sep-24-08 01:33 PM by kaygore
I think it will be disastrous for 99% of his constituency, unless by "constituency" you mean those bank rolling him!

25. Conflict of interest.
What's good for Wall Street is good for Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton. Wall Street is part of their constituency.
