Senator Schumer Keeping it Classy – Called Flight Attended the B Word

Senator Chuck Schumer’s quite a classy fellow. He called a flight attended the B word for doing her job.

Politico reported:

Sen. Chuck Schumer loves the sound of his own voice, but it carried a bit farther than he might have liked on the US Airways shuttle from New York to Washington on Sunday.

According to a House Republican aide who happened to be seated nearby, the notoriously chatty New York Democrat referred to a flight attendant as a “bitch” after she ordered him to turn off his phone before takeoff.

 Schumer and his seatmate, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), were chatting on their phones before takeoff when an announcement indicated that it was time to turn off the phones.

 Both senators kept talking.

According to the GOP aide, a flight attendant then approached Schumer and told him the entire plane was waiting on him to shut down his phone. 

Schumer asked if he could finish his conversation. When the flight attendant said “no,” Schumer ended his call but continued to argue his case.

He said he was entitled to keep his phone on until the cabin door was closed. The flight attendant said he was obliged to turn it off whenever a flight attendant asked.

 “He argued with her about the rule,” the source said. “She said she doesn’t make the rules, she just follows them.”

 When the flight attendant walked away, the witness says Schumer turned to Gillibrand and uttered the B-word.

Schumer doesn’t think the rules apply to him – he’s above it all. He was supposed to turn off his phone, but the article noted that shortly after calling the flight the B word his phone rang – it was Harry Reid. Oh, and of course Senator Gillibrand stood up for him, saying he was “polite” with the flight attendant. I guess degrading a woman for doing her job is considered polite behavior among the ruling liberal elite.
