Schumer Talks as if he is President

The Mouth From the North has never been accused of being self-effacing. Indeed, it is pols like Chuck who give the Dems their mascot-icon of a braying ass.

The headline and sub-line of the adoring NYObserver is:

"Exultant Chuck Says He’ll Veto the Next Alito
New King of Washington Promises Moderate Court; Rove-like, Plans Permanent Democratic Majority; More N.Y. Homeland Money, Iraqi Federalism"

I believe that constitutional scholars will have a field day if they ever bother to fisk such blather.

Schumer's grandiosity knows no bounds. Back in the day, he told me when he was still a lowly congressman that he was the first Jewish boy to make it onto Harvard's basketball team. But that was a Long Island garden party and he had had a coupla drinks.
