My guess is to divert attention from the corruption slop in Louisiana.

...or as Powerline notes:

"On the other hand, our friend Ed Morrissey provides a superb overview of a scandal that has taken place under the nose of Senator Chuck Schumer: "The man in the mirror." It is a scandal that involves criminal misconduct of a kind that Senator Schumer himself usually luxuriates in denouncing. Yet Senator Schumer has reacted with a strange new silence, and the MSM, most prominently including the New York Times, have treated the scandal with a silence that is described in the cliche as deafening."

Thanks, Rockitz...I'll check out Powerline. I read an oblique reference to a couple of Schumer's aides running credit reports on GOP officials or sumtin' like that.

"...and the MSM, most prominently including the New York Times, have treated the scandal with a silence that is described in the cliche as deafening."

This is where we go on Buckhead offense.
