Schumer No-Show at Central N.Y. Job Summit to Bash Bush

Senator Chuck Schumer was scheduled to attend a 2:30 P.M. summit in Fulton, New York this afternoon, but instead cancelled his appearance to hold a live press conference to bash the Bush White House. The summit had been set to discuss the re-opening of the Nestle Chocolate Factory in Fulton, New York, which closed this past May and took with it over 450 jobs. Public officials from all over the state were scheduled to attend in an attempt to work out a plan to re-open the factory and replace the jobs previously lost. There are two chocolate manufacturers interested in leasing the building.

During the press conference, Sen. Schumer stated that it "was business as usual" with the President. It would appear that it's business as usual with Mr. Schumer as well. He's certainly shown that he's more interested in getting face time on national television & bashing President Bush, than in solving the economic and unemployment problems in his state.

The newspaper link in the heading is to the original story announcing the summit. I heard on the Syracuse radio station that Schumer had cancelled his attendance at the summit at the last minute. I put two and two together and figured he'd blown off the locals to make political points at the expense of his constituents.

SOP for Schumer has done zero for the state of NY. I have old sneakers that have accomplished more for NY than Chucky.

Chuckie is what a family member of mine with a colorful vocab would call a dumb (expletive deleted). He bails on his constituents, upsetting them, to flog a dead horse. Smooth move, Chuckie.

The bonus is, this so-called story is going to blow up in Schumer's fat face in the next 24 hours...

Somebody turned on the spotlights, and the dancing bear had to dance.

Screw all those unemployed losers without television cameras.

BUT will the rest of the liberal media WHORES report it? That my friends is the BIG question! I doubt it!

[Paul Atreides]

Ah, Schumer: Hillary's lesbian masochist partner.

[Wait4Truth]

Lieberman just said he is going to call for the re-instatement of the independent cousel law so the Bush Administation can be investigated. Can you believe this?

"BUT will the rest of the liberal media WHORES report it? That my friends is the BIG question! I doubt it!"

Probably not, but I did send messages to Drudge, Rush, and Sean Hannity.

The Syracuse radio station had been announcing all last week that Schumer was going to attend. When I heard on the radio this afternoon that he had cancelled at the last minute, it was so obvious that he blew off the people in Fulton, New York in order to get face-time on TV. I see that Novak has come out publicly on this and has already refuted the allegations that anyone at the White House was involved in leaking her name. As usual, Chuckie and the rest of the Demoncrats jump on something that has no legs and come up looking like the fools they are.

I'm going to tune into Brit Hume and see if any of the latest news on the Wilson non story is discussed.

[MEG33]

This was sent to Justice Dept. in July.There is no new news..Wilson still accuses White House sources.The Dems act like it was just referred.

"The summit had been set to discuss the re-opening of the Nestle Chocolate Factory in Fulton, New York, which closed this past May and took with it over 450 jobs."

What has he ever done for his constituents? What has his...whatever she is to him, I'm not sure...Hillary ever done?

It's New York. They'll both be reelected.

[cake_crumb]

Yep, the case just kinda washed ashore like a wave containing someone else's garbage washing up on a beach. The usual suspects are trying to manufacture themselves another campaign platform out of it. Chucky just parrots whatever the DLC tell him.

[MEG33]

Clueless Clark called for an independent council.They all have the script and Wilson is everywhere today!

[MEG33]

Dastardly,most egregious,lengths admistration will go to are just some of the sound bites in funereal tones from Schumer.
