A friend emailed me this morning an article she read on Farcebook about Schumer. Seems his lesbian daughter had a 16 y.o. friend with whom Schumer had regular sexual relations, resulting in her becoming pregnant more than once (and I guess having an abortion each time). This friend is supposedly now coming out with this, following the women coming out to tell about Cuomo's romps. Anyone know about the truth of this?
I haven’t heard anything about this, but the rumor is as good as gold . . . so, let’er rip!

There should be a law called the “Give Taxpayers A Break.” The law should stipulate no bill can be over 100 pages long, including sited material.
