Top O’ the Briefing
Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Jekkinon cherished the memories of his days as the Ottumwa region’s “King of the Heavy Metal Trombone.”
Paraphrasing the Bard: I come not to bury Schumer, but to praise his cockroach-like ability to hang around.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is having a rough go of it here lately. Well, since he’s a Democrat, he’s actually been having a rough go of it since November 5, but his road has gotten a lot bumpier in the last week. Many think it’s only going to get worse for him, but I tend to think that the bumpy road will smooth itself out. More on that in a bit.
Here’s a snapshot of Schumer’s dilemma from Rick:
Minority Leader Senator Chuck Schumer is in deep trouble. For sure, it’s all of his own making. Schumer’s decision not to filibuster the Republican Continuing Resolution (CR) and drag nine other Democratic senators with him to vote for it caused most Democrats in the country to emit a primal scream of rage and anguish over what was actually a clever political move by Schumer.
The prevailing sentiment among many of my colleagues is that, with the Dems’ internecine knives out, Schumer might be truly vulnerable for the first time in his long political career. He’s been in the United States Senate for 26 years, and was in the House of Representatives for 18 years prior to that. Schumer was in the New York State Assembly before heading to Washington, so his experience in the private sector pretty much ended the moment he left college.
My point with all of that Schumer biographical information is that it’s difficult to get rid of a career politician who has been doling out favors for almost half a century.
A politician who is really vulnerable wouldn’t be able to be as publicly stupid as Schumer repeatedly is. This is from my friend Matt Vespa at Townhall:
Still, on The View, the New York liberal genuinely affirmed his position of being one of the faces of America’s dumbest party with this line about Americans and their hard-earned money: he thinks it all belongs to him.
“Their [Americans] attitude is, ‘I made my money all by myself. How dare your government take my money from me?'” he said.
Yikes. Schumer said that while getting in front of television cameras as part of a PR rehabilitation tour. It’s almost impossible for a Democrat not named Kamala Harris to step in publicity mine fields whilst palling around with the shrieking harridans on “The View.”
It’s true that Schumer is in a bit of a pickle at the moment. The Dems’ disarray has been well documented here by me and my colleagues. Their frustration over President Trump’s victory last year and his string of wins since he’s gotten back into office is bubbling over and Schumer blundered into being their whipping boy.
These Dem squabbles tend to be superficial most of the time. They’re loud and full of vitriol, but the Unity Candle is never far away and ready to be lit.
There’s also the fact that the Democratic voters who have been electing Schumer to state and national offices since Gerald Ford was president are, put mildly, idiots. He’s never been the sharpest tool in the shed, yet they keep voting for him and have kept him in office so long that he drifted to the upper tier of his party.
Chuck Schumer might be in disfavor with younger, louder members of the Democratic party, but he’s a fossil that isn’t easy to move. I know I’m going against the grain on this one, but I think the Chuckster will be irritating us for a lot longer than we’d like.
Programming Note. My friend and colleague Chris Queen and I are now doing a podcast called “Faith All Over the Place.” It’s a wide-ranging, ecumenical conversation between the two of us and with guests from time to time. Last week, my old pal from the Christian Broadcasting Network Billy Hallowell joined us to talk about his new documentary “Investigating the Supernatural.” This week’s guest is Chris’s friend and pastor Kurt Petersheim. We had a great time talking about their church’s “Missions Month,” and the service it’s giving both locally and globally. This is an all-access podcast, because we’d love to have everyone in on the conversation.
