Thread Name: BS: Schumer on CNN, the new Potatoe?
Subject: BS: Schumer on CNN, the new Potatoe?
The new king of misspeak is Chuck Schumer, yesterday on CNN. The good senator avers that the government is made up of three branches...a House, a Senate, and a President. Hmmm, he as member of the government ought to know what every kid who has had a Civics course knows: we do have three branches of government, but he has divided the legislative branch, and left out the the Judiciary altogether.

If I thought like a liberal, say a Maddow or an Olbermann or..., I would opine that he knows so little about the government, or is just so plain stupid that he doesn't deserve to to hold his office. That's the type of calumny I've heard about conservatives over the years.

Let's go to the tape (as they used to say on sports show):
