Chuck Schumer Gets Media Shy?

[DonViejo]

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) “raised his hand to stop questions Tuesday when a Post reporter asked for his position on the Iran nuclear deal,” the New York Post reports.

“Approached in the basement of the Senate, New York’s senior senator — who is almost always available to the press — refused to answer where he stands on the agreement.”

1. I think we pretty much know where he stands

He doesn't need to say a word.

2. And where he wants to stand...

On the edge of a crater formerly known as Tehran, rocking out with his cock out.

5. With his dapper pin stripe suited cock I would add....... Pure speculation on my part, but still. nt

3. He's hiding from liberal advocacy groups. He's voting against the Iran deal

because he wants war with Iran, just like he wanted war with Iraq.

When it comes to foreign policy, Schumer is no different than Bill Kristol or Paul Wolfowitz.

4. Schumer is likely refusing to answer because the fate of the deal is uncertain.

And it isn't in his interest to take a public position yet.

6. Or he has a conflict of interests - one interest is his advancement to Majority (Minority) leader

the other is to Israel.

It is good news that he is not already out adding his voice, which is a strong one, to the defeat the deal chorus.

7. The problem with Schumer is that

as future leader of the Dems in the Senate he might
swing many votes. He knows where the progressive
group stands, and may just be hedging his bets.
