Senator Chuck Schumer: I’m Sorry My Flight Attendant Was a “Bitch” (I Mean for Calling Her a Bitch)Senator
Dec 17th, 2009 | By Jared BlankSenator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) apologized yesterday for calling a US Airways flight attendant a “bitch” after she asked him to end his cellphone conversation prior to takeoff on a Shuttle flight from LaGuardia to Washington. His seatmate, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) originally said that Schumer had been polite the entire time. But then it turns out that calling someone a bitch is not polite, so she has backed away from that statement.
According to the NY Post (take this with a grain of salt), Schumer has a reputation for being “not nice” among flight attendants.
