Schumer Won't Phone Spitzer Until 'The Dust Settles'

Azi Paybarah

Here's Chuck Schumer chatting with Fred Dicker during his radio show in the Capitol building in Albany.

Schumer told Dicker he became closer to Spitzer after he became governor, but has not spoken to him since the scandal broke because he wants to wait until "the dust settles."

When Dicker pressed him on how exactly that dust will settle (with criminal charges? with jail time?), Schumer said he was unsure.

For the time being, I guess the dust is radio-active. I didn't know Three Mile Island was in New York?

Whoops!

Make that the Love Canal in Niagra Falls. It's radio-active and there's lots of dust. Spitzer did spend a lot time at the Love Canal. Wrong Love Canal, though.

I don't know why Schumer can't pick up the phone and at least have a short conversation with Spitzer. "Hi, I know a good criminal lawyer. Bye."

What do you expect from spineless Schumer?? He's a schmuck. You couldn't rely on him for anything, let alone if you're in a crisis that could otherwise 'taint' the precious Chuckie.

Die already Schumer. Third largest state, and this is the best New York can come up with??? A Brooklyn pol, with communist parents, an annoying loud mouth, and a vanity that would shame any woman.

Okay!

You've told us Schumer's admirable, positive qualities. Let's hear the real negative, unflattering qualities. Don't hold back! I want to hear the dirt. No sugar-coating!
