Update: I saw the interview on the Daily Show. It seems that Schumer’s imaginary friends are just a fictional couple he uses as an example in his book. The problem lies with Schumer’s handlers, who must not have done a good job explaining to Chuck why exactly “imaginary friends” may not be the right term.
Chuck seems rather oblivious to all of this. I love his horrendous smile. It makes me cringe every time.
The rest of my earlier defense of New Yorkers after the jump.
Who we elect
December 13, 2006
It’s nice to know politicos dealing with national security issues have a strong grasp of the situation in Iraq.
It’s hardly the way Rep. Silvestre Reyes (D-Texas) wanted to ascend to the chairmanship of the influential House Intelligence Committee.
But the world of bloggers buzzed and critics flapped Tuesday about a botched pop quiz that raised questions about Reyes’ understanding of al-Qaida and other Islamic extremists.
Maybe the government can throw together another bi-partisan study group to guess how many Americans do know whether bin Laden is a Sunni or Shiite.
