Senator Schumer
The Washington Times is the counterweight to the Washington Post...
In this opinion column the Times editors discuss Senator Schumer, They begin:
"The one thing that hasn't prompted Sen. Chuck Schumer, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, to rush before a camera is his organization's identity-theft scandal. This makes sense, from where he sits. The Democratic media was never interested in the story: The Washington Post buried yesterday's coverage of the plea bargain in its Metro section and the New York Times mentioned it only in passing. Mr. Schumer has been able to duck the story for the six months since it emerged that campaign committee staffers stole the credit report of Lt. Gov. Michael Steele of Maryland in the search for dirt. All this begs questions about the sincerity of Mr. Schumer's pose as the scourge of identity theft -- as well as the lengths to which some Democrats will go to smear Republican candidates."
