CHUCK SCHUMER PULLS TEA-BAGGER CARD

Chuck Schumer was present at the ACORN birthday party a few months back, he called a flight attendant a "bi***" when she asked him to turn off his taxpayer-funded blackberry, and now he is calling the Republican senatorial candidate in the Massachusetts senate race a "Tea-bagger".

FOX News reports:

New York Sen. Charles Schumer, who famously hammered then-Sen. Alfonse D'Amato for calling him a "putz-head" in their hot 1998 campaign, was accused Thursday of stepping into the gutter himself after he sent out a fundraising e-mail in which he called Massachusetts Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown a "far-right tea-bagger."

The two-term Democrat, in accusing Brown of being aligned with the conservative "tea party" movement, used a term that every tea party critic knows refers to a sexual act.

"Chuck has a way of saying things that I don't think he really understands or means, and it's unfortunate," Brown told Fox News Thursday when asked about the e-mail. "I'm not into name-calling. ... so shame on Chuck."

Here is the money quote from Schumer's email:

"Martha Coakley is running to fill the rest of Ted Kennedy's term, and her opponent is a far-right tea-bagger Republican."
