Politico leaves out Schumer's big gaffe

The problem is, Charles Schumer said we have 3 branches of government--the House, the Senate and the Presidency. If you watch the entire video you hear it; if you read Politico, that part is left out.

"I would urge my Republican colleagues that no matter how strongly they feel [insert gaffe here, you know, we have three branches of government. We have a House. We have a Senate. We have a president. And all three of us are going to have to come together and give some] … it is playing with fire to risk the shutting down of the government just as it is playing with fire to not raise the debt ceiling," Schumer said. "That could lead to terrible, terrible problems."

Here's how it works, Chuck:

My own response to Schumer's Civics Fail was shorter:

What a maroon.

It's the most appropriate response I could imagine to such an idiot.

Any person who's been a U.S. Senator since 1999 (elected 1998) and doesn't have the three branches of government so deeply embedded that such a gaffe is simply impossible, just hasn't been paying attention.

And I'm still left to wonder what's Politico's point in ignoring it. Oh never mind. . .
