This is doubtless the highlight of Sen. Schumer's career right here—

He also apparently loves the sound of his own voice. And domes.

Unfortunately, Schumer didn’t go for the shorter thing during his endless Inauguration remarks.
.Schumer begs the Nation: Finish our half-finished domes! End despair, anxiety with finished domes! #inauguration—

After Schumer, I will need no more lofty thoughts today. #inaug2013 #imgood—

Constitutionally, 3 more minutes talking & he's technically the president. RT @rkref: Schumer will not give up the mic—

Chuck Schumer has never met a microphone or camera he didn't fall in love with.—

Schumer clearly thought this was a newsless Sunday in Manhattan.—

Curious, did Schumer have this gig before he agreed to vote for Hagel?—

Forgive the cynicism re Schumer, who we all know is above such quid pro quo. It's just that he's such an inspiring speaker.—

Heh. And a protip for future event planners.
Chuck Schumer usually speaks at the end of ceremonies to help clear people out faster. #inaguration2013—
