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

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

Great speech by President Schumer

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

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
