Video: Sen Chuck U Schumer's Niece Tells Racist Joke at Sheen Roast.

The only reason to bring this up of course is not to point out that Schumer's niece is racist (no indication that she is. This is after all comedy), but rather that the media would be going banana's if this exact same thing would be said by Sarah Palin's nieces or daughters, or those of Michele Bachmann:

NYT: Obama, Dems try to salvage Jewish vote

Gee - what could have possibly gone wrong? couldn't be anything to do with the Israel-hating Obama trying to give the Palestinians more than even they ask for, is it? It's a pretty high bar for self-hating Jews to turn from their wicked ways for a short spell. Over at drudge:

Weiner's seat was lost in a 3-1 Democratic district that was held by Democrats since before the 1930s. Panic ensued. Shmucky laid an egg in the aftermath, going Helen Thomas: Chuck Schumer: NY-9 is just too darn Jewish for Democrats now

Earlier today, Ed Morrissey pointed out what could have been a record breaking attempt at spinning a loss in New York’s 9th congressional district by DNC chair Debby Wasserman Schultz. It was an heroic effort, I’ll admit, and one for the ages. But never to be outdone, former holder of the 9th district seat and current Empire State Senator Chuck Schumer may have managed to top her.

Why did the Democrats lose this race in a part of town where they hold a 3-1 registration advantage? Well, at least in part, because the district has just become too darned Jewish.

After canceling his own conference call (on getting federal disaster aid for flood-ravaged NY farmers), Sen. Chuck Schumer teamed up with DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz to push back against the GOP spin that Congressman-elect Bob Turner’s upset win in NY-9 spells bad news at the national level for Democrats, and President Obama in particular.

Schumer, who represented NY-9 for 18 years, insisted the district is about 75 percent the same today, geographically speaking, as it was when he was in office, but drastically different when it comes to demographics. There are more Orthodox Jews, he said, and also more immigrants, making the district skew even more conservative than it had been back in his day…

Well that ought to help in the future! 

Wasserman-Schultz, a Florida Jew, also predicted Obama – and the Democrats in general – “have consistently received the Jewish vote and will again” due to the president’s “strong record” on Israel and other issues Jewish voters care about.

Obama's “strong record” on Israel? Even Clinton had this reaction:

Howard sent show writers Richard and Sal to NY Fashion week for some man on the street interviews. The result was shocking. Or is it?
