Sen. Charles Schumer was in the newspapers this morning, and not because of one of his regular press conferences.

Politico reported yesterday Schumer called a flight attendant the “B-word” when she asked him to shut off his phone as the flight was ready to leave. Schumer, who was seated next to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, apologized and later called the flight attendant to do the same.

The phone apparently rang again after the attendant had told Schumer to shut it off and he reportedly responded, “It’s Harry Reid calling, I guess health care will have to wait until we land.”

The New York Post reported Schumer has a history of being “plane aggressive.” In an editorial, the paper also knocked Gillibrand over it.
