Interesting that Gillibrand found the remark polite. It would have been outrageous coming from a Republican. But don't look for the media to make anything out of this. Liberal Democrats can say and do whatever they want. Ideology trumps everything with these jerks.
When the flight attendant walked away, the witness says Schumer turned to Gillibrand and uttered the B-word.
“The senator made an off-the-cuff comment under his breath that he shouldn’t have made, and he regrets it,” Schumer spokesman Brian Fallon told Shenanigans.


And he regrets being overheard. Bustard!

Let's be honest - how many of us have never uttered an intemperate word about a flight attendant? In this particular case, though, Schumer's remark was far more self-descriptive. Never mind the deep and delicious irony of a congresscritter bitching about the effects of government regulation...

Here you are making a mountain out of a molehill over something a Democrat said—and she probably was a bitch—while complaining about how other people allow ideology to trump everything. And you throw in a whiny, "if a Republican had done it . . ."
Conservatives are the biggest babies in the world.

A majority of the people of New York state cast a vote that they shouldn't have cast for this miserable human being.
I wonder how many of them regret it.

Before you preens the Lesser Schumer,
Squawking species of the Boomer.
It roosts on polls, and none too sturdy;
Restive crowds doth flip the birdie.

Reminds me of the AHO I once met on the gold course that wanted to play through everyone hole after hole course just because he was a doctor.

My apologies to used car salesmen everywhere, but I wouldn't buy a used car from that long nosed slick head if I really needed one.
I sympathize with used car salesmen because I WAS one many years ago.
