Sen. Charles Schumer

• March 4 -- "My
Heroes Have Always Been…" Senate Democratic Leaders?
Sheryl Gay Stolberg, who recently called Democratic Senate leader (and
Limbaugh-basher) Tom Daschle "soft-spoken" and "decent,"
uses a whirlwind gun vote in Congress to spin the liberal leader into a
legislative hero: "When the gunfight--or rather, the fight over
guns--finished in the Senate on Tuesday, it seemed as if Senator Tom Daschle,
the Democratic leader, was the last man standing."

• November 4 -- The
Times and the "C-Word"
A story on Democratic Sen. Schumer's filibusters against Bush nominees goes
crazy with "conservative" labels.
• June 16 -- Sen. Schumer
Non-Scandal Watch
A Times story on Charles Schumer’s 2004 reelection race again fails to
mention the large fines the Federal Election Commission leveled against Schumer
-- an outspoken advocate of campaign-finance reform.
