Shumer and Tough Actually Used in Same Sentence

State Comptroller Alan Hevesi issues a mea culpa:

... a contrite Hevesi repeated what he recalled saying in the speech. The comptroller said he was merely trying to convey that Schumer has strength and courage to stand up to the president on major policy issues.

According to a videotape of the speech, Hevesi said:

"The man who, how do I phrase this diplomatically, who will put a bullet between the president's eyes if he could get away with it. The toughest senator, the best representative. A great, great member of the Congress of the United States."

Man, I just love when politicians say something really stupid. Fortnately for me, more times than not they are Democrats.
