Patterico proposes the "Chuckie S. Drinking Game" (hey, I don't think I have that kind of stamina!) after he took a look at Schumer's opening statement yesterday. Patterico proposes taking a drink every time Sen. Chuck Schumer says "extreme," which is why I don't think I would be able to make it to the end of the game before passing out.
Now, I only account for four "extreme"s in this statement, but from the length of the excerpt, I wouldn't think that it would take much more than about 5 minutes to read aloud. Almost an "extreme-a-minute." Yup, I'd be pretty buzzed in no time! So, I think I'll pass on the game.
Nevertheless, I noticed one interesting little quote from Sen. Schumer:
In case after case after case, you give the impression of applying careful legal reasoning, but too many times you happen to reach most conservative result.You give the impression of being a meticulous legal navigator, but, in the end, you always seem to chart a rightward course.
I don't suppose Sen. Schumer has thought of the possibility that "careful legal reasoning" would naturally "chart a rightward course"?
Naaah, that would presume that Sen. Schumer actually thinks...
