Schumer Fouls Out

Chuck Schumer is perhaps my favorite U.S. Senator because of his endless capacity to make me laugh.  He often reminds me of Inspector Clouseau, the earnest but bumbling detective from the Pink Panther movies.

Through an excellent post by Scott Lincome today, I learned not only that official NBA jerseys (those worn by the players) are made for Adidas in upstate New York, but that Senator Schumer is attempting to thwart the company's decision to move production to Thailand. 

I share Scott's assessment of the absurdity of Schumer's efforts, but more importantly, I wanted to share this humorous footage of Schumer's awkward nativist appeal that basketball is an American-centric game....conducted in front of German-born NBA Star Dirk Nowitski's jersey. 

Classic!
