Senate Minority Leader Schumer had better pull a rabbit out of his hat, or his political career is over, and rightly so. In the unlikely event that he does, indeed, find such a long-eared lagomorph, I will be the first to prostrate myself in abject apology for doubting him, but I'm not holding my breath.
