I am impressed! Chuck Schumer aced his SAT'S

[Maraya1969]

Schumer was born in Brooklyn to a Jewish family. His parents were Selma Rosen and Abraham Schumer.<3> He attended public schools in Brooklyn, scoring a 1600 on the SAT, and graduated as the valedictorian from James Madison High School in 1967.<4> Schumer competed for Madison on the It's Academic television quiz show.<5>

1. Yes, he has demonstrated impressive lucidity.

Wish he hadn't voted for the damn war.

2. DAMN

he beat me by 40

bastard!

[wilt the stilt]

5. 1600

was less common than today. I don't know your age but when Chuck and I went to school no one studied for the SAT's. We just went in and took them. They also have changed how they are graded today.

9. yeah, we didn't practice or anything

just showed up

i'm three years older than Schumer

[wilt the stilt]

12. wow

you are really old. also Chuck graduated at 16. Lot's of kids skipped grades in NY then. I am surprised he didn't go to Stuyvesant HS.

3. I didn't know that, but all you have to do is listen to him interrogating

a hearing witness or listen to his interviews and you will know he's not only intelligent and VERY fast on his feet!

4. My Ex Did That

Went on to get a PhD from Yale.

6. He came to my Eagle Scout ceremony.

I'm still impressed by that.

[proud patriot]

7. He's been very impressive in the Senate as well

8. Schumer did an outstanding job with Gonzales, but whenever I see him

I think of that old joke:
Q - Where's the most dangerous place to stand, in Washington?
A - Between Chuck Schumer and a camera.

10. I thought that was Joe Biden and a microphone!

:rofl:

[valerief]

11. Nah, it's Vitter and a diaper. nt

13. Hey! He graduated HS the same year I did!

I, however, did NOT ace my SATS.
