Politicians might think that Washington D.C. is the one place in the world where they are the celebrity, however star of Jersey Shore, Nicole “Snooki” Politzzi proved that entertainment figures will always draw a larger crowd than a politician. New York Democrat Senator Charles Schumer learned this after Snooki snubbed him at Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. Yet in Snooki’s defense, she probably had no clue who he was, or for that matter, even what a “senator” does.

The fans and photographers surrounding Snooki tried to tell her that Schumer was waiting for her, and you can even see Schumer waving. However, Snooki could not be bothered with such information, and instead focused on signing autographs and saying she parties differently than Charlie Sheen.

When Schumer was asked for his thoughts about Jersey Shore filming the next season in Italy, he responded that he wished they were filming in New York, apparently hopeful that some day in the future he might cross paths with Snooki again. Although on second thought, since Snooki is a huge fan of Republican Senator John McCain, maybe she ignored Schumer because she did know who he was?

I’ll bet Schumer would never have allowed her to get away with the snub if he thought she was holding a TV camera!

Ugh…..what is up with Mediaite staffers not editing enough before posting. Too many commas are used and the following misspelling occurs:

“and you can even see Schumer waiving.”

Jersey Shore’s ratings > Senator Schumer’s ratings

The real question is, why was Schumer wasting his time on Snooki?

Clearly because he doesn’t care about health care or other legislation.

I’m certain Democratic NY Senator Charles Schumer will find a reason to go on living,. I certainly hope so.
Never realized she’s a Republican. I ‘m just hoping she learns to handle her drinking significantly better.

I am pretty sure Schumer was going to try to teach Snooki what the three branches of government are….

You Know, the Senate, the House, and the president!

I”ll admit that I have watched and even liked Jersey Shore. I get it. I do. But to see Snooki treated like she matters and Sen. Schumer completely ignored is beyond sad.

I don’t blame her, I would ignor him too!

Schumer has nothing more than anyone else, except he gets to spend other peoples money and he is pretty bad at that.

No Dan, what’s beyond sad is that Chuck doesn’t know what the 3 branches of gov’t are and the media ignored it, per usual. Seriously, you have to be a little bit embarrassed by your profession.

If I could get your opinion Dan, how many newcasts do you think would’ve led with the story if it had been Palin or Bachmann? I’d love your thoughts as a “respected” newsperson.
