John Oliver Roasts Schumer for Decades of Stories About Fictional New Yorkers Named ‘the Baileys’

EXCERPT:

OLIVER: “The Baileys have guided Chuck Schumer's political life, which is a little weird given they don't exist. (Laughter) Seriously, he invented them. Schumer first introduced the world to the Baileys in his 2007 book, 'Positively American,' winning back the middle-class majority one family at a time. In it, he mentions the Baileys an astonishing 265 times in 264 pages. (Laughter) But he'd apparently been talking about them for years before the book was published. One of his former spokespeople said he's always asking, what would the Baileys think? And, to be fair, Schumer acknowledges that some may find this a little weird.”
