Oh, the irony of it all

Sen. Chuck Schumer is skeptical of "smart cards," credit cards that "record a transaction by waving the card near a terminal without a swipe or signature," reports AM New York:

"These cards may be convenient but they're a double-edged sword because thieves can use the technology, steal your identity, and use your credit number and name, and go on a shopping spree at your expense," Schumer said.

Chuckie has "hands-on" experience when it comes to credit issues. To my knowledge, Schumer never apologized to Michael Steele when his staffers stole Steele's credit report.
