Sen. Chuck Schumer’s office didn’t miss the irony in this one. Here’s the lead of today’s press release, which also uses the term “odd couple” in its headline:
In a rare pairing, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer and Governor Sarah Palin earned honors as “Heroes of the Year” in the Field and Stream Magazine 2008 Heroes & Villains List, while tough guy Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was listed as a “Villain.” Schumer garnered the nation’s leading outdoor magazine’s award for pushing a plan with Senator Kent Conrad to provide millions in outdoor recreation grants to landowners who allow hunting and fishing on their land. Hunters in New York and elsewhere have been greatly restricted by poor access to available hunting land. Governor Sarah Palin was lauded for being the first true hunter to run for executive office since Teddy Roosevelt, according to the magazine.
