Even as a composite? Might it not be fake, but accurate? Performative authenticity?

When you've lost John Oliver...
I’m at fault. I saw the post pics and thought this is about the Three Stooges.
My bad.
Jesus that’s fuckin’ creepy…
This is so lazy. It is insane.
There has to be some couple that actually exists who would volunteer to be his example.
How stupid does Schumer think Democrat voters are? He knew this would be caught and he thinks they will continue to support them.
It is just absurd for every angle you look at it.
Sure, now John Oliver outs Chuck Schumer. At the exact same moment, every Democrat has their knives out for Chcuk. How long did he and other dams know about this?
There are the numerous similar tales by Joe Biden regarding real people but events that never happened, and that's not even counting the multiple plagiarisms and fabricated resume'.
I'm thinking there is a back room test where you have to lie to a certain level of dishonesty to become a Democrat nominee for office - a kind of initiation ceremony. Then you just run with it the rest of your career. People around you know you are lying and they play along to be included in the grift. What a country! What a party! What a system!
"How stupid does Schumer think Democrat voters are?"
I'm betting he knows.
Plausible, but improbable.
fake applies to John Oliver as much as to Schumer, but we knew that when 1600-scoring SAT taker Schumer tried to fake us over his patriotism by putting cheese slices on raw beef patties.
This may well be an elaborate setup to garner sympathy for Schumer. After a week or two of social media foldererole don't be surprised by the "Baileys" surfacing to confirm their existence and relationship to Schumer, though they may reveal a pseudonym has been in operation to protect "their privacy", or something along those lines.
Never trust a late-night leftist talker. Everything they say is tinged with mendacity.
"How stupid does Schumer think Democrat voters are?"
Knowing exactly how stupid they are has served him well, and few if any will change their mind. That's how stupid.
Too bad the Long Island couple isn't real, and Chuckles is just a figment of their imagination that they have been pranking their friends with over the years.
Joe Biden
The composite and cartoon ads are a fetus... feature of DEIst ideologies that emphatically perceive persons, people, and our Posterity in color and class blocs. It is a politically congruent construct, a virtual signal to garner virtue.
“The claim that Senator Chuck Schumer scored a perfect 1600 on his SATs in the mid-1960s is widely reported but lacks definitive primary sources.”
“Sources like isteve.blogspot.com and unz.com note that single-sitting 1600s were extremely rare in the 1960s, with possibly only single-digit or low double-digit students achieving this annually nationwide. These sources question the claim’s veracity.”
He was Valedictorian and worked for Stanley Kaplan’s test-prep business during high school which maybe makes the claim more believable.

And he would be right. He could shoot someone and not loose any voters.
“ Joe Biden”
Oh, yeah… Corn Pop!
He's been talking about the Baileys throughout the years, but when confronted for details, he can switch to a story about their neighbors, the Motts.
Habitual lying emanates from a conviction that your listeners don't deserve the truth, and then reinforces that belief as the habitual liar sees his lies work over and over again. Let me hazard a guess about Schumer's fabulism. At about age 16, Schumer started to hear from adults that he was some kind of genius, and he began to agree. Surrounded by his inferiors, he embarked upon a life characterized by outmaneuvering and outsmarting those around him. These untermenschen had no real right to Chuck's loyalty, and in any case needed to hear the messages that would enable Chuck to achieve the highest possible good.
A similar psychology animated Bill Clinton.
It wasn’t authentic?
He created his own talking point (using a made up couple) - which took the spotlight off of himself. Is this a big deal? Not really.
Of all the Dems lies - this one is pretty low on the scale.
Democratics will lie about anything.
Oliver is another lying liar who lies - so who is really lying?
Schumer made up a moderate couple.
That couple - by today's standards - is a radical rightwing Nazi racist!!!!!
I mean come on - the Bailey's do not like illegal immigration and flag burning. What Nazi freaks!
Was Mr Bailey’s first name “George” by any chance?
Joe Bailey is the guy who showed Chuck how to grill a cheese burger.
Corrupt leftist (pardon the redundancy) DA Mike Nifong was elected by trying to prosecute rapists that didn't exist...
According to my sources, Chuck hit on Joe's wife.
when you've lost your imaginary friends..
you've lost America
Some people say, that the Democrats are delusional..
Other people.. ARE delusional
I think people already knew they were a fake construct back in 2007.
They sound like fairly sensible people.
I'm shocked I tell ya, to find that politicians lie. Wasn't chuckie one of Heidi fleiss regulars? did he talk to her about his imaginary friends too?
the current crop of dems is absolutely pathetic, lying stealing bastards, the whole lot. followed closely by the Republicans.
If you actually existed as a Bailey, and you voted at least once for Donald Trump, and you knew Chuckie well enough to know what Chuckie has said about Donald Trump--would you talk to him? Or would you punch him in the face?
Best non-example of this is Malarkey Biden's stories about a man named "Cornpop." It sounded like just another story he'd made up, but reporters were able to find an obituary for a man nicknamed Cornpop, making it possible that Biden was, astonishingly, telling a true story. Or at least something that had in fact happened to someone, given his famous habit of plagiarising from other peoples' biographies.
The Cornpop incident was real. Or at least that's what MLK said.
Would you believe it... three dudes with rusty razors? Three!
What about 1 dude with a sharp knife?
What about a six year old with a safety pin?
Joe Biden as Get Smart.
I think the point has been missed, which of course John Oliver did not highlight, Chuck Schumer did present the Baileys as fictional in his book about how the Democrats won the 2006 election.
Here’s The New Yorker from March 2007:
‘Schumer says that he is accompanied everywhere he goes by two imaginary middle-class friends, who advise him on all manner of middle-class concerns. Their names, until recently, were Joe and Eileen O’Reilly. “For the book’s sake, we wanted them to be more national,” Schumer said, “so they became the Baileys.”’
The political thinking of Eileen and Joe Bailey is not so very different from Althouse and Meade. They became Trump voters, if you follow Schumer’s narrative.
Can you be an authentic liar and senile goof ball? Because Joe Biden was. No one, who paid attention, can say they were conned by Joe Biden. Or say he was fake.
He was an authentic teller of tall tales. Fake, but accurate.
A man who can grill like Chuck Schumer can't be a fake.
