The space shuttle Enterprise is coming to New York - unless a group of lawmakers get their way.

A peeved Utah Congressman, joined by a bunch of poor-loser Texans, is mounting a campaign to yank the NASA shuttle Enterprise from the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) pushed a bill that would reshuffle the deck on where the four retired space shuttles will go.

Under his plan, New York's loss would be Houston's gain.

"I am seeking to restore common sense and fairness to the Space Shuttle retirement home debate," Chaffetz said. "Instead of relying on political guidance systems, these decisions must be steered by history and logic."

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) had this reply: "Fughgeddaboutit."

"When people from Paris, Beijing, Tokyo and Amsterdam start saying they want to go to Houston, maybe then they'll get a shuttle," Schumer told the Daily News. "I'd say to Texas, don't mess with New York."
