Shhhhhhhhh. I’m listening for all the mea culpas, the abject apologies from media, politicians and moronic members of the general populace who were pushing Andrew Cuomo for sainthood.
Where’s lightweight brother “Fredo” Chris Cuomo, the CNN shill for his brother, now that Andrew has announced he will resign – finally – as governor of New York? Fredo is on vacation, a bit of convenient timing.
But what of the other Andrew Cuomo apologists who ignored his misguided COVID-19 nursing home policy, and gave similar short shrift to a lengthy list of females who had accused Andrew of creepy sexual harassment?
How about the cretins who broke tradition (read rules) and got him an Emmy for COVID-19 briefings that were mostly exercises in self-congratulation and blame shifting?
This tinpot dictator can’t even exit the stage without giving himself a 14-day curtain call. His resignation announcement was short on taking responsibility and long on blowing his own horn.
It wasn’t that long ago that a poll found that more than 50 percent of Hollywood types identified themselves as Cuomosexuals, a fawning tribute to a man with feet of clay.
There was talk of Cuomo hopping into the presidential fray in the next election cycle since it’s obvious current officeholder Joe Biden is unlikely even to remember who he is by then, not that this isn’t already a problem.
The only negative to this day is that there aren’t a lot of other prominent Democrats — or Republicans for that matter — with glaring shortcomings similar to Andrew Cuomo’s also being shoved out of the public spotlight.
No doubt Cuomo will land on his feed. Is that CNN on line 2? Maybe MSNBC? There will be other books to be written, corporate boards to be served upon. Maybe he will start up one of those questionable foundations to keep his name in the spotlight.
Bottom line, Andrew Cuomo’s shortcomings appear to go well beyond his admitted penchant for kissing and hugging, which he took great pains to document with an 86-page response to an investigation into his behavior. Only 26 of those pages were text. The rest were collages of Cuomo kissing and hugging men and women.
As some have noted, it’s an interesting defense to sexual harassment allegations for a person to say, in effect, that it’s just something that he does, a lot.
Now that Cuomo no longer will be burdened by those pesky governor duties, he’s free to devote full time to his favorite avocation.
Good luck with that, Andrew. Say hi to Fredo for us.
