Yesterday Tom D asked me on the site if I thought Andrew Cuomo\u2019s excuses about Italians being so emotionally and physically demonstrative that his good-natured affection was being mistaken for sexual harassment.\u00a0 I assured Tom that Andrew Cuomo was demonstrating that he was a creepy pervert.<\/p>\n
I fully concede that old-time Italian Americans were more likely to hug and kiss family members than their Irish American neighbors were likely to in similar circumstances.\u00a0 But I also assured him that some old man who started groping young women was more than likely to be beaten to a pulp by that girl\u2019s brother or father if he was caught in the neighborhood doing it.\u00a0 And that\u2019s in the US.\u00a0 Back in the old country he\u2019d probably get knifed for his trouble.<\/p>\n
What I consider Andrew Cuomo to be is a cheap bastard.\u00a0 Now that he\u2019s divorced, he appears to be trying to avoid remarriage or some other honorable romantic arrangement by hitting on the poor unfortunate women who have to work for this slime ball.\u00a0 Think about it.\u00a0 He\u2019s the governor of one of the largest, richest states in the US.\u00a0 There are probably a hundred thousand women in the state who would willingly entertain the idea of dating this loser.\u00a0 And in fact, he probably wouldn\u2019t have to spend all that much to do it.\u00a0 He could pass along most of the costs to the state government accounts he already abuses for various purposes.\u00a0 But no.\u00a0 He\u2019s too lazy to even bother looking for women even if it would be like shooting fish in a barrel.\u00a0 So, he perves around these twenty-something assistants and even police officers hoping that one of them is desperate enough to want to have sex with an old, ugly dirtbag who also happens to be the most powerful man in the state.\u00a0 The sad part is that it probably worked on some of them, the ones who won\u2019t come forward now out of embarrassment.<\/p>\n
And now he tries to claim that all this is just the younger generation mistaking avuncular friendliness for decrepit horniness.\u00a0 The funny thing is he may get away with it.\u00a0 The legislature would have to impeach him to get him out of his office.\u00a0 And maybe the Republicans there may think it\u2019s better to leave him in office and run against him in 2022.\u00a0 Wouldn\u2019t that be a bizarre twist.<\/p>\n
Andrew and Chris (Fredo) Cuomo are pretty sad excuses for public figures.\u00a0 Their father Mario Cuomo was just another Democrat machine politician.\u00a0 But he at least could string together a few paragraphs in a way that showed that he was an intelligent man.\u00a0 His sons seem not to have inherited any of his brains.\u00a0 Whenever I see Chris Cuomo on television, I get the impression that someone must have been blackmailed or bribed into hiring him.\u00a0 He has no discernible skills at speaking, thinking or even reading a teleprompter without looking like a deer in the headlights.\u00a0 Andrew is a little less stupid.\u00a0 He is savvy enough to suck up to the proper Democrat power brokers when it will do him the most good.\u00a0 I assume he has been given assistance from his father\u2019s allies and subordinates while moving up the political ladder. \u00a0What happens next should be enlightening and possibly entertaining as the MeToo movement and the Democrat Establishment try to pry the governorship away from Andrew without too much gore.\u00a0 But who knows, Mario may have handed over dossiers on the people Andrew needs to fight.\u00a0 It may just play out in the court of public opinion where it will do the most damage to Cuomo and the Dems.<\/p>\n
So, my verdict is that Creepo and Fredo should be the last generation of Cuomos we\u2019ll have to hear about in the news.\u00a0 And that\u2019s a relief to Italian Americans across the length and breadth of Former America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
