only.

LOL the 3-legged cat story.

he's a man from a different time than his admins. if i worked for him in executive capacity and he hit on me? i'd date him in a hearbeat because we are of the same time and what he is alleged to have done? was different in his time as it was creepy for those girls. he's 63, single and a Governor, he's not going to Match.com..he's going to do what busy professionals have done in the past- look inward.

it's way different at the very top with those men.

we owe a great debt to this man.
It doesn't matter what was considered acceptable in the past. He wasn't hitting on women his age. He was going after women the age of his granddaughter. Cuomo is being judged according to today's standards. Cradle robbing is creepy to me, maybe to others as well. Also, being the boss does not empower him to raid the cradle either. Investigations are underway, which is completely appropriate at this time. At the end of it all, it's up to the NY electorate to decide what to do.

As a distant observer, the things I've read about Cuomo aren't exactly stellar. Despite the renown he's gotten, from reports I've read, he botched the early days of the epidemic and now some sort of cover up is reported in NY's nursing homes.

Cuomo and de Blasio come off as narcissistic bumblers in this article:


Seattle’s Leaders Let Scientists Take the Lead. New York’s Did Not

The initial coronavirus outbreaks in New York City emerged at roughly the same time as those in Seattle. But the cities’ experiences with the disease have markedly differed. By the second week of April, Washington State had roughly one recorded fatality per fourteen thousand residents. New York’s rate of death was nearly six times higher

On the day that Seattle schools closed, de Blasio said at a press conference that “if you are not sick, if you are not in the vulnerable category, you should be going about your life.” Cuomo, meanwhile, had told reporters that “we should relax.” He said that most infected people would recover with few problems, adding, “We don’t even think it’s going to be as bad as it was in other countries.”

De Blasio’s and Cuomo’s instincts are understandable. A political leader’s job, in most situations, is to ease citizens’ fears and buoy the economy. During a pandemic, however, all those imperatives are reversed: a politician’s job is to inflame our paranoia, because waiting until we can see the danger means holding off until it’s too late. The city’s epidemiologists were horrified by the comforting messages that de Blasio and Cuomo kept giving. Jeffrey Shaman, a disease modeller at Columbia, said, “All you had to do was look at the West Coast, and you knew it was coming for us. That’s why Seattle and San Francisco and Portland were shutting things down.” But New York “dithered instead of telling people to stay home.”


NY state (excluding NY City): 165 Covid deaths/100,000
NY City: 350 Covid deaths/100,000
WA state: 65 Covid deaths/100,000

I'm OK if Cuomo gets taken down due to either or both of these scandals. It's not my call, but I'd be just fine with that.

If NY managed the epidemic like WA had, thousands more would be getting the vaccine about now.

I did not read 6 pages, but. . . . . Electorally, the best thing he can do is not say if when he's pretending to apologize. Then say he was just trying to get laid.

Just think of all the competant people outthere that could outperfom so many of these MFN clowns but don't want to put their loved ones thru the meatgrinder of modern day politics. I've always been super impressed by Leon Panetta, a honorable,smart,decent man with excellent experience,dignity,and comportment. This country would be in very good hands if he was at the helm.ccguns

It’s worth mentioning these alleged events didn’t happen 25 years ago. They happened after the appearance of the MeToo movement. Apparently the Governor wasn’t paying attention when he took the sexual harassment course.

If these allegations are true, they not only display Cuomo’s creepiness and obvious lack of respect for female staff, they display his exceptionally poor judgement. Not a good quality for a Governor.

If he did what he’s been accused of, he should resign immediately, IMO.
