Read the story of how the Cuomo people went "nuclear" on a former state employee by releasing as much damaging information as they could about him for his crime of talking to the press about the state's Sandy response without permission and then ask yourself, how is Andrew Cuomo going to handle a two year presidential campaign without having half a dozen "ferret moments" that expose him as the paranoid, vindictive Nixonian politician he is?
There is no way he or the paranoid, vindictive functionaries around him are going to be able to handle the scrutiny of a presidential campaign without major explosions.
You know, Governor Andy is a petulant little dick.
ReplyDeleteHe really, really is. He's been good about hiding that over the last six years or so, owing to his need to rebrand after the Carl McCall stuff, but he can't change his essential nature. He really is a nasty, nasty person, all ego, with the thinest of skins, and this will not serve him well if he runs for president.
DeleteYes, it will be a pleasure to see him immolate himself in public, while the media gleefully sprays gasoline on him.
ReplyDeleteWhat Churchill said about the Germans applies far more accurately to the media: they're either at your feet or at your throat.
It really will be a pleasure to see that. And it will happen if he decides to run for president. There is no way he will be able to micromanage the press and his image the way he has here in NY over the last six years or so.
DeleteIf it weren't for Carl Paladino being even more crazy and thin skinned we might have been spared little Mario's puerile reign of terror. I sooo look forward to the personal bonfire he's going to make of himself clambering after the White House. And maybe he can take Lil John King on the road to analyze his campaign data alone with his lunch in a dingy room somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI think we would have been better off with Paladino as governor. He was so crazy, nothing he proposed would have gotten passed the Assembly. I guarantee you, APPR would not be in place now were Crazy Carl in power.
DeleteI should add that I never thought Crazy Carl would win. But I figured that if Cuomo did win, we would get some odious policies on taxes, the budget, school policy, etc. And that;s exactly what Little Andy brought us.
