WFP/Cuomo summary: Cuomo gets line, will do a video rather than show up, de Blasio coming to speak soon, Teachout won't rule out Dem primary

Heard earlier from Kos that
Cuomo having to kiss Bill de Blasio's butt in public, along that of the WFP. That base humiliation alone might be worth the price of admission.
Not much base humiliation in recording a video in his backyard and having it replayed at the WFP convention.
Of course Andy couldn't make it because Sandra Lee had just made dinner and I dunno if you've had her baked macaroni and cheese, the kind with the breadcrumbs on top, but it is just delicious and Andy didn't want to run up to Albany and miss all that yummy yummy dinner...
What a joke the Working Families Party is.
Should rename the party Whitney Tilson's Family's Party.
I'm not normally a "the fix is in / the game is rigged" kind of person, but goddamn this is depressing.
ReplyDeleteThe fix was definitely in. And yet, because WFP needs the activists, a lot of this is playing out in public. In that sense, at least we get to see the machinations that went into the "fix".
DeleteWhat a depressing political disaster for actual \working families! Cuomoccio will continue renege, wiesel and betray the working poor in order to enrich his hedge fund friends, Eva Moskowitz and anyone with enough money who just needs a deal done. When the leaders of the Working Party caved in to Cuomo;s bullying, they forfeited any claim to responsibility on behalf of working families. They have encouraged more bullying by our reptilian deformed governor. This matter needs to be referred to Preet Bahara for another avenue of criminal investigation against Cuomo.
