Birds of a feather?

From the NY Post:

Andrew Cuomo scored a key endorsement in his campaign against Buffalo businessman Carl Paladino yesterday -- but got caught on an embarrassing video praising scandal-tainted Assemblyman Vito Lopez.

Cuomo was wiping egg off his face after the video surface. It shows him describing beleaguered Brooklyn Democratic boss Lopez as his "good friend."

Cuomo offered the kind words Sunday while seated across from Lopez during a gathering with Hasidic leaders in Williamsburg, according to the video.

"The assemblyman is my good friend," Cuomo said. "We do a lot of good work together."

Cuomo's Attorney General's Office is reviewing Lopez's massive social-services empire in light of two federal investigations into alleged improprieties. Cuomo ran into Lopez at least twice during his Brooklyn campaign swing.

Of course he's his "good friend". They go on fishing trips together, down chug-a-lugs, and are pinochle partners.

Sing along:

"If you're ever in a jam, here I am.
If they ever cook your goose, turn me loose.
If you ever feel so happy you land in jail, I'm your bail

When other friendships have been forgot,
Ours will still be hot."

"Friendship" - Cole Porter

Cuomo II is committed to giving the appearance of reform.

Paladino is committed to a real reform of Albany.

I know who I'm voting for and it's not Cuomo. Too much corruption. You can tell a person's character by the company they keep. I'll take my chances and vote for Palladino. He's a little nuts, but at least we have a shot at change. Things can't get worse than they already are.

I'm not crazy about Cuomo, but I'm also not that crazy about a candidate who is "A little bit nuts". That qualifies you to be a tv commentator. That doesn't qualify you to be Governor of New York State at a time of crisis. Is there an alternative to these guys?

I will vote for the lesser of the two evils. Voting for Paladino would be like drinking the cyanide laced Kool-Aid that Jim Jones put out.

if jim jones and his koolaide drinkers were still alive ,they would be voting for the liberal/democrat/progressive /communist , candidates that they voted for in san francisco.....

your facts are purposely twisted,as all MASTERS OF DECEIT
attempt to foist on the unknowing electorate in a democrat party dictatorship.

remember in november........

Pupa Rebi- my good friend
Vito Lopez- my good friend
Charlie Rangel- my good friend
Andrew Farkis- my good friend
Mort Zuckerman- my good friend
Charles Dolan - my good friend

Too much corruption & hands in laps. I'll take my chances with Palladino, anything, anybody but a Cuomo II.
Its the peoples duty to bust this circle up and toss it the garbage.
They are like dirty diapers festering in a bag

The masters of Deceit are the Limbaughs, Becks, Palins and Hannitys of the world who dish out the right wing kool-aid and expect their sheep to lap it up without thinking.

We will remember in November.

Yeah, I'll remember too! I'll remember to flush the toilet on all the incumbents and start with fresh water.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Elected Officials. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

Just because someone is saying something that doesn't conform with your view of the world deosn't mean that they are deceiving someone. Rush Limbaugh today said that he didn't know of any Republican attacking President Obama. Who is deceiving who?

Anonymous said...

do you know why they (cnn) do not buy advertising on "AIR AMERICA" ,the leftwing radio talk show hosted by the former SNL so-called comedian?

The only former so-called SNL comedian I know is Dennis Miller, who is about as funny as an attack of appendicitis.

He's on Fox News, usually. They're pretty funny.

I think he's talking about Janeane Garofalo.

the snl schmuck is now a U.S.senator from Minn.. he did the Stuart Smalley bit of crap on SNL . another liberal,democrat,progressive. the reports say that the s.e.i.u. used possibly criminal tactics to find votes a few months after the election in 2008.

Anonymous said...

Of course they did. You're funny than Dennis Miller and Victoria Jackson (another... uuummmm..."talented comedian") combined.

In other words, your guy lost and our guy won.

Queens Crapper said...

Yes, because we all know there's never any cheating in politics. Only in Florida in 2000.

The day that there's no cheating in politics - by either side - is the day we should be watching out for flying pigs and whistling shrimp.
