Cuomo: I’m as responsible for Silver as Obama is for Weiner (what??)

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he can’t be blamed for the corruption charges that prompted state Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver to resign any more than President Barack Obama can be blamed for former Rep. Anthony Weiner’s sexting scandal. […]

He defends his decision to disband a commission investigating government corruption, saying in exchange lawmakers passed modest ethics reforms and prosecutors obtained the commission’s files anyway. …

Hmmmm...

It took Cuomo a long time to comment on this. No doubt his lawyers have been "huddling" for weeks to come up with a strategy.

And BTW. A low life rep punk doing sexual perversions is a little different that a long term Speaker defrauding taxpayers.

This is the democrats typical defense - THE OTHER GUY DID IT TOO!

Obama: “Muslims are justified in burning innocent people alive because I believe Christians were mean to muslims 1,000 years ago.”

Cuomo: “I’m not responsible for my criminal pal who got caught because Obama is a democrat and The Weiner is a democrat too.
And The Weiner got caught for being a sexual pervert and an idiot so that proves I’m innocent”

P.J. O’Rourke has identified the problem:

“At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child - miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill disciplined, despotic, and useless.

Liberalism is the philosophy of sniveling brats.”

I reject the entire premise of this.

In 2006. During the Mark Foley male congressional page scandal, Nancy P. Charged that then speaker Dennis Hastert did not supervise his GOP colleagues, and that there was a culture of corruption in the GOP.

So to the contrary, Mr. Cuomo, if Dennis Hastert was to blame for not knowing about Mark Foley And sexual situations with male pages, then YOU are responsible for not keeping tabs on Sheldon Silver. Using Nancy Pelosi criteria, YOU are accountable.

“...the philosophy of sniveling brats.”

Governor Cuomo IS far more responsible for the excesses of Sheldon Silver than he is about to admit, first for lack of oversight, then for failing to come out with a strongly worded and revealing statement about the breadth and intensity of the developing scandal, which also includes that other New York phony, Bill De Blasio, definitely a total waste of human protoplasm.

Olog-hai: “Prince” Andrew should be locked up alongside Silver."

I think the FEDs are looking into the possibility of Silver and Cuomo taking funds from the realtors of NYC.
It seems that rent subsidy's (dating back to the '60s) are the motivator for political favoritism, and tax relief .
The fact that Cuomo ended the Moreland (ethics)Commission looking into fund raiseing got terminated as they drew closer to Cuomo's contributors, looks bad for the machine.
Pray that Cuomo is forced to step down .

I suppose this might make sense to one who is used to having everything his way, and (as a result) is slightly retarded.

Stupidity and gross incompetence are not a crime.

Where incompetence is, illegality follows.

Cuomo clearly believes he belongs in jail.

Otherwise he wouldn’t be protesting so much.

Just superimpose Cuomo's face, and you'll get my message.
