Hey, Cuomo, stand up and fight.
Im talking to Andrew Cuomo, the attorney general of New York.
Stand up and fight.
For the last two weeks, as the Caroline Kennedy coronation has been going on, the man whose career she is destroying has been silent.
Its as if he fell off the face of the earth.
The story is that Caroline Kennedy has announced that she wants to be a U.S. senator from New York. She has no experience, no preparation, no training. She has never stood before the voters. She has never even visited vast stretches of the state she wants to represent.
And yet the seat is about to be handed to her on a silver platter.
Because she is related to one president, and backed another.
Of course, for all this to happen, the governor who will appoint her and the party that will support her must completely betray the sitting attorney general. In New York politics, it seems Massachusetts royalty trumps New York royalty.
In a game where all the participants the governor, the attorney general and the wannabe rose to prominence on the power of their fathers name, the one who has actually in his own right faced the voters of the state is nowhere to be seen.
Andrew Cuomo has been thrown under the bus and somehow he thinks he has to stay there.
Which is too bad, because he might actually do a good job.
Dont misunderstand. I am not a Cuomo shill. I danced in the streets when his father was

I read somewhere that he’s laying low, hoping Princess Caroline appears to be a dud. Which, judging by her public appearances so far, she appears to be. At least the camera liked her brother.
Not sure it’s the right calculation, though. It doesn’t matter how much of a dud she is if the Governor bows to the pressure of Kennedy sycophants.
Hey, Andy was screwed over by one Kennedy already, so what’s another?
The 2nd Duke of Cuomo is outranked by a Princess Royal. It’s a simple as that. His Grace, Lord Andrew, will just have to suck it up.
What will really be interesting is who the Clintons come out and endorse. Hillary, now part of TeamMessiah, was effectively thrown under the bus (and no doubt was a part of her primary losses) when Camelot Barbie and her Uncle Ted came out and supported the Annointed One. Now, do Hill and Bill stay (snort) on the 0bama Plantation...or do they issue a little payback, arkansas style smackdown?
He’s too busy with his girlfriend Sandra Lee (Food Network) to be bothered with Hillary’s seat.
Cuomo says, “That’s right. Politics should not be hereditary. Just because your father was a great politician... Uh, never mind!”
Git outta here...I did not know that. She’s an upgrade from Kennedy cousin 1.0.
it’s pronounced KOOMOH
