“It’s disgusting to watch Cuomo. The Gov of my home state. He never has gotten a tough or combative question, because the reporter who would do that would be heckled and ridiculed. Cuomo announced finally New York is broke. Has been for a very long time. 6 billion in debt. A corrupt and poorly run Socialist state. The media is deadly silent about this too!!!”
I went to law school with Benito Cuomo. He never impressed me as brilliant or even average, and while I don’t know for sure, I suspect he skated by because of his name (like Bush and Gore).
You may find this interesting: Four years after graduating from law school, and with little, if any, law firm experience, a 28 year old Benito Cuomo became a partner in a high-profile, boutique law firm on Park Avenue Avenue in NYC, when most of his law school peers were still laboring as young associates learning how to practice law. Cuomo’s clientele included the rich and powerful, many of whom did business with the State and City of New York. Despite Cuomo’s lack of experience practicing law, he insisted that he landed the clients on his own, not because his father was the state governor. One of his clients, was none other than Donald J. Trump. (When Benito’s father, Mario, practiced law before going into politics, his law firm represented Trump’s father.)

PING! Great to get this background scoop on the origins of Never-that-Great Cuomo. Thanks, Labyrinthos...
