Decades later 'Vote For Cuomo, Not The Homo' mailer resurfaces

First, New York Democratic gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon roasted her primary opponent Gov. Andrew Cuomo during an address to the annual Legislative Correspondents Association dinner last May.

“Vote for the homo, not for the Cuomo,” Nixon said during her remarks.

The line was a reference to the 1977 New York City mayoral campaign which pitted Ed Koch against Cuomo’s father, Mario. During the campaign, flyers appeared with the line saying “Vote for Cuomo, Not the Homo,” which Koch had blamed on the Cuomo camp.

It got around in NYC. KillerCuomo’s dad Mario and Koch were grappling in a death match.

Yes. I got a little nostalgic and was rummaging around in old news. Discovered this evidence of this ‘slogan’ seems to have been scrubbed from the net except for this one story and wanted to put it here.l

Btw the complaint that Koch did nothing to stop aids is crazy. NY was on a crash course with its’ illegal bars and nonstop crazy sex for years. Stonewall riots were 1970 and after that it was a drumbeat to all sorts of wild uninhibited gay sex. AIDS wasn’t the only disease they got.

I think his son was old enough then to be active in the campaign.

Seeing the name Ed Koch reminds me of his famous saying during a water shortage when he was referring to toilet flushing.
“If it’s yellow let it mellow, if it’s brown flush it down.”

Despite his odiousness, It makes me wonder why the left is so gung ho on taking him out...
They must have a more radical replacement in the wings

”...if it’s brown flush it down.”

We’re still using that half in reference to Kate Brown, D-OR

Maybe all the talk he was getting for his masterful handling of the pandemic last year was making Kamala’s handlers nervous. Newsome’s getting the treatment, as well. I had him picked for the heir apparent.

If a Republican was accused of saying it, the FBI would be brought in.

True enough, but I never could stand that sanctimonious POS. Can we cancel him and take his name off the bridge that bears his name in New York Harbor.

Fun fact our younger listeners may not know: Cuomo the elder didn’t have the Sones to take on Bush, Sr in the 1992 Presidential election because Bush has sky high ratings after the First Gulf War. He would have easily gotten the nomination

Then a recession hit. And that’s how a certain no-name Governor of Arkansas got the rat nomination and was elected President

Do you remember that no-name governor of Arkansas was later taped having a conversation with a girlfriend, and the tapes were released. That governor said that Mario Cuomo was Mafioso. (I didn't like Cuomo, but he wasn't that.)

I suspect the Cuomos still hate the Clintons.

#11. Put Brown’s face on toilet paper with that saying. It will sell by the ton.
