--SNIP-- Politicians in tuxedos and evening gowns migrated to the Four Seasons from the nearby Waldorf Astoria, where the white-tie Al Smith dinner benefiting Catholic Charities was held.Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, resplendent in a black tux, stopped by to tease Sharpton about his dramatic weight loss before turning serious.

“The Rev. is half the man he used to be ... but he still has that sense of outrage at injustice. He’s no longer New York City’s Sharpton, he’s the nation’s Sharpton,” said Cuomo.

Democrats celebrating a man who nobody serious would be caught within the same camera frame 20 years ago. This is what that city and its party has become.

True story: I had a cousin who had been overweight all his life. In his early 60s he experienced a dramatic weight loss that pleased him and he even bragged about his new, trimmer appearance. When he was 65 he ignored a heart attack, drove home from work, and was later found dead in an easy chair. An autopsy revealed that he had several undiagnosed cancerous tumors which the doc said accounted for his weight loss.

Anyone else who owed $2 million to the government would be hosting their parties in Cell Block C.

But we live in an Animal Farm world, where some animals are more equal than others.

Am looks terrible, as if he has some health problems.

He has a stunning lovely younger girlfriend. I wonder what she sees in him. I mean she looks young enough to be his daughter young.

It’s been suggested that he has the look of someone who’s had the stomach stapling surgery for weight loss. I concur that’s what accounts for the weight loss.
