It's a Cuomo thing (I guesss)

Obviously, the stranger who called Chris Cuomo "Fredo" touched a very sensitive nerve in the anchor for the third-rated cable news operation. As the son and brother of two governors of New York, Chris may feel himself an underachiever, perhaps occupying his position of prominence solely on the basis of his family ties. That could explain the vehemence, verbal thuggery, and victimology of the unhinged rant that followed.
Warning: the video embedded below is NOT SAFE FOR WORK:
In case you are not able to listen to the vile language where you are reading this, here are some narrated excerpts, courtesy of the Washington Examiner:
"Punk-a‑‑ b‑‑‑‑‑‑ on the right call me Fredo," Cuomo says, and goes on to explain why he finds that name offensive.
"Fredo was from The Godfather," Cuomo said. "He was a weak brother. And they use it as an Italian aspersion. Are any of you Italian? Are you Italian? It's a f‑‑‑‑‑‑ insult to your people. It's an insult to your f‑‑‑‑‑‑ people." He then claimed that "Fredo" is the N-word to Italians. "Is that a cool f‑‑‑‑‑‑ thing?"
The other man in the video then mockingly tells Cuomo that he is "a much more reasonable guy in person than you seem to be on television," to which Cuomo responds, "If you want to play, we'll f‑‑‑‑‑‑ play."

His ratings sleep with the fishes...
HEY let’s not ruin one of the best scenes in American movie history!!!
Cuomo doesn’t deserve it :)
And if more great Godfather scenes are used on this board to make fun of Cuomo, THIS I will not forgive and I will blame some of the people on this website!!
But other than that, I promise that I will not be the one to break the peace made on FR today.
:)
I had to look up who Fredo is LOL I thought it was the character from Lord of the Rings(The one that says My Precious) yeah shows what I know LOL I didnt watch The Godfather so I guess the saying is true, you do learn something new everyday
If SNL cared for America, which they don’t, they’d have John Cazale play Cuomo in a kit this weekend.
skit
He acted more like Sonny...
I hope he realizes after that he’s now guaranteed that people will call him Fredo.
Was he a writer for the show “Deadwood?” My theory about that show was the writers were paid by how often they could use the “f” word. If so Cuomo would fit right in.
Cazale died way back in 1978
He and his dad and brother are commie scums in my most humble opinion. He’s a brilliant anchor on CNN with about 34 viewers other than airport patrons and workers.
Yeah, just saw that, thanks. They won’t anyway, but it would be a great skit with someone playing Fredo 1.
I’m of Italian ancestry on both sides. Three of my grandparents were born in Italy; one was born in New Jersey to Italian immigrant parents....my great-grandparents.
A lot of the mafia crap coming out of Hollywood is both insulting and widely inaccurate.
That being said, I’m not offended by the name “Fredo.”
I’m offended by the left wing moonbats at CNN like the b*tch Cuomo.
I’m offended by these commie so-called “journalists” who insult our president and his supporters nonstop.
You owe me a new tshirt.
Fredo Corleone, despite his flaws, seemed to be a likeable guy.
Chris Cuomo has none of those qualities.
Those of you who are not familiar with “Fredo” should really see the Godfather movie, as it is one of the greatest movies of all time.
Godfather II will be showing nationwide on the big screen this November (see FathomEvents.com). I will go to see this for the first time, and I am looking forward to it.
