This week Governor Andrew Cuomo begged New York City residents to return to the city in the most shameless act of wheedling by a New Yorker since Mars famously importuned Nola, in Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It, “Please baby, please baby, please baby, baby, baby please.” Used to live in NYC but have lately found the suburbs, or points south, more congenial? Andrew Cuomo will cook you dinner if you come back.
“I literally talk to people all day long who are now in their Hamptons house who also lived here, or in their Hudson Valley house, or in their Connecticut weekend house and I say, ‘You got to come back!’” Cuomo said Monday. “‘We’ll go to dinner! I’ll buy you a drink! Come over, I’ll cook!’”
“I’ll buy you a drink” is the cringiest of those promises since Cuomo has been closing dozens of bars for not complying with his arbitrary virus-related diktats, which include requiring tipplers to order food in accordance with some known-only-to-him provision of the coronavirus that confers immunity via purchase of a Caesar salad. But he’s probably right about one thing: All of the people who are eager to move back to New York City could indeed probably fit in his dining room right now. It has finally occurred to Andrew Cuomo that the months-long electronic tongue-bath he received from media outlets such as CNN, which in the midst of the carnage pushed forward his own brother to serve as his interlocutor/publicist/comedy sidekick, has not fooled New Yorkers of means. Scads of the wealthiest have fled, and they are in no rush to return.

Yup, he gave a big middle finger to conservatives of all stripes, not just republicans. He scolded them and told them to get out and stay out.
He truly is an A-hole and a creep. I think I’ll pass on the dinner and drinks.
Just like an abusive spouse.
I was wrong and I just can’t live without you
Nice, I was looking for the words to say exactly that (I know, they're from the song).
One of my favorites...From about 1978. I bought the 45 and i was 13 yrs old...my friend’s dad loved the song and borred it and copied it on his 8-track player.
That’s a great one-two punch. DeBlasio insists they come back without addressing why they left in any way shape or form.
Cuomo says let them go, we will recoup all these tax losses on the backs on “working people”.
Terrific.
You’ll need more than a drink when you get Cuomo’s tax bill.
The “governor” should be wearing a “wife beater” t-shirt when he tries to lure his abused victims back.
“Baby, I’ve changed! It will be different this time, I swear!”
Cuomo is a bad man, a very bad man.
Babies, please GO back. We don’t need you down South.
Okay, there is no “Baby please come back.” There is Baby Come Back, and Baby Please Come Home, but that’s it.
Spending all my sessions, all your taxes on my liberal schemes
Doing anything just to waste your taxes you paid
But when the election comes, I tell you your taxes were very well spent
And trying to tell me I’m wrong is wasting your time
Bring your money back, any kind of fool could see
It’s your income, that makes us say we love you
Bring your money back, you can blame it all on Trump
We are broke, and we just can’t spend without you
All day long, we’re wearing our masks due to COVID-19
And Antifa rioters think that cover helps them just fine
But as the sun goes down, the Starbucks catches fire again
How I wish to Soros your cash belonged to me
Bring your money back, any kind of fool could see
It’s your income, that makes us say we love you
Bring your money back, you can blame it all on Trump
We are broke, and we just can’t spend without you
Now that New York is in the dumpster, oh oh
Give me the chance to make it worse
Have you paid tax on every cent you have earned?
Nothing left for me? Ain’t there nothing left for me?
Bring your money back, any kind of fool could see
It’s your income, that makes us say we love you
Bring your money back, you can blame it all on Trump
We are broke, and we just can’t spend without you
Bravo. Great job.
So glad I referenced that song and now your parody has improved this day a lot.
Glad you liked it-that is one of my favorite Seventies songs, too...brings back memories...:)
Bass player, Ronn Moss , played Ridge on Bold and the Beautiful for over 20 years.
There is Baby, Please Don’t Go.
See? Even musicians can come up in the world.
This is the same man who said that pro-life people are not wanted and ought to leave New York. If they have money are they now tolerated ? Cuomo is not only evil but incompetent.His greatest legacy will be chronic energy shortages especially affecting New York City and its suburbs. Not only did he dismantle nuclear electricity generation ( it ceases in 2021 and it currently generates about 25% of the regions electricity), but he will not allow gas exploration or production and will not allow new gas pipelines.Sorry only some sympathy for decent Republicans who simply cannot move for personal or economic reasons. People who knowingly voted for this horrible man are entitled to the consequences.
Bravo! Very well done, sir.
Yacht Rock Radio on XM 70 plays that kind of music. It’s a favorite channel.
