Kathy Hochul’s terrible judgment leads to one terrible day
NY Post ^ | 12 Apr 2022 | Bob McManus

Gov. Kathy Hochul rushed to the microphones Tuesday to reassure New Yorkers following the Brooklyn subway shootings. She should’ve stood in bed.

Out tumbled a jumble of half-thoughts, unfocused and haltingly delivered, underscoring what has been apparent for some time now — which is that New York’s latest accidental governor would be out of her depth in a Buffalo mud puddle.

Which, in a manner of speaking, is where she came from.

Hochul’s horrible day also included news that her handpicked, staunchly defended lieutenant governor, Brian Benjamin, had just been arrested on federal corruption charges. Benjamin would be gone by day’s end, of course, but the matter will linger.

Actually, the scandal could have been predicted by anybody who pays even cursory attention to New York politics. But Hochul, it seems, doesn’t pay attention to much. This would explain her selection of Benjamin in the first place — and the amazingly ineffective state-budget cycle that she just stumbled through.

No one voted for her to lead them.

Its not surprising its what you get from someone vaulted into a position no one voted for them to be in. Many of the people voted into positions can’t do a good job, much more so for those thrown in as a substitute.

The first press conference was delayed so she could get there. It began with the NMPD black female chief describing who they were looking for (including it was a black male, a detail the lame-stream networks deliberately omitted in their breaking news casts) and as she was saying the NYFD would describe on-scene details, Madame Governor interrupted to have her say before the assembled press and news cameras.

Maybe she should have went to the office before making that statement.

“Lower“ translates to “minus”...”lesser” translates to “luminare,” which would sound better in a motto, I believe.

Thanks.

Google says there is no direct antonym.

I’d suggest a special session of the NYS legislature to adopt a new State motto.

Yeah she should have stayed home painting her toenails or something…her statement was pure political tripe with a dash of hysteria…first time that I have ever heard her speech and I was totally unimpressed…

Excelsior means ever upward.

How about skewer downward.

Maybe “Nadir?”
