September 10, 2001 -- WASHINGTON - Federal watchdogs today will testify that Andrew Cuomo's "lax oversight" let crooks loot a housing program for the poor that will now cost taxpayers $130 million to bail out.

At issue is Cuomo's role as Bill Clinton's secretary of Housing and Urban Development and his pet home-ownership program for the poor, which collapsed in scandal.

Good luck on trying to pin anything on 'Andrew, Made-Man, Cuomo', katt!

Andy is Mafia-Supreme, and he's headed for a Congressional Seat, or even Senator!

Whattsamatta-u? Didn't you see The Godfather?

I'll be in the Turks-and-Caicos when you people have to deal with this fu*king criminal. ...FRegards

Something just occurred to me, katt.....

If you or me had done what Andrew Cuomo did, and then claimed ignorance, we could both go to the MAFIA, and ask for protection!

It's just another day in Paradise, folks, and Chandra's still dead!......FRegards

"In Harlem, religious and other not-for-profit organizations, working in partnership with criminals, aggressively pilfered nearly the entire investment,"

I see that the X42 administration had faith based initiatives too! I'm sure once the kinks are worked out, the distribution of reparations will proceed perfectly.

"Federal watchdogs today will testify that Andrew Cuomo's "lax oversight" let crooks loot a housing program for the poor that will now cost taxpayers $130 million to bail out."

Why? I'd tell these poor people the money was looted by the Rats and taxpayers can't afford to replace it. It would be nice to see a few hundred welfare moms protesting at Cuomo rallys. The poor will love the Rats until they're made to see, Rats only use them to get taxpayer money.

Today's bipartisan congressional hearing was called by Rep. Sue Kelly (R-Westchester), with Reps. Charles Rangel (D-Harlem) - who backs Cuomo's gubernatorial rival Carl McCall - and Felix Grucci (R-L.I.) also expected.

If Charlie Rangel is willing to join the Republicans on this, Little Andy could be all used up.

Hopefully, NYers will have slightly more political common sense than they had last year, when The Hellarroid was up for sale and they bought her...

Poor Andy. He expected Al "I Invented Everything" Gore to successfully steal the election so he didn't expect to have to face the music. Darn rotten luck!

Yep. Andy and a whole bunch more of the bad guys relied on Gore. Let us hope that they are called to task...

CHUD deals with low cost housing? I thought their job was to sue gun makers. I guess you learn something new every day.

Boy Cuomo is running against an African American for the dem NY Governor nomination>

It's good to see Rangel helping to do him in.

Cuomo is scum, not mafia, just scum like his father.

If little Andy had put half the effort into doing his job as he put into eviscerating Smith & Wesson, this might not have happened.
But then again, maybe he'd have done a better job of hiding it...

.... If Charlie Rangel is willing to join the Republicans on this, Little Andy's ambition to be Governor could be into some very rough water......

Normally, I'd say Charlie Rangel was on board only to assure that the Crown Prince didn't really get hurt .... but since Andy Boy is running against McCall it will really be interesting to watch. Rangel will want to see Andy Boy hurt bad enough to force him out of the race but not to be destroyed .... also keep in mind that Andy's married to a Kennedy. I hate to say it but Charlie Rangel will totally control the Republican ..... he is a shrewd piece of work and could end up Speaker if the Dems ever regain control of the house.

Que cosa! Both Cuomos are on my list of people I'd like to see tarred and feathered.

We should start a "Tar and Feather Award". Everyone vote for who they'd most like to see tarred and feathered. We could present the winner with a doll, like Oscar, covered in tar & feathers. As much as he hates government waste, I'll bet Bill O'Reilly would announce the winner on his show.

I hate RATS!
