Friends: Cuomo walked over wife's affair

Boston Herald ^ | July 2, 2003

``Kerry is definitely involved with another man, and Andrew knows who he is...''

Bill Clinton?

Political insiders said yesterday Cuomo committed political suicide by lashing out at his estranged wife and airing the high-profile couple's dirty laundry in the press.

I knew there was an upside to this split-up.

``On two levels it was a jerk move. Whether you're married to a Kennedy or not, it lacks any sort of class. And to do it to a member of a politically connected family is beyond stupid.''

Stupid is as Stupid does.

Cuomo, say insiders, has a ``certain amount of second generation entitlement'' that hasn't endeared him to pols in New York and Washington, D.C. - not to mention deep-pocketed Demmie donors.

A quickie definition of this attitude is "shmuck."

Clinton was the first thing I thought of as well.

More bad news for Andrew:

The Catholic Church refused to give him an annulment. They did offer to quietly move his wife to another unsuspecting parish.

I doubt him talking about his wife's affiar will cause much damage to whatever little was left of his chances.

[PJ-Comix]

The article did say she was seeking a divorce. In the not so distant past they most likely would have seeked an annulment but she has her own brother, Joe Jr., to blame for ruining that annulment gimmick. Even though Joe Jr. and his wife had been married for years and had a few kids, Joe Jr. insisted of going the annulment route. Normally he would have gotten away with it but his wife wrote a book about this topic mocking that whole annulment routine. Joe Jr. was forced to back down on his annulment plans and since then Church annulments have been much tougher to get for EVERYBODY.

Which are somewhere between Nil and None. With a face and attitude like Cuomo's you just can't get very far in public life.

At least we are trashing these people while they are ALIVE.

Hitlery got a lot of mileage out of Bill's escapades. Why not Andy?

[Dante3]

I agree.

Shouldn't this describe the Kennedys as well?

[big gray tabby]

The ugly SOB isn't any cuter for the horns his wife stuck on him, is he?

[mr.pink]

I'd have to figure that a lot of the folks who worked under this creep at HUD are having quite a chuckle over Andrew's latest implosion.

If Andrew ever did the horizontal mombo with any of the DC/NY pol-groupies it should roll off the presses pretty soon.

For the life of me I can't figure how a man of so much priviledge is so thoroughly nasty.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Whether you're married to a Kennedy or not, it lacks any sort of class.

I can't imagine anyone with class marrying a Kennedy.

[Hatteras]

I typed "Kerry Kennedy" in Google Images and came up with this:

Oh, the humanity...

[Xenalyte]

"But he will try to accommodate Ms. Kennedy Cuomo's decision to leave the marriage. In the interest of the privacy of the party's children and the family, Mr. Cuomo will make no further comment."

Ugh. Regardless of the status of her marriage, it would never be proper to address her as "Ms. Kennedy Cuomo." Until they divorce, she's "Mrs. Cuomo."

(Like I should expect correctness from the industry that allows people to "plead innocent.")

[TommyDale]

I was thinking more along the lines of Hillary Clinton.

Ha! Boston chimes in on the Kennedy side!!

That picture deserves it's own thread. It marks the public debut of Ketchup boy.

Ted Kennedy pictures from this era should be limited to the neck brace photo from Chappaquiddick.
