Andrew Cuomo Getting Help From Hustler Publisher Larry Flynt

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Andrew Cuomo, in his battle for the Democratic nomination for governor of New York, is getting financial assistance from Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt.

The girlie-magazine magnate is among the sponsors of a $2,500-a-person fund-raiser being held for the former federal housing secretary in Beverly Hills on Thursday. An invitation to the event lists Flynt as a vice chairman, a designation bestowed for $10,000 donations.

Flynt's involvement drew fire from one prominent ally of New York Republican Gov. George Pataki.

"I guess it's who you seek out when you're blinded by naked ambition," said state Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno.

Pataki, who is expected to seek a third term this year, declined comment.

A telephone message left for Flynt at his Los Angeles office was not immediately returned Tuesday.

Cuomo campaign manager Josh Isay defended the candidate's fund-raising.

"Just like Andrew Cuomo has a right to fight for a woman's right to choose and to create homeless shelters for battered women, these people have a right to support Andrew Cuomo," Isay said.

The featured guest for the Thursday night event is former Gov. Mario Cuomo, the father of the candidate.

Flynt's involvement in the Cuomo fund-raiser was first reported by a New York Post gossip columnist Monday.

Did they also forget convicted felon and child molestor on his resume. The Democrats have no shame as long as the money comes in.

Vile BTTT

That is a great line.

The Cuomos are another faux-Catholic family like the Kennedys. They support abortion, pornography, and all kinds of perversions...then go to Mass and Communion on Sunday. What a bunch of skanky hypocrites!

Cuomo must be anointed by the national party elite to justify such a lofty endorsement with Flynt's financial backing.

The real question is how many of my fellow New Yorkers that are also Catholics can honestly defend voting for such a person? Between his beliefs, the murder of unborn children, and the vile crowd he keeps with, Flyn and the Clintons.

It is interesting once again another NY state campaign is being funded from California via the dinner held there.

I once thought Democrats were once good Catholics in a era once long ago.

[what's up]

Actually, isn't Andrew married to a Kennedy?

One of the Cuomos is.

Birds of a feather flock together.

[Inspectorette]

Yeah, he's married to Kerry Kennedy, one of Bobby's daughters.

I think she's the one that dissed President Bush when he dedicated the Justice Dept. building to Bobby when she made the asinine remark to her daughter about "Your Grandpa wouldn't approve of this kind of justice" or something stupid like that.

Did Hillary give Larry Flynt some time off?
