And don’t forget Blago. He sure seems worried about his credibility.

No doubt in my mind he ll be elected again. There are enough dead people from Chicago to Cairo to put him back in office.

Kind of like Edwin Edwards of Louisiana but not as slick. Of course Pritzker has an inexhaustible supply of money. It has been awhile since I lived in the Land of Lincoln so I am not sure how many terms the Governor is allowed. I know that Kinzinger has aspirations.

Why is that?

Al Franken, Eliot Spitzer and Harvey Weinstein all come to mind.

There are plenty of reasons to be critical of Democrats and Liberals. Their policies are destructive to our society. But when you say things like you said above you destroy your credibility.

My credibility is just fine, bud

I stand 100% by my remarks

Acrually, PASig, it's downright depressing to read that kind of defeatist stuff. "They always get away with it" is not exactly true, and complaining that the opposition is never punished is old and worn out. It serves no purpose.

Just out of curiosity, is he wrong in some way?

Hi. Yes. Sorry I didn't respond earlier.

PASig stated that Democrats always protect their own and I gave three prominent examples where that wasn't true.

Sorry for a dumb question, but if he resigns, then who replaces him? is there a vice-governor, or would it be special election???

It looks like it is Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul.

3 out of 3 is impressive.
3 out of 300, less so.








Not even sure what it means, but I find it very disturbing.

They say they have the votes to impeach if he won't step down, we'll see. We won't be any better off with Kathy Hochul but a lot of us will take pleasure in his disgrace.

Ed Koch is laughing in his grave.

I would just love to see that smug mug removed from him and his tool of a brother.

^^ Am I the only one wondering how long Freddo's job at CNN is going to last?

Oh yeeessss.

Not having to ever hear his voice again sure would be nice.


Then we work on changing the name of the Tappan Zee bridge back.



ETA: Oh they're way ahead of me.
Not much more than posturing and showboating, but it's good fun. Just the thing for today's cancel culture, I hope they actually press this idea.

He won’t feel any disgrace. He will see himself as the victim.

It is obvious Cuomo did not give the Big Guy 10%

The irony of Joe Biden saying that Cuomo should resign his office because of inappropriate touching ...

Hmmm, I guess he actually quit. Didn't think he would.

“The best way I can help now is if I step aside and let government get back to governing, and therefore, that’s what I’ll do,” Cuomo said.

The King is dead.
