Now that you got me thinking about ol' "Chins" McConnell, I paid close attention when Mario Cuomo told him exactly where to stuff his language about "blue state bailouts."

Now that you got me thinking about ol' "Chins" McConnell, I paid close attention when Mario Cuomo told him exactly where to stuff his language about "blue state bailouts." To my perception, that's why Cuomo had to go. Not because he stood up to ol' Chins, but because he was energetic, confident, and strong - possibly a presidential contender, eventually. Of course, Cuomo was subsequently tarred as a dirty guy who couldn't keep his hands off the ladies, when it had seemingly never been an issue before. (Kind'a parallels what happened with ol' Bill Clinton, don't you think ‽) But even before that, they were going at him for allegedly lying or misrepresenting his covid numbers. It's a 1,2 punch: another Watergate and another "Trousergate," right out of the Republican - for Nixon - revenge playbook. Whatever the reality of any of it, Cuomo stood up to ol' Chins and was subsequently swatted down. Personally, I'd still vote for Cuomo if he made a presidential bid. He's at >least< as fit a leader as ol' Tweety was!
If he ever comes up with a platform I'd vote for, I wouldn't rule out voting for him - while reminding him to keep his hands to himself when he's surrounded by enemies! Indeed, I'd remind him not to do >anything< stupid in the midst of his enemies!
And please! Don't assume I'm campaigning for him, because I'm not. I'm just sayin', he made a public display of character while ol' Tweety was still runnin' things that I found >quite< impressive. I also admire Liz Chaney, even if I couldn't possibly vote for her - and for the same reason.
Yep! I got that wrong, but corrected it elsewhere. That's because the name "Mario" always went in front of the name "Cuomo" for most of my life, along with the association with NYC. Call it a "senior moment!" LOL!

It's Andrew, everything else is correct!
(Too many years associating Cuomo with Mario!)
OOPS! Right! My bad. Andrew. The guy who took on ol' Chins!
Thank you.
Are you referring to Mario (the father) or Andrew (the son)?
Mario. He's the one who stood up to ol' Chins about "blue state bailouts." I was impressed.

Which Cuomo, again? ..
Mario. He's the one who stood up to ol' Chins about "blue state bailouts." I was impressed.
I thought Mario was dead. Andrew and Chris are his sons. I believe.

Recall, Hillary Clinton was on the Nixon impeachment team.
