I saw most of it live. I thought it was the right and smart thing to do.
And that the speech was good, true Cuomo family values family stuff!
Dad Mario would be proud!
Mary Ann here has a good comment that sort of it gets the gist of it:
Did also see a talking head on local news coverage make the comparison to the ancient story of Icarus which I think also is quite apt.
Only thing that pisses me off if that idiot DeBlasio is still left standing and he will consider that a win over his enemy which it is not at all. Whatever Andrew did, I assure you DeBlasio is hated more by more New Yorkers.
And I think in actuality, when it all settles down, Andrew Cuomo will still have a lot of influence on what goes on in Albany. He'll actually be freer to have more influence as he will be free of the rules that apply to those who are on salary.
I will only get angry if they waste time doing a kabuki impeachment, that would be such bogus bullshit. The accountability for any workplace harrassment crimes will happen in court.
As a talking head on local tv said just now: it's actually not a crime to be a bully in a powerful government position apart from breaking employment harassment law.

And yes, a brilliant speech.

thank you; sorry about that

Oh, i thought you did it for me! ;-)
(oh wait, is that sexual harassment since I'm on the masthead... I'll resign as soon as I find someone who wants to herd the various cats and write a delish career-reviving "sorry-but-Ill--be-back"-palooza - toxic PP)

well actually now that I just read this, seems like if Cuomo just ran for mayor of Detroit, he'd be fine, as the culture there would be very amenable to any old style debasement of women, they do worse themselves. Just sayin

Are we about to witness the Democrat version of Arab Spring? Conservatives recall Newsom, the Squad takes the speakership from Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris becomes pres., etc.
The end result wouldn't be too dissimilar from the Eastern Bloc or Middle East. Democrats who were in power forever did so by convincing a huge diversity of demographics that they were "allies" who needed them in the face of a hostile, white conservative America.

Uh, the Squad's rather powerless if my eyes don't device me, while Biden's seeming to please his base. And Cuomo's speech is one powerful lesson in messaging. That was like a Robert F Kennedy moment (alas without the Greek classics, but so it goes)

The new version of Rev. Cotton Mather preaches the virtues of the correct and holy life, using Cuomo as the most current example. Cannot leave it up to the secular courts to settle the issues involved after a resignation and public apology, NOPE WE MUST RAIL AGAINST THEM WITCHES and make sure all are continually cast out:

Has anyone stopped to consider where trophy wives come from?

Reminder: Cuomo hid nursing home data because Trump was attacking him & New York using the full power of DoJ and other federal tools. And then on the personal side I'm sure he's helped the other accusations against Coumo - that's their M.O. - full court press.

More #MeToo in the apolitical sphere as well
Nicki Minaj and Husband Sued, Accused of Harassing Sexual Assault Victim
Jennifer Hough said in a lawsuit filed in New York that the couple pressured her to recant her account of the rapper’s husband, Kenneth Petty, sexually assaulting her in 1994.

oh look what fun, it's progressive pile-on Cuomo; looks to me like is a case of "here's our chance to kick the powerful guy we always hated" while he's down, "call the NYTimes with your story, even suggest he is racist..."
I just think this is going to get real interesting in a Shakespearean sort of way. This is not all the same as Eliot Spitzer; people making that comparison sound wrong to me. A Cuomo simply does not just go off quietly into the good night. He hasn't even done the "my side of the facts" with the MeToo stuff yet.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have a bone in this fight, rather I am cynical; to me all NY state Dem politics are corrupt in one way or another. I just think this is one guy that will want to fight back and knows how to. Cuomo is super talented at the NY political game, he grew up seeing it up close and personal
A comparison to Eric Adams is more apt than Eliot Spitzer - Adams for example has considerable experience manipulating both parties in Albany and has a lot of machine pol experience.
Will be surprised if Cuomo is not a comeback kid in one way or another.

he's putting in for his pension to help pay the legal bills, no doubt, that's the way these things work
