LAL #047 — Andrew, Andrew, Andrew—You Pussy

I guess nothing is sacred any longer in the United States—certainly not elections, legal process, fairness, or the presumption of innocence. In a 165-page report by New York's Attorney General, Andrew Cuomo was accused of a pattern of sexual harassment involving eleven women. The governor denied it, but has now announced his intention to resign from office. Seriously? Were I a New Yorker, I would feel betrayed, especially if I had voted for the man. He owes more to the people of the Empire State that this ignominious retreat from confronting charges he denies. We've become a republic of pusillanimous wimps. The claims against Cuomo are that he kissed, hugged, and groped women with whom he worked, and that he sometimes talked about sex with them.  He was single. He hugs and kisses men, too. What next, a parade of men who he's hugged or kissed under the banner #HimToo? I was hopeful that the #MeToo movement had run its course during the pandemic, the hysteria spent and now flowing in other directions. My hopes are dashed. Flirtation is a crime and victimhood the new national pastime. Cuomo's decision to cut and run is a major disappointment. I thought he was a fighter. He's not. He's a pussy.
