Et tu, Andrew?

Rocked by a second aide's allegations, embattled New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has asked an ex-federal judge to investigate whether he sexually harassed subordinates, rejecting the wishes of prominent Democrats who believed State Attorney General Letitia James should lead the probe.
Cuomo late Saturday named former U.S. District Judge Barbara Jones, a former law partner of one of the governor's closest advisers, to review his conduct after Charlotte Bennett became the second former Cuomo aide in a week to allege she was sexually harassed by the governor.
Prominent Democrats, including state Senate Democratic Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, had urged Cuomo to follow the state's tradition and refer the probe to James.
"As has become standard practice in the State of New York when allegations relate directly to the Executive, Governor Cuomo should refer the matter to the Attorney General, who should, in turn, appoint an independent investigator," Nadler said.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

He’s so fucked.
When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

He’s toast but let’s not pretend that his replacement will be any better in terms of policy or behavior.

Good people don't go into politics?
Mark, I think you know the answer. 5555
I think you are a good person. Would you WANT to go into politics? LOL
The best people for the politics jobs are those that would not want to run.

It is two different games.
The high moral character game is nothing like the political game.
It's like saying an NFL lineman doesn't seem like a good family man, because he is bashing everyone.
When a politician is politicking he usually isn't playing the high moral character game, although he might pretend to play that game.

Why do we always elect the worst people?
Good people don't go into politics?
I have yet to see one.
You're still breathing.
Run.
You've got my vote.
Thanks but, no thanks.

He's done, at this point it's just a matter of how long he wants to drag it out. As we saw a year ago with school closings, it takes him some time to traverse the stages of grief.
