@catseye3 said in Et tu, Andrew?:
Okay. Which part?
The part where you said you weren't the last word in gorgeousness. You're totally hot.
@lufins-dad said in Et tu, Andrew?:
You're totally hot.
Aw-w-w-w, that's so nice.
So, LuFin, what're you wearing?

First, I'll point out that I met my wife at work, and having made a complete arse out of myself with her on a work pub crawl, I somehow, for reasons I can still not fully understand, ended up getting her to agree to go out with me.
The problem with Cuomo, and with many situations, is that the person making the move is often the person in power. If a man in power is making all the running, it can be quite difficult to smack him down. It's bad enough when the power play is not sexual in nature.
I was only joking

Seems like only a few months ago that there was a fierce urgency for impeachment.
Now? Not so much
The impeachment investigation of Gov. Andrew Cuomo will likely take “months” to complete because there are so many allegations against him, the head of the Assembly Judiciary Committee said Tuesday.
“Given the breadth and seriousness of the issues under investigation, we expect that the timing will be in terms of months, rather than weeks,” committee Chairman Charles Lavine (D-Long Island) said during the panel’s first meeting on the matter.
Lavine said he’d served a notice of “non-retaliation” on Cuomo’s office in a bid to prevent intimidation of witnesses to the governor’s alleged wrongdoing.
What? An investigation?
Evidence?
How quaint.

Guys with power and money have been getting laid more than the rest of us, since time began. I have no problem with it. Seems like many women find power and money to be powerful aphrodisiacs.
The problem comes when a man (or woman) uses his position as a cudgel to get what he wants. The person on the receiving end of his "affections" should have the power to say "No", without any negative repercussions.
As an example, if Cuomo was actually hitting on some SYT and she shut that off like twisting a faucet handle, the sexual harassment line is crossed whenever her dismissal of his overtures has any negative effects upon her job or career. Or if he persists after being firmly rejected. Now, I know that's not the definition of sexual harassment as contained within the law...That definition is anything perceived by the recipient as sexual harassment is sexual harassment. IMO, that definition is too broad, along with being unfair and essentially unworkable.

Another woman:
A woman accusing Gov. Cuomo of grabbing her face and kissing her without her consent is slated to come forward Monday afternoon, adding to the growing number of sexual misconduct claims against the embattled governor.
Attorney Gloria Allred will hold a press conference with the woman at 2:30 p.m. The woman, who is married, will detail how she “was shocked when the Governor suddenly grabbed her face and kissed her in front of her home,” according to a press release.
Allred added that there is a photo of the kiss that will be provided during the briefing. -
Cuomo violated federal, state laws as he sexually harassed multiple women, NY attorney general says
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed at least 11 women and then retaliated against a former employee who complained publicly about his conduct, according to a bombshell report released Tuesday by state Attorney General Letitia James.
The monthslong probe concluded that Cuomo “sexually harassed multiple women, and in doing so violated federal and state law,” James said at a press conference. Her office noted, however, that there were no specific penalties tied to the report.
The 165-page report, which comprises interviews with 179 witnesses and a review of tens of thousands of documents, also said that Cuomo’s office was riddled with fear and intimidation, and was a hostile work environment for many staffers.
Cuomo harassed members of his own staff, members of the public and other state employees, one of whom was a state trooper, the report alleges. He engaged in nonconsensual groping, kissing and hugging, and made inappropriate comments toward numerous women, according to the report.
The findings reveal “a deeply disturbing, yet clear, picture,” James said, describing Cuomo’s office as “a toxic workplace.”
Cuomo’s office did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment on the attorney general’s report.

Courageous leadership.
In fairness to Biden, when these allegations surfaced, he as appropriately noncommittal. He didn't want to make a statement or pass judgment until the investigation was complete.
Now it is, and he's following up on that, to
thehis creditof his handlers. -
