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

<p>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.<br /> <br /> The governor denied it, but has now announced his intention to resign from office.<br /> <br /> Seriously?<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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. </p> <p>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?<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> Cuomo’s decision to cut and run is a major disappointment. I thought he was a fighter. He’s not. He’s a pussy.</p> <p><br /></p> <p><strong>Tell a friend, a loved one, a colleague, or even a stranger about Law and Legitimacy.
