DUNCE OF THE MONTH
NEW YORK STATE OF MINE
By AndrewAmundson
A philandering billionaire or president remains a universal touchstone of Americana and humanity, as inevitable as the hurricane season upon us or Congress perennially accomplishing less than nothing. These sex scandals are little fires flickering in the black, needing only a salacious breath of oxygen to ravage legacies and break the Internet. And right now, Cuomo is scorched... A TOUCHING STORY The one anomaly of Cuomo’s black swan dive of disgrace is that he’s single... So, there was no affair to chafe at America’s latent puritanical sensitivities. His crime ultimately was one of staying in the political game too long. Oh, and lack of consent – that’ll get you every time . He’s almost owned up
You did it, Andrew Cuomo! Back in March, you were a mere Dunce runner-up, but in this Olympian marathon of idiocy, you’ve managed to ascend to August’s top perch. We all know no one watches the Oscars anymore... Still, whoever scripted Cuomo’s life, political career, and personal arc deserves at least a nod for Best Adapted Screenplay (it might lose out to the Giuliani musical biopic, though). It’s Greek... Shakespearean... Pulp fiction... A targeted viral algorithm. Cuomo, your fall is yawningly predictable. How many career politicians or men slinking through the corridors of power, from the Hill to Silicon Valley, have limped astray with their wandering eyes (and loins)? Kennedy. Clinton. Trump. Weiner. Bezos. Gaetz. Spitzer. Gates.
