Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha …
We start off the shortest month of the year with the longest laugh of the year so far at least.
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha …
The district attorney's office in Oswego County, New York, chose not to pursue charges against former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, so another down, a few more to go.
I could have told you that this was going to happen, and in fact, I think I did tell you that this was going to happen some time back.
In this particular case, the woman—whose name I won’t mention because she doesn’t deserve any more publicity, even in this humble column, for participating in this canard--accused Cuomo of touching her without her consent during a 2017 conservation event in the upstate county.
Her supposed account was included in New York Attorney General Letitia James' report last year accusing Cuomo of inappropriate actions with a dozen women.
Although the woman’s recollection of events was "reliable and reasonable," Oswego County District Attorney Gregory Oakes said Monday that there was not sufficient legal basis for charges.
That is a nice way of saying that there is nothing there to go further with.
And funny, an increasing amount of these women are having their supposed charges against the former governor thrown out, one after the other, like dominoes falling, and as I predicted from the very beginning of this sordid situation, they will all eventually fall by the wayside, because if nothing else, the damage has been done on Cuomo’s life and career with or without further prosecution—which was the very reason that these charges came to this level, of course.
Here is what I had to say yesterday on Facebook about all of this:
“This happened because there was nothing there to go further with. As much as I dislike the guy, he was the victim of a clear political assassination ordered by someone whose feathers were ruffled by this guy.
Notice that his own lieutenant governor, Kathy "The Yokel" Hochul, is all part of this situation, as she is trying to get a two-term limit for governor passed before Cuomo can put his hat into the election next year.
She darn well knows that she will lose to him, even if he runs as an independent, and he will also beat a Republican, too.
Whatever his now tarnished reputation is, he remains extremely popular with New York voters, many of whom didn't believe any of these charges from the get go.
We have not heard the last of him in New York politics, and shame on the women who allowed themselves to be part of this; by doing so, they forever cast doubts on other women who have legitimate claims of sexual harassment.”
And that really is the sum total of this, the entire crux of the situation in a nutshell, or just five paragraphs.
I, personally, have not believed a single charge against him from any of these women … maybe it is because I am a male, around his age, and in this current environment we are in, some women take it as a major offense if they think you are simply looking at them in the wrong way and make claims that tarnish a person’s reputation before they have a chance to even answer to what they have been accused of.
It is wrong, 100-percent wrong, to vilify someone before they have a chance to respond, but that is exactly what was done with Cuomo, someone who I personally dislike, a man I have never voted for … in fact, I never voted for his father, Mario, either.
Both had egos a mile wide, both were condescending to a level that is not even seen with most politicians, and both backed different measures that I disagreed with.
But the younger Cuomo was accused of things in this case that were not only unbelievable, but really so absolutely insipid that even a non-Cuomo backer like myself could see through them pretty easily.
You see, the basic problem with these cases is that it takes two to create such situations, and you have one side saying one thing, another side saying another.
And when it comes to a man and a woman, well, it gets to be a “he said, she said” scenario, and in this case, I didn’t buy what she said, and since so many cases against Cuomo have already been dropped, I think prosecutors simply found that even if he did the heinous things he was supposed to have done, it was really between him and the women, and no real laws were broken because the former governor didn’t really do anything up to the level of warranting such charges.
Let’s see how many dominoes fall in the coming weeks and months ... and the one thing I do know for sure is that some people in Albany are quaking in their boots, because as these cases fall by the wayside, Cuomo creeps closer to running for governor again … and with people not only voting for him because they like him, others will vote for him out of sympathy, and the term “rising from the ashes” could certainly apply here once November comes around.
