In today’s world this had to happen. Suddenly and sort of unexpectedly, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced his resignation Tuesday. His fellow Democrats from the President on down urged him to quit following charges of sexual misconduct against eleven women as a report he’d requested and received from the state Attorney General said.
The report may not have been what he’d hoped for, but thumbs
up or down, it gave him time to ramp up a defense.
The defense was a complete denial which no one
believed. Impeachment looms -- and may yet happen… which would prevent
him from running again in the future.... And something that common sense would
dictate anyway.
The gov. Is no dummy. He can read the writing on the
wall. Sometimes he follows it. This was one of those. He did the
right thing after doing the wrong things.
Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul -- pronounced HO’-kul -- will be
the state’s first woman governor. That only took 245 years plus a few
days. New York was admitted to the Union on July 9, 1776.
