Andrew Cuomo’s days as governor of New York have come to an end as of Tuesday. Attorney and analyst Gregg Jarrett makes the case for the prosecution. Oh, and now throw the luv guv’s brother into the career dustbin for good measure.

This happened just after noon on Tuesday. Cuomo said, “New York tough means New York loving, and I love New York and I love you. I would never want to be unhelpful in any way, and I think given the circumstances, the best way I can help now is if I step aside and let government get back to governing, and therefore, that’s what I’ll do.” Love? Ewwww…this guy just doesn’t get it.

He clung to a pathetic defense. “When there is a bias or a lack of fairness in the justice system, it is a concern for everyone,” he said. “There is a difference between alleged improper conduct and concluding sexual harassment. Now, don’t get me wrong, this is not to say that there are 11 women who I truly offended. There are, and I deeply, deeply apologize.” Give it up Fredo, it’s over.

“In my mind, I’ve never crossed the line with anyone, but I didn’t realize the extent to which the line has been redrawn,” he added. “There are generational and cultural shifts that I just didn’t fully appreciate. And I should have, no excuses.” Cultural shifts? Yeah, like away from rape.

“I have slipped and called people ‘honey, ’sweetheart’ and ‘darling.’ I mean it to be endearing but women found it dated and offensive,” he continued. “I take full responsibility for my actions. I have been too familiar with people. My sense of humor can be insensitive and off-putting.” Too familiar? Sense of humor? What a clod. What an oafish bore. The best part after what he had said about Republicans? He is killed with his own sword.

 

Jarrett: “…If you have the stomach for the nauseating particulars, I invite you to read all 165 pages. The governor is exposed in sickening detail as a man who preyed on nearly a dozen women, forcing himself on them with unwanted groping, fondling, kissing and highly sexualized come-ons. There is now no doubt that Cuomo’s aspirations for higher office are over. His name is synonymous with the word ‘creep.’

Brittany Commisso, who was identified as “Executive Assistant #1″ in the AG’s report, bravely sat down for an interview with CBS News that aired on Monday. She described in chilling detail Cuomo’s revolting behavior as he reached under her blouse and fondled her breast against her will. During another incident, she said he grabbed her butt and massaged it. He also forcibly kissed her on the lips. ‘It was not welcomed and it certainly was not consensual,’ she fumed.

Commisso was poised and articulate as she recounted the harassment and physical abuse that she suffered over the course of two years. Her demeanor seemed sincere and her story was compelling. ‘What he did to me was a crime – he broke the law,’ she explained. Commisso will make a compelling, competent and credible witness should the Albany district attorney decide to bring charges against Cuomo, as he should.

She filed a criminal complaint against him, and the DA could well decide to arrest and prosecute the governor under several New York statutes such as forcible touching, sexual assault and battery, and criminal harassment. Cuomo continues to deny the allegations made against him and has sought to depict his many accusers as brazen liars. It won’t work.” It didn’t.
