hero-worship is not warranted here

cuomo’s recent ascension to american ‘hero’ reminds me of rudy giuliani’s media-savvy visibility (vs junior’s bumbling ineptitude) in the chaos that followed 9/11. sadly, that swashbuckling leadership/image didn’t go v far. at the end of the day, u can’t polish a you-know-what. with cuomo, i’d like to remind everyone of his anti-BDS executive order and blacklist. he’s the one who said: ‘If you boycott israel, new york will boycott you.’ palestine is a kind of litmus test that tells us exactly where people fall on the humanity spectrum. cuomo fails miserably. he also refused to attend the puerto rican parade because he couldn’t stand oscar lopez rivera being honored. there was a great article in mondoweiss about cuomo’s presidential ambitions and the promotion of his brand. pls see comments. all i’m saying is, listen to him if he makes sense but give it a few months and then reconsider. at the end of the day, u can’t polish a you-know-what.
