Andy goes to Hollywood
American Thinker ^ | 1/24/2014 | Bill Zwerger

Posted on 01/24/2014 7:33:45 AM PST by rktman

Hot on the heels of his incendiary "extreme conservatives" comment, this Thursday New York Governor Andrew Cuomo took flight from the frigid, snow-covered confines of Albany for the warm embrace of sunny Southern California......

.....So this begs the question: Is Andrew Cuomo really that arrogant to think that he can get away with using taxpayer money to subsidize his sycophantic Hollywood friends who will then provide tens of thousand of dollars in kickbacks, I mean, contributions to his campaign coffers?

How dare the writer of this article question the veracity of randy andy's arrogance. Works for dem governors but not republicrat ones. We're waitin' Hannity. Make the move. You can list your LI house for sale and leave before it sells. Go ahead, move on out. Take some of your staff with you.

Even H/wood stars and moguls are getting sick of conniving pols coming to Hollywood to extort money and to make themselves look good. Ben Affleck recently said something like he felt the fund-raising was out of hand---could be the stars are feeling "used" by money-crazed pols.

================================================

WIKI BLURB---Hollywood multi-billionaire openly-gay David Geffen was an early supporter of Barack Obama for president and raised $1.3 million for Obama in a star-studded Beverly Hills fundraiser. On February 21, 2007, in an interview with Maureen Dowd of the New York Times, Geffen described Hillary Rodham Clinton and Bill Clinton in unflattering terms: "Everybody in politics lies, but they do it with such ease, it's troubling." He said that Hillary Clinton was "incredibly polarizing" and described Bill Clinton as "reckless" and cast doubt on those who say he has become a different person since leaving office.

=====================================

AND WHO COULD FORGET when Mrs O was roundly criticized for her scary appearance at the Oscars last year---the buzz is that stars in the seats heaved a collective groan when she appeared by satellite. Post-Oscar stories left her out of the red carpet apparel reports---one star's dress was designed by Mrs O's dress designer. But reports ommitted any mention of her or her glitzy dress.

LOYAL DEMOCRAT DONNY DEUTSCH WEIGHED IN ON MRS O'S OSCAR BOMB : "As far as I'm concerned, she was an uninvited guest. Now what I mean by that is (as an advert guru), you have to give the consumer, the viewer, the ultimate respect. They tuned in to watch movie stars, to watch movies. And all of a sudden, politics is thrown at them."

"If I want to watch her on Jimmy Fallon, that's okay. But, (the Awards)---that was an intrusion, and I have a feeling that three out of four Americans -- Democrat or Republican -- don't want to see the First ady (there). I think you have to respect your audience enough to not impose her, that's not a moment we're looking for there---the President or the First Lady," Deutsch said on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight."

DONNY CONTINUED: "....the tone of it, it was almost a monarch quality.....an elitist flavor....(Mrs O was flanked by uniformed military guards). I was watching and going, 'huh?' and I'm a Democrat," Deutsch told host Piers Morgan. "I just thought it was very very tone deaf and I was really surprised they did it," Deutsch concluded.

And yet, they're planning on invading the Superbowl pregame show with the BO2 Show. Just as tone deaf. Nobody wants to listen to that garbage.

The only thing she can cook is from a jar, package or can. The crap she puts together would make most people gag. And, let’s not forget, she never misses a chance to make a drink. Sounds like she is an alcoholic but who wouldn’t be living with that jackass!
