Etiquette question … is it tacky to give someone a birthday gift paid for by campaign donations, rather than your own vast personal wealth? I ask only because it looks like Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y., used money donated to his campaign to buy Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., a present from Tiffany for her 50th birthday last year.

Uh-oh, looks like Dems will be inventing another right-wing scandal to take the attention off of this.

Well if Hitlery can pay for Chelsea’s wedding from her “charitable” foundation, nothing wrong with this either.

It’ll be hell when they run out of taxpayer money to spend. Have to raise taxes to support their ruling class lifestyle. Meanwhile, to the public,”Let them eat cake.”

Maybe he wanted to avoid a confrontation with Mrs. Cuomo.

Some wives are less than understanding if their husband gives a gift to another woman (regardless of their supposed relationship) - especially if the money to pay for it came from her joint account.

[Mr. K]

what are you, 12?

[mass55th]

Hardly. I’ve been here longer than you.

I didn’t think he was married, just living with that woman who had a cooking show.

"Maybe he wanted to avoid a confrontation with Mrs. Cuomo."

There is no Mrs. Cuomo. He used to be married to Kerry Kennedy, 3rd daughter of RFK, but divorced her in 2005. He started seeing Food Network chef Sandra Lee in 2005, and the two have been living together for several years now. She divorced her husband in 2005 as well.

Tiffany pen is crap.

Should’ve bought one from Mont Blanc, Cartier, SI Dupont.

His taste is all in his mouth anyway...

Wow a rare 97

"Wow a rare 97"

Yeah, I was 50 when I signed up.There's nothing better than getting old with FR.

[Dawgreg]

Sandra Lee. He stood by her when she had breast cancer. Maybe the treatment opened her eyes as to the kind of life she might have with a Kennedyesque husband..........

[SharpRightTurn]

Leftists are always generous with other people’s money.

[Postman]

There’s a woman in the household but I don’t believe there’s a Mrs. Cuomo

[hsmomx3]

Yes, that is her name. Thanks!

[Lurker]

I was here before sign ups were required. I’m a ‘98 I think.
