Tuesday, December 6 (evening) -- BIRTHDAY BASH for CANDIDATE ANDREW M. CUOMO
The STONEWALL Veterans' Association was thoughtfully and generously invited to be represented at this fun-filled, pre-holiday event celebrating former H.U.D. Secretary Andrew Cuomo's 48th birthday and, of course, his imminent New York statewide campaign for Attorney General. Among the many confirmed luminaries are: former N.Y.S. Governor Mario Cuomo (who knows the S.V.A. for nearly three decades), former N.Y.S. First Lady Matilda Cuomo, sister Maria Cuomo-Cole, brother and ABC-TV entertainment reporter Chris Cuomo, many former Clinton Administration staffers such as Secretary of Defense Madeleine Albright, former Suffolk County Executive Patrick Halpern, N.Y.S. Senators such as Carl Andrews, N.Y.S. Assemblymembers such as Keith Wright, N.Y.S. Mayors such as Byron Brown (Buffalo), N.Y.S. Commissioners such as Evan Davis, N.Y.C. Councilmembers such as David Weprin, Councilmembers-Elect such as Melissa Viverito and many other public officials. Labor leaders include Dennis Rivera and Jennifer Cunningham. Business leaders include Kenneth Cole and Dan Kloris. Community leaders include Ken Sunshine and Yasmin Cornelius. Also look for Bella Abzug's old Press Secretary Harold Holzer! GLBT political groups with tables include the Stonewall Democratic Club ("SDC", no relation to the S.V.A.). Entertainment stars the legendary Tony Bennett with confirmed songs such as "The Best Is Yet To Come", "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" and "Fly Me To The Moon". Attending on behalf of the S.V.A. is President Williamson Henderson and assistant Andre Christie. The S.V.A.'s coordinator is Secretary Dianne Yodice (as also in I-talian and ga-ga over Tony). The venue is the beautiful and huge Metropolitan Pavilion on West 18 Street off Avenue of the Americas in Chelsea, New York. Social hour starts @ 6:30 p.m.; sit-down dinner and speeches @ 7:30 p.m.; desserts @ 9 p.m. For the S.V.A., this event is like a reunion with a lot of longtime friends and supporters. Special thanks to Mr. Joe, Lady Ashley and Miss Andrea!
Besides, wasn’t having Lieberman at the Republican convention enough?
The reactions to this announcement by the McCainiacs is pretty funny. I think the Conservative movement has lost its mind. Populism rears its ugly head.
Wasilla, Alaska was named 2003 Honorary Duct Tape Capital of the World. Sarah Palin should apply some to McCain’s mouth before he destroys his campaign!
"Read my lips..."
"Read my lips..."
Isn’t Cuomo the pantload who went on a city-by-city Santa Claus tour at the end of Clinton’s run, passing out “homeless” money by the hundreds of $million$? McCain’s handlers better grab their candidate and slap him awake.
Our choices in this election are between a liar and an idiot and that just on the GOP side.
It’s crap like this that makes me want to not vote. This is crazy!!
If McCain had done any research, he would have realized Cuomo’s involvement with the Fanny and Freddie fiasco and would have stayed far away from him.
Yep...
It is sort of like having Jim Johnson in charge of your VP search...
...but worse!
But...because Cuomo is a prominent Dem, the MSM probably will not attempt to destroy him or even make the Fannie/Freddie connection (seeing how they aren't doing it with others Dems).
McCain has said all along that he would have democrats in his cabinet. Why is this a revelation for some? It wouldn’t surprise me a bit if more than half the cabinet were democrat.
My mistake!
OBAMA IS A MARXIST!
“OBAMA IS A MARXIST!”
Yeah, I know that. What about McCain?
I wonder if he will announce today that he is considering jimmy carter for sec of defense
Another example, like amnesty and ANWR, where McCain is determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
I hate this bipartisan, reach across the aisle crap!
I agree. This is akin to reaching blindfolded into a basket of snakes and hoping there’s not a cobra in the bunch.
