what the..........?

[Scotswife]

Cuomo has managed to rehabilitate his image - but his past with HUD cannot be erased, and considering the nature of the present crisis this would be a really really dumb mistake.

[dfwgator]

Basically he wants the fox in charge of the henhouse.

[johnny7]

Why not Baines or Gorelick?!

[Postman]

Possibly.....WTF??????

[hershey]

Oh, please. Somebody tell McCain what time it is.

[Impy]

What the where my thoughts exactly.

Not cool John. A leftist New York democrat who will use it on his resume when he runs for something? Wise the F up John.

[scooby321]

he lost his mind

read the Village Voice

Andrew caused the Sub Prime messed

[boomop1]

McCain is still a nitwit, he steps in it too much, little Andy was part of the problem.

"I'm curious," CBS Correspondent Scott Pelley told McCain. "If you want to fire Chris Cox, the chairman of the SEC, who would you replace him with?"

McCain responded: "This may sound a little unusual, but I've admired Andrew Cuomo. I think he is somebody who could restore some credibility, lend some bipartisanship to this effort.”

Pelley: He's a Democrat.

Forget he's Democrat ... Senator, are you really unaware of what he was doing as HUD Secretary??

Andrew Cuomo and Fannie and Freddie

[beaversmom]

I think he is somebody who could restore some credibility, lend some bipartisanship to this effort.”

I hate this bipartisan, reach across the aisle crap! John McCain is always willing to throw a Republican under the bus.

[jersey117]

Maybe he’s doing it to get him out of the NY Atty General spot. I think as AG he would be in more of a position to cover up a Wall Street investigation.

Why is it not surprising that McCain enjoy the company of left-wing Democrats?

Get ready for an Obama White House if this fool keeps it up. He finally got his base back with Palin and could easily hang this whole financial crises on the Dems with Cuomos idiocy in the 90’s. This kind of talk makes me want to take my “McCain/Palin” sign out of my yard.

[pallis]

I haven’t changed my thinking about McCain, and this silliness is why. I’m voting for Sarah Palin, even if it means going through McCain to do it.

[Fred]

[Mr Rogers]

This is proof we have no GOOD candidate in this fight. I’ll vote for Palin, but understand that McCain is an appalling candidate for the Republican party...I’m under no illusion that McCain is either a conservative, or even a reasonably bright adult.

And yet, on his bad days, he’s still a lot better than Obama.

[Riodacat]

Andrew Cuomo for SEC chief would be brilliant.
It's clear that the Administration wants to move ever closer to a ChiCom model of Capitalism.
So, who better to implement an ever growing Gov't led central planning socialist economic model than a Dem.
From each (the taxpayer) according to your ability, to each (the BIG guys) according to to their needs ($700B - probably growing to $2T).
McCain, you magnificent bastard, I read your playbook.

[JZelle]

He can make Rangel Sec. of Treasury while he’s at it.

[bvw]

Possible reasons:

(1) Friends close, enemies closer.

(2) By example -- FDR appoints Joe Kennedy, others to positions of trust. A thief to guard thieves.

(3) Ruin Cuomo and associates by putting him in the spotlight. Not quite "Damn by faint praise", more like taking the target off his back and putting it on Cuomo.

[econjack]

This is just another example of where John reaches across the isle and gets nothing in return. Cuomo is yet another attorney in a city filled with attorneys. The job begs for someone who can understand the economic issues at hand and who doesn't see the solution as little more than a flood of subpoenas. McCain needs to realize that there are a lot of us out here who see such an appointment as another RINO move and don't appreciate it one bit. The smartest thing he could do right now is quash this rumor before it goes too far.
