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!
Good Lord. What are McCain’s handlers thinking?
This will be a nightmare if NObama’s people pick it up and go with it.
As one poster previously opined, i’m going with Palin even if I have to go through McCain to do it.
