SO . . . you'll remember I reported Westchester resident Kerry Ken nedy, previous prior former An drew Cuomo ex-wife, might run for lieutenant governor and that this would 100 percent kill Andrew's run for governor and at least 22 percent repair David Paterson's kerfuffle with the Kennedys following Caroline's aborted hustle. Well, kiddies, mother told you this a week ago. Not one peep in rebuttal from Kamp Kennedy. No denial. No, "She's an ass and doesn't know what she's braying about." In fact, now I'm being told that a force behind it is Robert Kennedy Jr.

Read this motley collection of personal testimonials, and the skepticism deepens. Being Catholic Now includes men and women who reject the existence of God, avoid Mass, and embrace abortion and same-sex marriage. "Cafeteria Catholics" are the rule here, not the exception. Since the formation of the Reagan alliance, Democratic leaders have struggled to reconnect with Catholic voters. In the final months...

Is Kerry Kennedy Cuomo's estranged husband, Andrew Cuomo, the latest victim of a Kennedy Curse? He just might be, according to Edward Klein, author of the controversial book ``The Kennedy Curse: Why Tragedy Has Haunted America's First Family for 150 Years,'' published today. ``Andrew Cuomo violated the first commandment of the Kennedy Bible - `Thou shalt not lose,' '' Klein said in an interview yesterday. When Cuomo dropped out of the race in his New York gubernatorial bid ``he became a loser and he was dumped by his wife,'' Klein added. But Cuomo's troubles pale in comparison to the ``scourge''...
