One feels no sympathy for Andrew Cuomo, but he's being hounded by the Left for awkward flirting. Sure, stealing a kiss can be construed as "crossing the line," but how many first kisses have been stolen over the centuries, not just by the rich and powerful, but by ordinary joes?
It might even be that most first kisses throughout history were stolen, even celebrated. Certainly a public record has been built up that is nothing short of iconic. There’s that famous VJ Day photo of the sailor on Times Square stealing a kiss from a nurse. We’ve seen athletes steal kisses from their female interviewers, in front of God and everybody, on TV. So far as I’m aware, none of the affronted interviewers have tried to deep-six the offender.
Not yet, anyway. Must not be enough money in it. Yet.
Or maybe big-time pro athletes kiss better than politicians? The explanation for that probably lies in the respective backgrounds. Politicians were politicians even in high school when they were class president and such. Meanwhile, athletes were honing their skills on the football field and behind the bleachers.
This isn’t a defense of kiss-stealing, especially if it’s forceful and against a clearly resisting kissee. It’s a call for some common sense. The line in relations between the sexes has always been and always will be in question, partly because it’s different for each woman and partly because women so commonly play hard to get and just need a little push. As Camille Paglia has noted, so much of the seduction ritual is about overcoming (female) resistance. Of course it’s about sex; between men and women nearly everything is about sex, as Paglia has thoroughly documented and argued over the decades.

The lost art of kiss stealing
Better put some ice on that.
Bill Clinton
Really? Athletes “stealing” kisses from female reporters mid-interview? All good?
But yes, the flirt baby was tossed out with the assault bathwater. Unfortunately.
Nope, I’m not buying the premise of this article. Cuomo wasn’t just “flirting” with women he met at a party, or at a bus stop. In at least a few cases he was “flirting” with subordinates, women he had great power over.
That’s wrong, no matter who you spin it.
Not as bad as murdering 15,000 grandparents.
Not as bad as 26 Clinton trips to pedo-rape island.
Not as bad as the Podesta brothers and their pedo-rape art collection.
Not as bad as black male prostitutes turning up dead at Schiff’s biggest donor’s house... twice.
Not as bad as Gillibrand and her NXVIM sex cult.
Not as bad as Wasserman-Schultz doing those Paki spy brothers and giving them complete access.
And not even close to Hunter Biden and his multiple sex slave rape on video.
Don;t fall for this communist morality play. This is pure Stalin vs Trotsky fighting for control of the party and nothing else.
YES!! they probably did feel powerless! If he was a stranger they could to tell him to stuff it. But the boss? Not so much.
Yeah sure, so if your boss made a move on you, you’d just demurely submit?
And don’t forget, this is a 25 year old hired as a senior health policy “expert” for the Governor. Think many 25 year old males get jobs like that?
I don’t hear much complaining when young cute leftist females dress hot and get jobs they aren’t remotely qualified for. Funny how that “power” thing works.
I never had to “steal” a kiss in my life. This article is a pile of steaming Obama.
Exactly, these were underlings.
Sorry, guys. Stolen kisses aren’t fun for the woman, unless she is actually playing along, in which case it’s a pantomime steal. But a genuine stolen kiss is a big turn-off to most women.
Yuck!
Not the point....Boss and employee...!!!
This whole “sexual harassment” and “sexual misconduct” claim is ridiculous. Women have been demanding equality for 40 years. If you want to be “equal” then stop whining and stop claiming victimhood - stand up for yourself. You can’t be equal if you’re a victim. Guys don’t “misbehave” with women they know won’t put up with being disrespected. And no job is worth it.
Cuomo and his gang should be held on charges for manslaughter for upwards of 30,000 NYers. Instead they are distracring us with this BS.
A gold metal stupid article.
Yep, throw him in prison for manslaughter and let Ben Dover keep his lonely heart company.
Like this poor powerless wide-eyed waif. It’s usually not easy to get a one on one with any Governor, but for her, allllll the time she needs. She sidles up to the Governor who she knows is single and horny, and starts telling him reallly personal things like her being a rape victim back in college. Then she’s positively -shocked- when he tells her he would date someone her age.
Don’t kid yourself, women know from a tender age how to take the conversation any direction they please.
And women have no problem icing out men they aren’t attracted to. They also know how to keep a boss thinking MAYBE he’s going to get her on that business trip as they reap promotions, raises, and advantages.
If it got that personal with him, guaranteed these women were playing the game just as much.
I’m more worried about the 15,000 grandparents he murdered.
The murder is priority one, but I’m confident that Cuomo sexually harassed this girl.
Bingo.....
