This week Governor Andrew Cuomo begged New York City residents to return to the city in the most shameless act of wheedling by a New Yorker since Mars famously importuned Nola, in Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It, “Please baby, please baby, please baby, baby, baby please.” Used to live in NYC but have lately found the suburbs, or points south, more congenial? Andrew Cuomo will cook you dinner if you come back.
“I literally talk to people all day long who are now in their Hamptons house who also lived here, or in their Hudson Valley house, or in their Connecticut weekend house and I say, ‘You got to come back!’” Cuomo said Monday. “‘We’ll go to dinner! I’ll buy you a drink! Come over, I’ll cook!’”
“I’ll buy you a drink” is the cringiest of those promises since Cuomo has been closing dozens of bars for not complying with his arbitrary virus-related diktats, which include requiring tipplers to order food in accordance with some known-only-to-him provision of the coronavirus that confers immunity via purchase of a Caesar salad. But he’s probably right about one thing: All of the people who are eager to move back to New York City could indeed probably fit in his dining room right now. It has finally occurred to Andrew Cuomo that the months-long electronic tongue-bath he received from media outlets such as CNN, which in the midst of the carnage pushed forward his own brother to serve as his interlocutor/publicist/comedy sidekick, has not fooled New Yorkers of means. Scads of the wealthiest have fled, and they are in no rush to return.

Need to have somebody do a spoof song baby come back
He’s on the radio all the time around here. His whiny, arrogant, condescending voice gives me the dry heaves.
“‘We’ll go to dinner! I’ll buy you a drink! Come over, I’ll cook!’”
Mighty Caucasian of him.
Crime up 500+%; people leave; begs people to return; Trump’s fault if they don’t; he’s the hero if they do.
Get on your knees and beg. Show your sincerity with some self flagellation and rending of garments. Kick that loathsome pride aside, admit your sins and humble yourself before New Yorkers and the World.
And these same idiots will vote Coumo and de Blasio right back into office!
I would never listen to that.
But doesn’t everyone remember that beautiful and poignant song by Player
Baby Come Back (1977)
Spending all my nights, all my money going out on the town
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes, I’m right back where I started again
And tryin’ to forget you is just a waste of time
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong and I just can’t live without you
All day long, I’m wearing a mask of false bravado
Trying to keep up a smile that hides a tear
But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here
Baby come back, oh baby, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong and I just can’t live without you, oh
Now that I put it all together, oh oh
Give me the chance to make you see
Have you used up all the love in your heart?
Nothing left for me? Ain’t there nothing left for me?
Murderer
What was it he said a few years ago? Republicans are no welcome in New York? And he kills the elderly. Oh yeah, gotta live there.
Can you imagine if Trump did what Cuomo did, ordering infected people into nursing homes? Trump would be executed and the White house blown up, instead Cuomo is PRAISED for “leading NY through the corona virus!”
The spider-like depraved heart mass murderer of elderly folks trapped and alone in nursing homes wants more flies for his parlor?
Umm, no.
that was one of the most pathetic responses I’ve ever seen from a politician, begging people to come back to NY...the only thing worse was DeBlasio basically let’em who gives a darn....
Republicans tell a joke, and they hold a three year investigation.
I live in California so I should talk but, how the hell did NY get so far gone that they’d elect people like Cuomo, Nadler and De Blasio?
It boggles my mind what’s happening to America. Has all the good sense gotten “educated” out of them?
I hope the city-state of NYC withers to around 100,000 residents and never regains its power.
Wow, he buys you a 10.00 drink and that will sway you to pay thousands in taxes?
But wait, aren’t the bars closed?
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong and I just can’t live without you
