Cuomo Reportedly Once Compared Himself to Sonny Corleone From ‘Godfather’
New York Post ^ | April 13, 2021 | Bruce Golding

Gov. Andrew Cuomo once likened himself to hot-headed mob scion Sonny Corleone in “The Godfather” — and bragged about his sexual prowess during a strategy session with his staffers, according to an explosive new report Tuesday.

The “Godfather” incident took place shortly after Cuomo, the eldest son of the late Gov. Mario Cuomo, was elected state attorney general in 2006, the New York Times Magazine said.

A former associate reportedly described how Cuomo enthusiastically described his power to intimidate people under investigation who visited his office.

It's interesting he would pick someone brought down by their fatal flaw. And his brother can't like this, since he's been compared to Fredo.

New York has three major toll roads: The New England Thruway, New York State Thruway, and the Niagara Thruway.

Not to mention toll bridges, toll tunnels, and eight toll bridges, tunnels, and toll roads coming in from other states.

He's crazy!

That was James Caan, the hot headed son. I like how he beat up his brother in law.

A governor of New Jersey would never compare himself to Sonny Corleone! There are more toll booths in New Jersey than grains of sand on the Jersey Shore. I think the state flower is a toll booth.

Of course - his brother on CNN is "I'm smart, not like everybody says" Fredo, so naturally Andrew would have to be Sonny. Big, dumb Sonny.

Sounds about right. A hothead, bad strategist who made things worse, one tenth the IQ of dad and none of the common sense.

Sonny wouldn’t have harassed female staffers or orchestrated the nursing home massacres.

The Corleone have much higher moral standards than do the Cuomos.

“I’m just like the movies!”

I doubt this thug has read anything longer than a comic book.

Say what you will about the mob, but they only kill their own... unlike Cuomo.

I’ve said for some time that Clan Cuomo could - or SHOULD - have fallen off on the CRIMINAL SIDE of the fence instead of the POLITICS SIDE.
That said, where Democrats are involved, it’s a distinction without a difference!

In your dreams, Fredo.

Michael: I’ve always taken care of you, Fredo.

Fredo: Taken care of me? You’re my kid brother and you take care of me? You ever think about that, huh? You ever once think about that? “Send Fredo off to do this, send Fredo off to do that. Let Fredo take care of some Mickey Mouse nightclub somewhere. Send Fredo to pick somebody up at the airport.” I’m your older brother, Mike, and I was stepped over.

Michael: That’s the way Pop wanted it.

Fredo: It ain’t the way I wanted it! I can handle things, I’m smart. Not like everybody says – like dumb. I’m smart and I want respect!

Maybe he's more like Solozzo "I am the hunted one".

“Where’s a toll booth when you need one?”

That is exactly the first thing I thought upon reading the headline!

Let us face it, folks. There are a lot of leftists that have stepped way over the ‘woke’ line. These folks are rapidly building their own ‘toll booth’.

“Bragged about his sexual prowess...” Well, he IS a big prick.
