“#Gov. Cuomo is on the verge of being done for good<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Andrew\u2019s in the soup, that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n

Wrap your head around this: The New York Times is reporting that Gov. Cuomo took time out from coronavirus hot-dogging last June to offer tattoo-placement advice to a just-turned-25-year-old female aide of no particular expertise during a private, closed-door sit-down in the state Capitol.<\/p>\n

Cuomo suggested \u201cshe should put the tattoo on her buttocks, so people would not see it when she wore a dress,\u201d the paper says.<\/p>\n

That was probably sound tattoo strategy \u2014 except that 23 years after Monica Lewinsky became a household name it\u2019s pretty astonishing to learn that powerful elected leaders are still maneuvering women of a tender age into private offices and hitting on them.<\/p>\n

Or, as Cuomo conceded to the Times, \u201cmentoring\u201d them.<\/p>\n

And maybe more to the point, doing that and expecting to get away with it. Too bad for Cuomo that this time the young lady wasn\u2019t having any.<\/p>\n

The revelation comes just days after another former Cuomo aide, Lindsey Boylan, accused the governor of coming on to her \u2014 once planting an unwanted kiss on her lips. And, of course, both sets of harassment complaints feed into growing public and political unrest growing out of the administration\u2019s ever-expanding coronavirus nursing-home debacle.<\/p>\n

So while Cuomo may not yet be in a perfect storm, for sure he\u2019s not in a happ<\/a>y place, either. There are even calls for impeachment \u2014 the likelihood of which would normally fall somewhere between preposterous and not-bloody-likely, though these are very strange times.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be clear: The latest allegations don\u2019t add up to Lewinsky d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu. The young lady, Charlotte Bennett, told the paper explicitly that Cuomo never touched her \u2014 just that he appeared desperate to do so. And on more than one occasion.<\/p>\n

The Times says Bennett\u2019s allegations are corroborated by near-real-time texts with family and friends; these describe multiple episodes, in some detail. And the paper reports sympathetic, if noncommittal, texts from senior administration figures counseling Bennett after she complained about the governor\u2019s attentions.<\/p>\n

All in all, the creep factor is high. There\u2019s the tattoo business, of course. And Bennett, who is from Westchester County, apparently tried to cool Cuomo\u2019s jets by telling him she had played middle-school soccer with one of his daughters \u2014 to no apparent effect. Middle school. Think about that.<\/p>\n

Now consider the context: Bennett was two years out of college when she was hired as a staff \u201cbriefer\u201d in the governor\u2019s Manhattan offices. This, no doubt, is a responsible position \u2014 though not one demanding specialized skills. Nevertheless, she soon was offered a job in the Capitol\u2019s executive suite, which she accepted \u2014 and good for her. One takes opportunities as they are presented.<\/p>\n

But you have to wonder what Cuomo himself was thinking. Certainly not about the personal, political and psychosexual minefield he was walking into.<\/p>\n

Of course, neither was Bill Clinton back in the day.<\/p>\n

Again, this is not the same thing. There is the obvious difference, and then there is this: Clinton was a liar, but lovable nevertheless \u2014 he could contritely suck on his lower lip and get away with anything.<\/p>\n

But these are #MeToo days.<\/p>\n

Cuomo was America\u2019s lockdown love-puppy just a blink of an eye ago, but nobody should confuse momentary infatuation with real affection. He\u2019s been collecting mortal enemies for decades \u2014 and perhaps their moment has arrived.<\/p>\n

The governor has asked for an investigation, and he\u2019s going to get one. Boy, is he ever.<\/p>\n

But this much seems clear: One more credible accuser, and it may not even take that, and this pot of soup will be done. Maybe Andrew Cuomo, too.<\/p>\n
