\u201cWhat, me worry?\u201d That seems to be the motto Gov. Andrew Cuomo has adopted from Mad Magazine\u2019s Alfred E. Neuman: He not only believes he can ride out his numerous scandals, but that he can even joke about them.<\/p>\n

On Monday, he laughed and kidded during a news<\/a> conference when The Post asked if he\u2019d ever had an intimate relationship with a subordinate.<\/p>\n

\u201cIntimate has a number of manifestations,\u201d he cracked. \u201cI think we have an intimate relationship, don\u2019t you think?\u201d Cuomo asked Health Commissioner Howard Zucker, who sat nearby. \u201cNot a sexual relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gee, how cute. Yet these scandals are anything but funny. Attorney General<\/a> Letitia James has now stepped up her probe of the sexual-harassment allegations against him, issuing subpoenas to four accusers.<\/p>\n

And his levity came on the same day as an op-ed column by former aide Karen Hinton cited a \u201cpattern\u201d of discrimination and harassment by Cuomo dating back to his days as secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, FBI probes into the gov\u2019s nursing-home coverup and shady $5.1 million book deal may also be heating up: As The Post\u2019s Bernadette Hogan and Bruce Golding report, agents interviewed the chairman of the Senate Health Committee this month about both matters.<\/p>\n

Then again, lawmakers do seem to be ready to give the gov a pass on his wrongdoing. They\u2019ve already had ample evidence to move toward impeachment, yet they\u2019ve dithered, with Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie refusing to take any action before James concludes her probe. And Heastie\u2019s chamber has so far set aside just $250,000 for its own investigation, only enough to cover barely three weeks of full-time work by its outside lawyers.<\/p>\n

The joke\u2019s getting old. With James\u2019 report coming hopefully soon, and the FBI ramping up, lawmakers need to grow a backbone and start impeachment proceedings. Don\u2019t let Cuomo get away with it.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
