New York City’s mayoral election is limping to such an ugly finish that it’s almost hard to pick the most distasteful moment.
Well, that’s not entirely true. There’s a clear winner. It’s former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, in an interview on a conservative talk radio station, discussing Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani in office during a crisis as serious as 9/11. “He’d be cheering,” the host suggested. “That’s another problem,” Cuomo agreed.
But after that? Well, maybe talk of President Donald Trump dangling an ambassadorship to tempt current Mayor Eric Adams and his questionable ethics out of the race. Or maybe dopey Trump-loving billionaire Bill Ackman abasing himself day after day in a desperate attempt to drive Republican nominee — and beret aficionado — Curtis Sliwa out of the race.
