1. Love those guys! nt

[Talitha]

2. That was gold!

Love these guys.

[GoCubsGo]

3. Glad to see that Chris is feeling better.

That was funny! Thanks!

[rusty quoin]

4. Yeah, that's funny. We needed that.

[George II]

5. I really enjoy those two when they're on together - the love each other as much as they taunt...

...each other.

Andrew is emerging as one of the greatest governors in the country and in NYS history. And when he was first elected I didn't like him all that much.

Mario would be proud of the two of them.

6. Doesn't Andrew have something more important to do

, than yucking it up with his brother on CNN. NY is a disaster. 797 died yesterday, it isn’t time for clowning around.

7. Nothing wrong with a little stress relief

You should try it.

9. Lighten up Francis!

A governor who I really never liked too much but has done a hell of a job on a life taking situation. Talking to he f’n brother who is a worldwide known journalist(who I’m also not a huge fan of). But he seem to be coming out of the virus that is rightfully scaring the shit of everyone.

If you can’t see the value of that then we just see things differently. I’m glad to know that a guy about my age can come thru this without hospital care.

10. Lil bro Chris is doing his familial

job ... embarrassing his serious older brother at the most inappropriate time and situation. You know like your little cousin farting at the funeral. He's a cheeky monkey

12. Ever hear of the Holy Fool?

Certain kinds of clowning around is sacred. This falls into that category. No one is being disrespected. Showing his brother is human, has foibles and can play along is the antithesis of the Orange Menace.

16. He's not working hard enough to meet your expectations?

Bite me.

Oops, I mean bless your heart.

[Sewa]

18. It isn't about me. It's about the poor people in NY

I guess that point escaped you.

[mahina]

20. I've been catching his daily addresses

And updates and it’s my impression based on this evidence that he is working very hard and cares greatly.

Oooh, an ad hominem attack. Hmm.

How is it going in your community?
Are there many opportunities to support health care workers and essential workers? What has it been like for you doing that work?

We’ve got an ever-expanding team sewing masks for the local hospital workers and a group of brainiac techies are building respirators. They tested the prototypes at the hospital today. It went well. In my little neighborhood we’re building a new community garden, at 6’ distance minimum. One challenge is finding a way for people with disabilities to participate.

How about your community?

And welcome to DU.

21. Well he is only working 27 hours a day

and his brother is down with Corvid-19 and his daughters lost a cousin and her child. I think he could fit some more things in<SARCASM>.

In other words, don't DIS our Governor! We will do it soon enough.<TRADITION>

27. +1000

22. It's true...

people shouldn't be allowed to have fun during a Pandemic.

8. That's the best!

And so Noo Yawk!!!

[Demovictory9]

11. is that the father in the background? He was Gov also, correct?

[ARPad95]

17. Yes, their father Mario Cuomo...NY governor 1983 - 1994 (3 terms) /nt

[Demovictory9]

19. that's right.. Mario. Forgot the first name. both NY and CA - father / son governors

[Catherine Vincent]

13. I have a crush on Andrew

He's very likeable.

[Dem2theMax]

14. That's what siblings do to each other.

[SunSeeker]

15. LOL

[live love laugh]

23. There's something in my eye ❤️ nt

24. "Huk-A-Poo was your signature look back then"

Oh Lord.... that was my little brother's signature look back then, too. (Just checked, he's the same age as the Governor.)

[demmiblue]

25. OMG...

I don't know why I didn't look it up!

Interesting factoid, the Met has some pieces in their collection (two of them I would actually wear).

Honestly, though, the name immediately made me think of Huckleberry Pearls (and her shitstain father).

26. this one is quite representative of the early 70s Huk-A-Poo vibe
