A coalition of liberal activists for the poor sent a letter this afternoon to Gov. Cuomo calling on him to not only repudiate the comments made by a Republican supporter who linked the left's class-based politics to the Nazis, but also return his donations.

It's one of the rare times the progressive groups find themselves on the same page as Republican Rob Astorino, who earlier in the day also called on Cuomo to disavow the comments to Politico made by billionaire Kenneth Lagone, a co-chairman of Republicans for Cuomo.

Cuomo aides have not commented on the issue and the governor wasn't asked about it during a brief question and answer session with reporters in Utica.

1. Langone must be having the same trouble I'm having.

That would be..... trying to find meaningful differences between the two state parties.

What is it about Cuomo that he LIKES so much?

3. Well, she's right; no surprise there.

And, Cuomo actually has a sense of humor of sorts. That IS a surprise.

And... it may explain a few things about his governance that have heretofore been inexplicable.
