Cuomo Taps Giuliani For Transition Team

[Me.]

Giuliani??????

“Governor-elect Andrew Cuomo has reached across the aisle again for his transition team, tapping former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani for his public safety committee.

Giuliani will co-chair the committee along with Police Commissioner Ray Kelly and former Brooklyn United States Attorney Zach Carter. The committee will recruit and recommend people for posts in public safety and law enforcement – including counterterrorism.

Giuliani's presence could provide Cuomo with some cover from Republican criticism of Cuomo's administration on security issues.

Cuomo began piecing together a diverse, bipartisan transition team last week.”

[Better Believe It]

6. Cuomo already pledged to go to war against public workers and their labor unions.

No surprise at all.

7. Gotta love that bipartisanship! NOT.

What was the point in electing a "Democrat" if the Democrat is only going to be bringing Republicants in on his team?

This one needs to learn a few more lessons from his dad.

[Poboy]

8. WTF is the point of voting for Democrats?????

[Me.]

[roguevalley]

24. well, he's taking the memo out of Obama's playbook about being

a non-partisan ass. we all know how that worked. cuomo, an ass's ass

[Historic NY]

12. Humm using them to smoke out those not to pick.....interesting. ..

picking the loud mouths.

[TwilightGardener]

13. Why does he need cover from Republican criticism? Do Repubs ever

fear Dem criticism? How about when Repubs criticize Dems, our side responds with a hearty "fuck off" for once?

[UTUSN]

14. Oh, good grief. Our Dem pols are CLUELESS about what to do or what turns us off. n/t

[City Lights]

Sometimes I have to wonder why we even bother.
Maybe I am the crazy one.

[WinkyDink]

17. RUDY?? He was SAVED by 9/11, being in disgrace prior. How did he exactly help NYC??

[nyc 4 Biden]

18. Cuomo's a prick! n/t

[groundloop]

19. Has Rudy learned yet how to form a sentence without the phrase "9-11" in it?

[Warren Stupidity]

20. odds are 11 - 9: no.

[KittyWampus]

21. Couldn't Cuomo find Bernard Kerik? Oh, that's right, he's off to prison. Where Guiliani should be

for putting the command center in the Towers which had already been hit by terrorism.

And for not up-grading the radio communications for fire-fighters as was requested and thus helped cause their DEATH on Sept 11th attack.

[BrklynLiberal]

22. -puke- -puke- -puke- ad infinitum. I do not believe that schmuck could possibly add anything

to the transition team...

WTF is up with Cuomo? His "bipartisanship" makes me think he has eyes on the Presidency. I don't thiiiiiiiiink so Andy, boy.

[librechik]

25. all this bipartisanship is making me vomit--Hickenlooper doing the same in CO

look, critters, it won't help. Not anymore. You might as well hire vipers to take care of your children.

[Canuckistanian]

26. I guess Bernie Kierek was unavailable

:wtf:

[devilgrrl]

27. Shit like this that leaves me with the impression that both parties are two sides of the same coin.

Nothing will ever change.
