20. We had a guy like that, too

I had to laugh when I read your post. Looking back, I think he just didn’t have the savior faire to get women to like him, so rather than do totally without, he figured he’d give honesty a shot.

These stories from women about Cuomo all have one thing in common. They reveal his come on methods are from another day and time. Telling women they are beautiful is an example. What’s the appropriate response to that? “Oh, governor, I’d make a lovely armpiece?”

Or asking women in their early 20s if they liked older men. That’s just not something young women think about.

One of the first accounts was one that was really dated, too, but I can’t recall it at the moment.

I think there might be a certain amount of social ineptitude that runs in the family. His brother Chris says a lot of thoughtless things, too. Tonight when he transferred the show to Don Lemon, he called him “my boy.” Truly cringeworthy.
