It’s about time that we all start watching and listening to Cuomo’s coronavirus briefings.

Lord knows his briefings are more helpful, informative, and honest than that other guy’s briefings.

This is where we are: The Governor of New York holds COVID-19 press conferences with actual valuable information while a squatter in the White House holds nationally televised grievance sessions and spews lie after lie about anything and everything. Amerika.

“They had things, levels of voting that if you ever agreed to it you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.”
— The single sentence uttered by Super Scientist Dr. Cadet Toadglans mit der Bone Spurs dessen Onkel am MIT unterrichtete in his entire miserable fucking life that didn’t contain a lie.

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo has been diagnosed with Covid-19, the network said in a memo to employees on Tuesday.

He is feeling well and will continue to anchor his 9 p.m. program “Cuomo Prime Time” from his home.

It’s no wonder that watching Andrew Cuomo’s daily briefings can make some people crave Chianti and meatballs.

Besides coolly explaining the facts in this terrifying and stultifying plague season, the governor of New York evokes the feeling of a big Italian family dinner table.

And that is the intended effect.

He doesn’t want it. He said “No” multiple times last night.

I enjoy his family stories. I know it’s wacky, but it’s calming and you feel like he is a guy who cares. I’m sure he has his cold and calculating side, but I do believe he really does have sincerely deep feelings about his family. I never get that from shitface donnie.

About that. When the My Pillow guy came on for his infomercial/prayer meeting last night, my spouse turned to me and started a conversation:

Spouse: This guy’s a total asshole.

Me: Yup.

Spouse: Didn’t you buy one of his pillows?

Me: Yup.

Spouse: In fact, didn’t you buy 2 more of his pillows after the first one came?

Me: Yup.

Spouse (after a brief pause): You’re goin’ to hell, you know.

Me: Yup.
