Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D., N.Y.) on Friday defended his refusal to resign by invoking the Democratic Party’s proud tradition of consequence-free sexual misadventure.
The embattled governor, who faces numerous accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior, blamed the scandal on "very different theories within the Democratic Party," suggesting that younger, more progressive members were out of touch with the party’s storied history, and the contributions of legendary perverts such as Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and Chris Dodd.
...In refusing to resign while facing multiple investigations and possible impeachment, Cuomo joins a long line of Democratic statesmen who refused to let criminal misdeeds get in the way of politics.
