Publisher Halts Promotion of Cuomo's Book "American Crisis"

The publisher of Gov. Andrew  Cuomo’s book on his "leadership" during the pandemic said it has stopped promoting the title.

According to the New York Times, sales of the book, “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the Covid-19 Pandemic,” have slowed severely as the governor finds himself embroiled in overlapping crises, including a drumbeat of accusations about his inappropriate behavior toward younger women and his aides’ manipulation of nursing home data.

Gillian Blake of Crown Publishing Group said in response to an email from The New York Times that there were “no plans” to reprint Mr. Cuomo’s book or to reissue it in paperback,  citing “the ongoing investigation into N.Y.S. reporting of Covid-related fatalities in nursing homes.”

Meanwhile on the West Coast.

The petition to recall California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has collected 1.95 million signatures, according to Recall Gavin 2020. That should be enough to insure the 1.5 million valid signatures to force the recall.

Trump, Cuomo and Newsom all overplayed their hands by attempting to central plan the response to a virus that is of no serious consequence to 99.9% of the population. They should have ignored it, the way they ignore toe fungus in the general population.

Now, they have paid or will pay, while I stock up on more popcorn.
