What’s Good For The Strunz Is Good For The Gander
By Mitch Berg
Chris Cuomo, CNN host and scion of yet another “prog” political dynasty gone to seed, needed a snickers bar when someone referred to him as “Fredo”.
He later referred to “Fredo” as the Italian equivalent of the N-Bomb.
Well, today, anyway:
“Fredo” comes from The Godfather. The movie came out in 1972. While Italian-Americans experienced all kinds of discrimination in their day, “their day” was between the 1840s and 1940s, when Italian immigration was driving all sorts of transformations in American life.
By 1972, Italians were pretty well established.
Anyway, Chris Cuomo isn’t “Fredo” – incompetent, probably mentally defective. That’s not very accurate.
I’m thinking more like Carlo Rizzi.

Man, and the election is only really in the pre-season phase.

Note too, if you follow that link, that Trump addresses the primary problem with the Red Flag laws too.

Cuomo seems more like Paulie Gatto to me.

In Chris Cuomo’s case the “N” word is nincompoop.

Wow. CNN really went to the mattresses over that.

I’m going to go to Cossetta’s tonight and get their Hot Fredo sandwich.

Hope he learns to like it, because he’s Fredo forever now.

Apropos not much, and not to blow my own horn, but this is one of my favorite post titles in forever.
That is all.
