To be frank — and this was years ago, Rachel — my daughter is 27 and she was a baby (so this would have probably been February or March 1993), Cuomo seemed like an idiot. He’s not physically attractive (when I realized what he was doing, my skin started to crawl). I remember this visceral fear because even then, there was a bad rap about the Clinton types, that they were dangerous and liable to do anything to women. As a busty blonde, I was terrified some one of them would do something to me.

And I grew up in Hollywood and was around all types of rapacious characters and I was scared to go. I had never experienced the type of prejudice I saw (the extreme black/white segregation of the city and the way they acted with the moms who I thought would be the featured testimony).

Cuomo just didn’t seem smart. He seemed like a “regular” guy who was just stuck there and didn’t want to be there (making sense — it was obviously a political patronage job). The only person who “seemed” to care was Barney Frank. But now I know Frank was the architect of Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac policies that ended up taking 10 million people’s homes so he’s an a&&hole too.

How many people’s lives were cost by that terrible process? Not to mentioned ruined? And this dude was sitting there messing around like a high school kid and playing peekaboo to see my cooter.
