governor andrew cuomo continues. governor cuomo has until friday to submit evidence in his defense in the state s senate impeachment inquiry. no word yet on how many pages will be devoted to pictures of other people s comparatively innocuous hugs. meanwhile, a former staffer filed a criminal complaint against the governor with the albany county sheriff. governor cuomo disputes all the allegations but beyond the allegations, there is a larger question to be asked. are we finally done with tough guy politicians? that s the headline of a new column by the new york times. after cuomo said earlier this week i am the same person in public as i am in private, she writes. a statement like that can seem like the problem more than the exoneration because in public mr. cuomo can be combative and domineering so why do we keep falling for boorishness masquerading as leadership? we re joined by ginnia now as
