Being called "Fredo" isn't as bad as being called a "CNN Anchor"

 J. Marsolo: Christopher Cuomo is an embarrassment to Italians "CNN's Christopher Cuomo, brother of N.Y. governor Andrew Cuomo and son of former N.Y. governor Mario Cuomo, objected to a man who called him Fredo.  He threatened to punch out and throw the man down the steps. He then repeatedly used the F-word against the man and, even more bizarre, said the term "Fredo" is a slur against Italians comparable to the N-word against blacks.

"As an American of Italian descent, I don't know any Italian, other than Fredo Cuomo, who thinks "Fredo" is a slur against Italians.  Certainly, it is not remotely close to the N-word." . . .

. . . "Fredo Cuomo should not be upset.  He knows he got the CNN gig because of his brother and father, not to mention getting accepted at Yale University.

"There are plenty of Fredos in politics and business.  For example, Senator Ted Kennedy got elected because of his father's money and his brother, JFK.  But there are better names for Teddy, such as Ted the Swimmer, so why waste Fredo on Teddy?

"Or there is former California Governor Jerry Brown who got elected because his father, Pat, had served as governor of California.  But Jerry had the nickname "Moonbeam" thanks to columnist Mike Royko, so why waste Fredo when you have Moonbeam?

"Chris Cuomo isn't very bright.  The brilliant and fearless Kellyanne Conway wiped the floor with Cuomo when he tried to debate her on border security." . . .

Christopher Cuomo surpasses Juan Williams in stupidity  . . . "But Christopher Cuomo, a worthy challenger, may have surpassed Juan.  Cuomo, the Freddo of the Cuomo family, tried to take on the brilliant and fearless Kellyanne Conway regarding the current Dem-media obsession with the enforcement of our border laws.  The Dems and media are trying to divert attention from the I.G. report of the corrupt Comey investigation of Hillary, which is tied to the corrupt Mueller investigation.  Ms. Conway does not back down from the Cuomo types.  She should be attorney general." . . .

. . . "Cuomo ranted the usual Dem-media talking points about the terrible, inhumane Trump.  Ms. Conway calmly explained how the law, passed by Congress, operates.  It is not that complicated.  If one violates the law, then arrest and prosecution follow.  She asked Cuomo what the Dem-media proposal is, to which he had no answer." . . .
