Poor Prince Andrew Cuomo. He really thought he had a chance to succeed Mrs. Bill Clinton in the US Senate representing New York. He's an actual New Yorker (I think), which would have helped, I think. He has an actual resume, unlike Princess Caroline of Kennedy. However, Andy forgot that he's a Democrat. He forgot that Democrat Governor His Accidency David Patterson could not be expected to appoint a man to a Senate seat held by a woman, especially radical feminist icon Hillary. Too bad, Andy. That's what you should expect when you're a member of the EGG Party.*
In a way, it's too bad that the Accidental Governor didn't appoint Princess Caroline to the Senate seat. It would have been a rare case of trying to fill a vacancy with a vacancy.
* For those of you who don't know this Billy Jeff Clinton administration chestnut, EGG stands for Ethnicity, Gender, and Geography. It's how the (first) Clinton administration (we're at the start of the second now under President BO) fillled many of its appointive posts.
