Well, here it is.

Andrew Cuomo needs to resign. The allegations against him seem to well-founded, and therefore he's not serving the interest of the people by remaining in office if he wishes to continue to fight them.

Some people thought I was blinded by partisanship when I said that Al Franken was being railroaded out of office by the claims against him.

I was not.

My position on Al Franken remains unchanged: the claims against him were absolutely frivolous and clearly a right-wing smear campaign.

Ditto for Bill Clinton.

Andrew Cuomo, however, is not Al Franken. Nor is he Bill Clinton.

And in the best interests of the people of New York, he should do the right thing and step aside.
