The King Returns In Triumph
They watched the vermin, Charley Rangel, strut "his striped tie, his red pocket handkerchief bright and cheery enough to attract hummingbirds and on his finger, a glittering ring the size of a butter plate." The Swamp roared with laughter, "ethics committees, ethics committees, so much better than a jail cage."
And the laughter continued as Andrew Cuomo said, "[I'm]hesitant to empower Eric Schneiderman to investigate public corruption at the attorney general’s office," and "would prefer a comprehensive change of the government through an ethics bill he hopes to pursue in the Legislature next year." And the swamp exploded, "An ethics probe, an ethics probe, just like the Rangel ethics probe."
Then Cuomo pulled out his CuomoTARP again and threw it over a stinking swamp pit saying,"I want to see what happens with the ethics reform with the Legislature, before I lift my CuomoTARP." And the Swamp chorus roared: "Yeah, yeah, Andrew, Only after Godot returns, next year.
The Swamp laughed as the new Attorney General, Scheiderman, crawled into the Swamp and threw a tantrum crying "that silver spoon feed brat, Andrew, has taken away my toys."
Then Swamp King Andrew's, new Cleaning Up Albany Together video played where Andrew promises at 2:03 minutes to lift the CuomoTARP he's kept over NY corruption for the last four years. When the video concluded, Andrew told the swamp, "Remember in 2008, when I promised in my 'CAP' (Cuomo's Amnesty Program) that 'Heads will role once the Amnesty Program ends,' well, I scored a thousand percent (1000%), because after my last 4 years on the job, absolutely nothing happened." And the Swamp chorus, "Lift the TARP; lift the TARP, Andrew, but only after Godot returns next year.
Then Andrew gave his Second Thank You (The Swamp Version of Cleaning Up Albany) Address to the faithful in the Swamp.
The text of his Second Thank You:
I'm King thanks to your money; your lies; your cheating; you did whatever to make me King.
My loyalty is to this swamp; regardless of what I say outside.
You know my record; the indictments not obtained; the cases settled without restitution or jail time.
You're my extended family.
This Swamp has drainage in all 62 Counties where you knew I would protect you.
Ethics Boards and Commission Investigations weren't jail or restitution.
My game, nothing happens until the legislature creates ethics probes; then I blame them and wait another year for a Commission Investigation.
This Swamp has been around a long time and I'll keep it thriving. Now, Laugh at an earlier swamp gathering; link with Ashley Dupre
Then, cry at a snare in the Swamp: link
