Governor Cuomo Says Boston Bombing Part of 'New Normal'
2013-04-19
[POLITICKER] Mayor Michael Nanny Bloomberg may have canceled his morning radio appearance today in response to the ongoing manhunt for a suspect involved in Monday's deadly bombing attack on the Boston Marathon, but another top New York official, Governor Andrew Sonny Cuomo, scheduled his own radio interview on The Capitol Pressroom soon after. Mr. Cuomo directly addressed the high-profile situation in the Bay State by employing a phrase he previously used to describe climate change in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy: "the new normal."

"It's a terrible situation in Boston. And, unfortunately, ... one gets the sense that this is more reflective of the 'new normal,' if you will," he explained. "So much of society is changing so rapidly. We talk about a 'new normal' when it comes to climate change and adjusting to a change in the weather patterns. 'New normal' when it comes to public security in a post-9/11 world. Where these random acts of violence, which at one time were implausible, now seem all-too-frequent."

Additionally, Mr. Cuomo said New York police units are on stand-by and assisting authorities in Boston. The governor further noted that he worked with Massachusetts Governor Deval (Whoa! Nice drapes!) Patrick during their shared time in former President Bill Clinton's administration some years ago.

"I have been in contact. Our offices have been in contact and our respective officials have been talking," he said. "I'm wanted him to know that we're here for him. The authorities have been cooperating. We have a very good relationship with Massachusetts. They've been very kind to us in many circumstances ... I'm a big fan of Deval's. We were together in the Clinton administration so I know him personally and he's doing a very good job."

#5  So now that the evidence is irrefutable the narrative has shifted from the angry, lone wolf, right wing white guy to the "new normal". It's the new normal because of our failed immigration policies. Mexicans, Somalis, Soddies, Chechnyans...anybody and everybody is free to walk right into this country. We pay for their EBT cards, their health care and their kids' education. Then we act surprised when they commit atrocities. But, hey, as long as they vote donk it's the new normal. Get used to it, peasants.

#4  That remark rides alongside the "acceptable level of casualties" from the gated-community-with-bodyguards set.

#3  No, it ain't "normal," you goddam IDIOT.

It may be what's going on right now in Massaholia, but it's NOT "normal."

Sounds like Cuomo's admitting to his (and Bloomie's) wet dream about declaring permanent martial law. Farkin' control freaks. >:-(

#1  That is the 'normal' of a failed ruling caste which refuses to face hard nasty truth.
