Book reviewers have been spared the thankless job of reading yet another worthless tome from yet another Democrat hack so you don’t have to.
Harper Collins has canceled plans to publish a book by Chris Cuomo, the disgraced former CNN talker. The network cashiered Cuomo because he was an advisor to his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, during the latter’s sex-assault and harassment scandals. CNN also acted because Cuomo had a sex-harassment skeleton in his closet.
Deep Denial would have been another featherweight volume of limp prose from the Cuomo Crew that purported to diagnose the nation’s problems. And of course, it offered a “roadmap” to solve them. Last year, the former governor offered the laughable American Crisis: Leadership Lessons From the COVID-19 Pandemic. His publisher bailed, too.
With both leftist hypocrites out of the public ear, at long last, Americans get a break from their incessant hectoring.
“Road Map”
The book’s publisher was Custom House, a subsidiary imprint of Harper Collins. The outfit didn’t need a marketing genius on staff to know it had a valuable commodity in the man called Fredo.
It knew the Cuomos had a lowing herd of bovine viewers, a veritable army of mouth-breathing Twitter disciples. They would readily spend $30 to read what they could hear for free on CNN.
But Customs House had to shelve Cuomo’s literary ambitions. “We do not intend to publish the Cuomo book,” a spokeswoman said.
Amusingly, as the New York Times reported, the publisher called it “a provocative analysis of the harsh truths that the pandemic and Trump years have exposed about America — about our strength and our character — and a road map of the work needed to make our ideals match reality.”
Right. Because if there was one thing Americans needed, it was a man called Fredo — who grabs women on the fanny and threatens to beat the tar of cyclists and bar patrons — telling them how “to make our ideals match reality.”
The person who needed that advice was big brother Andrew. He was forced to resign from office because he sexually assaulted or harassed at least 11 women. He also lied about nursing-home deaths due to the China Virus. Then again, maybe Fredo should have looked after his “strength and character.” He lied to his employer about advising his brother, after all.
Not that his advice was worthless.
The former Prime Time anchor has his own troubles with the ladies, as CNN and the world learned after his role as his big brother’s consigliere came to light.
Fredo’s burned book deal isn’t just one unfortunate result of his big lie. He also “resigned” from his Sirius XM radio program.
“The way my time ended at CNN was hard,” Cuomo tweeted. “While I may have a thick skin, I also have a family, for whom the past week has been extraordinarily difficult. So, right now, I have to take a step back and focus on what comes next.”
Thus closes another chapter in Cuomo’s heretofore charmed life.
Zucker Meeting With CNN Employees
Cuomo isn’t the only man who had a “difficult week.” CNN chief Jeffrey Zucker had to tell employees why he took so long to fire the Democrat propagandist.
Zucker said “he wished that Mr. Cuomo had taken a leave of absence after his interactions with the governor’s aides were first revealed this year,” the Associated Press reported:
CNN offered Mr. Cuomo the option to take a leave at the time, but the anchor declined.
Mr. Zucker also said on Tuesday that CNN did not plan to pay severance to Mr. Cuomo or grant any other compensation remaining on his current contract, according to three people who heard his remarks and requested anonymity to describe internal conversations.
CNN might not plan to pay severance, but Cuomo has plans to get some. He is suing the network for at least $18 million, the New York Post reported on Monday.
Cuomo earned $6 million annually; $18 million to $20 million was left on his contract, sources told the Post.
His attorney is Bryan Freedman, the lawyer who squeezed $30 million out of NBC for Megyn Kelly, Puck News revealed.
