Morning Joe to Mayor de Blasio: There's only so much Scandal we can handle!

[Rhett E. Column]

NEW YORK, New York - Just finished watching the opening salvo for today's edition of "Morning Joe," on MSNBC talking about the fracas between His Honor Bill de Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo. Morning Joe brought up today's edition of the New York Times which highlights a recent interview the Mayor gave for N.Y.C.'s public access channel accusing Gov. Cuomo of 'hurting New York City' in order to take 'revenge' against him somehow.

The interview that the Mayor gave coupled with the New York Times more formal expose on the cruel and unusual punishment type relationship that these two iron clad Democrats have with each other just speaks to the reality of things on the ground across the Empire State.

And while President Obama and the Main Stream Media continue to highlight the 'good week' he's had from the East Room at The White House, according to this ABC News Online report, that just might pale in comparison to the less than stellar week Gov. Cuomo has had from Dannemora (the Clinton Correctional Facility) to N.Y.C. and back again.

Officiant duties at Stonewall Inn aside, Gov. Cuomo has had a pretty bad week. But to hear it told, and to have it said he's the guy who has the keys to the kingdom. As if he's both judge and jury over all things New York City - according to Morning Joe, in so many words, Bill de Blasio better not hack off the 'Love is Love Gov' anymore than he already has.

But de Blasio is staunch, resolute in his highlighting of all the facts when it comes to all things love hate.

Willing to expend and expunge whatever political capital, so-called, that he may or may not have. - Because it's about principles over politics with this man. - And according to the Morning Joe crew this is somehow risky at best, and political suicide at worst. What with the 'Good Luck Chuck' statement that Governor Cuomo's office handed out before the Mayor takes off for a couple weeks of Summer Va-Kay with the family.

"For those new to the process, it takes coalition building and compromise to get things done in government. We wish the Mayor well on his vacation."

Here's the thing: I make no bones about my love and respect for His Honor Bill de Blasio. I also make no bones about my dislike of Governor Andrew Cuomo. He is, to me, a question mark at best, and problematic at worst. (Politically speaking of course.)

But I am rubbed even more wrong with the perennial all-stars for Morning Joe encouraging Mayor de Blasio to check his manhood at the door when it comes to questioning the cut of Andrew Cuomo's jib. The fact that he misuses his opportunity to publicly serve the People of New York State. That much like his neighbor to the Southwest in New Jersey, Chris Christie, he to is a political bully.

But there's only so much scandal that Morning Joe can handle, Albany may not give us any salt for winter. Medicaid applications may suddenly get back logged IF de Blasio, according to Morning Joe, keeps this political 'V for Vendetta' up.

Allow me to remind, just as Joe Scarborough reminded the viewers on Monday of President Obama's change of heart, politically - according to him, on gay marriage, the Morning Joe faithful of the veritable love fest Joe Scarborough and Company did have with de Blasio while he was running for Mayor of New York City in 2012.

Yet and still though Morning Joe would have us forget all about the usual "liberal" enmeshing, fast forward to 2015, and realize somehow that this, this political set to is bad for business, bad for their fellow New Yorker's, and it would be far better for all IF Bill de Blasio would just go on vacation, calm down, regroup, and have a 'pow-wow' with Gov. Cuomo soon. 'Work this thing out privately.'

I say Mayor de Blasio. Your Honor. Stick sir, to your guns. Continue to hold the Governor accountable. Because both he and the State House in Albany is bad. Really bad. They have, apparently, forgotten all about what it truly means to be a public servant, "you are a SERVANT to the public," as former President Harry S. Truman once said.
