The Brady’s<\/a> are bestowing Hillary<\/a> with an award and Andrew is going to give it to her<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… Gov. Cuomo<\/a> is set to make a joint appearance with Hillary Clinton Thursday night at a pro-gun control gala in the city. Cuomo will help introduce Clinton, the Democratic presidential front-runner, when she receives a \u201cleadership\u201d award named after his father, former Gov. Mario Cuomo<\/a>, at a Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence dinner at Cipriani<\/a> on Broadway. “Hillary Clinton has spent decades taking on the gun lobby and fighting in Washington for sensible gun control,\u201d Cuomo told the Daily News. \u201cThis is a battle to save lives and I’m proud to help in any way I can.” …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I seriously doubt that.<\/p>\n

Some speculate this an effort by Andrew to get himself onto the ticket.\u00a0 I don’t see that for several reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The V.P. candidate is supposed to bring something to the ticket that is lacking: money, experience, special interest support, etc.\u00a0 All Andrew is bringing is more asshole.<\/li>\n
  2. Democrats do not like him<\/a> and Hillary has enough problems with her base already.<\/li>\n
  3. It is my understanding that Andrew asked Mr. Bill<\/a> before unveiling SAFE if now was the time to push gun control.\u00a0 He said it was and right after Andrew announced SAFE Mr. Bill was out there saying Andrew made a mistake<\/a>.\u00a0 Before SAFE he was considered by many to have presidential aspirations and Mr. Bill squashed that.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    “… As for why the organization is honoring Clinton, Brady Campaign President Dan Gross<\/a> said in a statement that “throughout her career as a public servant, Hillary Clinton has repeatedly put the safety of the American people above the influence and interests of the corporate gun lobby …””<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    No, they are doing it for public relations.\u00a0 They have largely been supplanted by Bloomberg<\/a>\/Everytown<\/a> and are desperate for attention.<\/p>\n
