Andrew Cuomo Takes Communion and Revives the 'Good Catholic' Debate
By David Gibson - Politics DailyOne of Andrew Cuomo's first acts after his inauguration as New York's governor was also one of the least-noticed, even though it could have sparked a serious controversy for the rising Democratic star -- he went to Mass and received communion. The problem with that, as conservative Catholic activists and some bishops see it, is that Cuomo is pro-choice and divorced, and he backs gay marriage. And if that weren't enough, he attended the Jan. 2 Mass with his live-in girlfriend, Sandra Lee, the Food Network host, who is also Catholic and divorced. Just supporting abortion rights has in the ...

If you listened carefully to the president's speech last night, you probably heard him promise that 90 percent of the oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico will be captured by the end of the month.

Democrats on Capitol Hill and environmental groups are smarting over that omission this morning, - Hayward. Tony Hayward. After two months of giving BP the silent treatment, President Barack Obama will finally meet ...
Eliot Spitzer and Andrew Cuomo: Second Comings -- but on Separate Tracks
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyYou've got to give it to two of the most outsized egos in New York politics: They know how to make comebacks. Eliot Spitzer, 59, the former New York governor, is up from a sex scandal two years ago. Andrew Cuomo, 52, who will likely become the state's next governor, is up from a political debacle in 2002. Both are driven, passionate, aggressive, brassy, secretive, manipulative and arrogant. Insiders use more vulgar terms to describe the two heavyweight Democrats, who, of course, have no lost love for each other. Their lives may be parallel but not their fates. On Saturday, Cuomo made ...
Sandra 'Semi-Homemade' Lee: New York's Next First Lady or Girlfriend?
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyAndrew Cuomo, the New York attorney general, and Sandra Lee, the Food Network's foxy star of "Semi-Homemade," were a relatively discreet item for four years, even as they lived together in a Manhattan apartment. While he prosecutes Wall Street criminals and other miscreants around the state, she shows millions of viewers how pre-shredded cheese, bottled dressing, and cream-of-whatever soup can turn mealtime drudgery into manageable, if middlebrow, feasts. And man, can she set a table. This is clearly a woman who never met a centerpiece, holiday-themed china, or festive candlesticks she did ...
