Albany Times Union editorial board calls for Cuomo's resignation

The Albany Times Union’s editorial board has joined in on calls for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to resign amid a series of controversies surrounding the elected official, writing that Cuomo “has squandered the public’s trust at a time when it’s needed more than ever.” 

The editorial board in a Saturday opinion piece specifically cited revelations of Cuomo’s administration intentionally withholding coronavirus death toll numbers in nursing homes, as well as multiple allegations of sexual harassment against the governor.

Cuomo advisers altered report on coronavirus nursing-home deaths: WSJ


Top advisers to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo influenced state health officials to remove data from a public report that showed coronavirus-related nursing-home deaths in the state had exceeded numbers previously acknowledged by the administration, a bombshell report says.

Details about the July report were disclosed Thursday night in a story first published by The Wall Street Journal.

The final report focused only on nursing-home residents who died inside those facilities and did not include nursing-home residents who were transferred to hospitals after becoming sick, the Journal reported.

Andrew Cuomo was riding high during COVID. Now he's facing scandal of his own making.

The decision by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration to withhold the true COVID-19 death toll at nursing homes faces new scrutiny as a self-inflicted political wound that is contributing to the Democratic governor’s potential downfall.

Political observers suggested Cuomo should have acted sooner to release the number of nursing home residents who died of COVID-19 at hospitals last year as requested by lawmakers and reporters, thus avoiding the scandal of undercounting the deaths to seemingly boost his popularity and fend off political attacks from the Trump administration.

How Cuomo's sexual harassment, nursing home scandals unraveled

 Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s make-or-break political moment amid allegations he sexually harassed young women — including two former aides — and downplayed nursing home death numbers follows a tumultuous year since the first coronavirus case hit New York.

The saga spanned long-simmering accusations that his administration intentionally undercounted nursing home COVID-19 deaths to defend state policies, as well as mounting claims of an history of abusive behavior by Cuomo and his aides towards lawmakers, government officials and reporters.

Monica Lewinsky Has Something Funny To Say About The Clinton Impeachment Trial


On February 13, 2021, President Donald Trump was acquitted in his second impeachment trial after being accused of inciting the riot and violence that took place at the United States Capitol Building on January 6 (per CBS News). The trial, which took place over the course of five days, attracted attention from millions of people around the world – including former White House intern and current activist Monica Lewinsky.

A few decades before the impeachment trials of President Donald Trump, Lewinsky was directly involved in another political scandal involving President Bill Clinton. Along with being accused of engaging in inappropriate sexual acts and harassment of former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones, Clinton was discovered to have maintained a sexual relationship with then-White House intern Lewinsky in 1995 and 1996.

News of the World phone hacking scandal: July 15 as it happened

Mr Hinton served as chairman of News International from 1995 to 2007 and has headed Dow Jones since December 2007.

His resignation came just hours after the resignation of Rebekah Brooks, chief executive of News International, the British newspaper division of News Corp.

The resignation was announced in a statement issued by News Corporation chairman and chief executive Rupert Murdoch, shortly after the shaken-looking mogul apologised to the family of one of the alleged phone hacking victims.

"Les and I have been on a remarkable journey together for more than 52 years," Mr Murdoch said. "That this passage has come to an unexpected end, professionally, not personally, is a matter of much sadness to me."

"News Corporation is not Rupert Murdoch," he said. "It is the collective creativity and effort of many thousands of people around the world, and few individuals have given more to this company than Les Hinton."

Mr Hinton, 67, has worked under Murdoch for more than five decades, rising through the ranks until he was tapped to run News International in 1995, and later Dow Jones after New Corp bought the publisher of the Wall Street Journal.

In a statement, Mr Hinton reiterated his denials that he was aware of the extent of the phone-hacking by News of the World journalists.

If true, this is major news. While Rebekah Brooks might have been Murdoch's favourite daughter, Les Hinton is his most trusted lieutenant. The Wall St Journal is published by Dow Jones, so you would expect their sources to be good and Murdoch did choose the Journal for his defiant interview yesterday.
Les Hinton, Chief executive of Dow Jones and Murdoch's right hand man, is set to resign today, according to Wall Street Journal.
Another email from a reader, this time Drew, suggesting a 2006 story that might play a part in the Jude Law suit, this time with claims that Sienna Miller bought a leather harness and handcuffs from a London boutique.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: Is his career going

The mother of four, 55, is said to have asked her family's housekeeper, Mildred Baena, 50, if her son was fathered by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

During the dramatic showdown, Ms Baena broke down and confessed, according to Radar Online.

Schwarzenegger, 63, came clean about the affair only after Shriver told him she knew the truth about his 13-year secret, insiders said.

"Maria has suspected this for a long time and she asked the housekeeper," a source said.

"The housekeeper admitted it. Maria then went to Arnold and he confessed."

It was also reported Schwarzenegger showered Ms Baena's family with money during her time in their employ.

The Terminator star paid for a lavish party for the daughter of Mildred's sister Maria, who also worked for the Schwarzeneggers.

But now Schwarzenegger has bowed to the inevitable fallout from his paternity scandal, with news surfacing Thursday that he has pulled out of all of his film projects. But is this a temporary crisis management ploy, with the hope that the scandal will quickly blow over? Or is it a tacit admission that the media will be on red alert for years to come, looking for more garish skeletons in the Schwarzenegger closet?

I suspect that the initial reason for backing off from any career moves is based on crisis management, since for now, it would be impossible for Schwarzenegger to do any kind of career promotion without being forced to answer all sorts of uncomfortable questions about his personal life. But as time goes on, you have to wonder if there's any kind of career niche for Schwarzenegger to occupy.

It was already pretty obvious that the Gubernator was too old and out of fashion to play a serious action hero, especially since the one action genre he could plausibly occupy -- the leader of an over-the-hill gang -- had already been thoroughly mined by Sly Stallone in "The Expendables." But having Schwarzenegger playing a washed-up horse trainer with a complicated relationship with an 11-year-old boy who suddenly turns up in his life -- which is the story of "Cry Macho," the film he'd been attached to star in -- seems way too close for comfort as well.

The more you study Schwarzenegger's options, the more it looks like he should find himself a new, less visible line of work until the media can work through the cycle that begins with real reporting and outrage and often ends in tawdry fascination, cynical wisecracking and jaded boredom. But as for that CAA-inspired "once a movie star, always a movie star" business, I can only say: Mel Gibson? Nicolas Cage? Russell Crowe?

I know Yogi Berra said it ain't over till it's over, but in showbiz, when it's over, its over for good.

NY judge orders ex-IMF chief be released from jail

New York prosecutors told New York Supreme Court Judge Michael Obus that an initial location for Strauss-Kahn to be detained had fallen through. Strauss-Kahn is facing charges he tried to rape a hotel maid.

Obus earlier on Friday received a $1 million cash bail and $5 million insurance bond from Strauss-Kahn's lawyers.

Obus had agreed Thursday to release Strauss-Kahn to house arrest with round-the-clock armed guard if he posted $1 million cash bail plus a $5 million bond.

The plan hit a snag after objections from within the apartment building where Strauss-Kahn was initially to stay. Prosecutors say he would be housed temporarily at another location.

The 62-year-old Strauss-Kahn has been behind bars since Saturday after he was accused of trying to rape a hotel maid. He has denied breaking any laws.

The $5 million bond, or $1 million cash bail, was secured by his wife's money, bail bondsman Ira Judelson said.

Lawyers arguing whether Strauss-Kahn should get out of jail while he awaits trial on attempted rape charges have used two famous examples from different sides of the spectrum to make their case Roman Polanski and Bernard Madoff.

Prosecutors brought up Polanski, the French filmmaker whom U.S. authorities pursued for decades after he jumped bail in a 1977 child sex case.

Defense lawyers have mentioned Bernard Madoff, the financier who was freed on high bail and strict house arrest, the same conditions that a judge approved Thursday for Strauss-Kahn.

The judge agreed to free him on bail — provided he's confined to a New York apartment, under armed guard and electronic monitoring.

The Department of Correction said in a statement Friday that it will manage Strauss-Kahn's release following the posting of bail and all required paperwork. A corrections spokeswoman said no details about timing or location of the transfer would be provided, but confirmation would be given of his release from custody.

The 62-year-old French economist and diplomat briefly wore an expression of relief after Obus announced his bail decision in a packed courtroom Thursday. Later, Strauss-Kahn blew a kiss toward his wife.

Strauss-Kahn didn't speak during the court proceeding. But as he headed back to jail for what he hoped would be a final night, lawyer William W. Taylor called the bail decision "a great relief for the family" and said Strauss-Kahn's mindset was "much better now than before we started."

The ex-IMF head is accused of attacking a 32-year-old housekeeper Saturday in his $3,000-a-night hotel suite. The West African immigrant told police he chased her down a hallway in the suite, forced her to perform oral sex and tried to remove her stockings.


One versus Ninety Thousand
Nearly 90,000 people reported being raped in the United States in 2008. There is an arrest rate of 25%.
The United States Justice Department defines rape as
"Rape - Forced sexual intercourse including both psychological coercion as well as physical force. Forced sexual intercourse means vaginal, anal or oral penetration by the offender (s). This category also includes incidents where the penetration is from a foreign object such as a bottle. Includes attempted rapes, male as well as female victims, and both heterosexual and homosexual rape. Attempted rape includes verbal threats of rape."
The U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics (1999) estimated that 91% of U.S. rape victims are female and 9% are male, with 99% of the offenders being male.

Strauss-Kahn's Comparison scandal
1967: married Hélène Dumas
1984: married Brigitte Guillemette
1991: married Anne Sinclair, star political interviewer of Sept Sur Sept, a programme on top French TV channel TF1. She gave up her post when he became finance minister in 1997.
2007: After he became IMF managing director in 2007, Jean Quatremer, a journalist at Libération, wrote: "The only real problem for Strauss-Kahn, is his relation to women. Too forward, he often brushes with harassment. It is a problem known to the media but that nobody talks about (we are in France)." Frederic Lefebvre, an adviser to Nicolas Sarkozy, claimed shortly afterwards in a biography that Mr Strauss-Kahn "wouldn't last a week" if he entered a presidential election, due to the weight of damaging allegations that would emerge.
Mr Lefebvre claimed to have seen photographs showing Mr Strauss-Kahn leaving La Chandelle, a popular Parisian wife-swapping club, and said they would be circulated if Mr Strauss-Kahn entered an election.
Tristane Banon, a writer, claims she had to fend Mr Strauss-Kahn off with kicks and punches when he invited her to a meeting in a room furnished with a double bed and a television. He said he went at her "like a chimpanzee on heat" during the alleged incident in 2002.
Her husband, a Socialist politician, said she spoke to Mr Strauss-Kahn about it and he said: "I don't know what came over me, I lost the plot."
2008: Mr Strauss-Kahn is forced to apologise publicly to IMF employees and his wife for the trouble caused by his affair with Mrs Piroska Nagy, a Hungarian subordinate in the international organisation.
The IMF board called it "a serious error of judgment," but ruled he had not abused his position. Mrs Piroska Nagy later declared: "I believe that man has a problem." Aurélie Filipetti, a Socialist MP, told Le Temps that she had once been the object of a "very heavy-handed flirt" by Mr Strauss-Kahn. "I made sure I was not alone with him in a closed room," she said.
Danielle Evenou, a Frenc
h actress and wife of a former Socialist minister, said on French radio: "Who hasn't been cornered by Dominique Strauss-Kahn?"
2010: Release of The Secret of a Presidential Contender, written by a woman hidden under the pseudonym Cassandre, who was said to be one of his female aides. It cites "rumours of multiple extramarital liaisons beyond the one he confessed to with an IMF employee in 2008." In her book, the author writes: "Like all great political animals, he has trouble controlling himself." The French press quote President Nicolas Sarkozy as warning Mr Strauss-Kahn before his Washington appointment, saying: "You know, over there they don't joke about this sort of thing. Your life will be passed under a magnifying glass. Avoid taking the lift alone with interns. France cannot permit a scandal."
May 2011: Mr Strauss-Kahn is arrested and charged with sexual assault on a New York hotel maid.

Housekeeper Mistress Identified:Arnold Schwarzenegger's Other Woman Outed


While it was just yesterday that Arnold Schwarzenegger let the cat cad out of the bag by disclosing his engagement in an extramarital affair with a longtime housekeeper that itself led to an out-of-wedlock child, today the identity of the other woman has been revealed.

Mildred Patricia Baena—who reportedly goes by "Patty"—is the 50-year-old woman at the center of the media storm today, as this morning she was identified by ABC News, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times and pretty much every major news organization as the woman who gave birth to Arnold's illegitimate son.

The boy, whose name has not been disclosed as he is a minor, is now around 14 years old.

Indeed, the reports proved true: Baena was working for Schwarzenegger and his now obviously estranged wife Maria Shriver in their Brentwood estate for 20 years and had a day-to-day relationship with the family, only retiring this January, around the same time Arnold left the office of the governor and informed Shriver of his betrayal.

Schwarzenegger's admission on Tuesday that he impregnated a member of his household staff 10 years ago, while married to Maria Shriver and before running for California governor, triggered scorn, shock and ridicule in the U.S. media.

The couple's announcement last week that they were splitting after 25 years of marriage and four children followed allegations in 2003 that the bodybuilder turned action hero had made unwanted sexual advances on women in the past.

Shriver at the time defended her husband and helped save his gubernatorial campaign, fueling the outrage on Tuesday over Schwarzenegger's secret offspring.

As for now, while Maria requested privacy for herself and her children in a brief statement yesterday, last night she took a chance on the slings and arrows to turn up in Chicago for a star-studded taping of two of the final episodes of The Oprah Winfrey Show. While it's not exactly the first stop someone looking to shun the media or public eye should go, Maria and Oprah have been friends for more than 30 years and—one would guess now more than ever—loyalty is obviously important to the political scion.

As for Baena, is no longer married—she initially told her friends, family and employers that her then-husband, whom she divorced in 2008, was the father of her child—has three other children, with whom she lives outside of Los Angeles. Otherwise, not many other details were immediately available.
