Albany Correspondents Host 'Fistful of Cuomos'

The Empire | Mar 29, 2012

Albany's political correspondents have sent out invites to their annual variety show, which lampoons Albany politicians. Our own Karen DeWitt gets double billing as controversial former Schools Commissioner Cathie Black and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the May 8th show, which is titled "A Fistful of Cuomos."

If you're looking for a preview, DeWitt says: "We can't release lyrics until the show, or that would spoil the fun."

The LCA Show, at 111 years, is the longest running show of it's kind in the nation.

It's been around since 1900, "before people had movies, radio or, of course television," DeWitt says. "Back then, people had to make their own fun." Apparently, they still do.

Confirmed rebuttal speakers are Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, and what DeWitt is calling "Klavinoluccilesky"- the Senate Independent Democrats- Senators- Jeff Klein, Diane Savino, David Valesky and David Carlucci. She says Governor Cuomo is invited, but not yet confirmed, but most Governors also deliver some kind of rebuttal. We can't wait to see the pictures.
