'Just go already'! Outgoing NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo announces farewell address, gets informed it's not necessary

It was two weeks ago that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that he would resign in 14 days.

That time has come, though perhaps Cuomo will go for another Emmy in his farewell address on his way out the door:

I will deliver a farewell address at 12:00pm ET.

Some people just can’t go away quietly, though that’s what many would prefer:

"Bye."

The penalty for mass murder in New York if you're a politician is you have to resign for unrelated reasons and go live comfortably in your mansion before starting a new career, likely in the propaganda industry. https://t.co/uLjoqGa3b8
