So last night John McCain reiterated his pledge to fire SEC Chairman Chris Cox (even though he can’t fire the SEC Chairman) and added a new twist — he wants to replace him with . . . Andrew Cuomo:
Why Cuomo? In the interview, McCain expresses the view that Cuomo “did a good job” as HUD Secretary during the Clinton administration. I highly doubt that McCain even has an opinion about the functioning of the Cuomo-era HUD, but even if McCain truly is a genuine admirer of Cuomo’s housing and urban development policies why would that make you want to put him in charge of the Securities and Exchange Commission?
