New York Democratic Gov.

“I want you to know as a matter of full disclosure, I am a Catholic,” Cuomo told congregants at the Mount Neboh Baptist Church in Harlem on Sunday. “Catholics basically believe the same teachings that Baptists believe. We just do it without the rhythm. But we try.”

Not having quite enough tact to leave it at self-deprecating humor, Cuomo added, “We are not as without rhythm as some of our Jewish brothers and sisters.” The observation, he suggested, was prompted by the “ugly” dancing of Democratic consultant and Orthodox rabbi Hank Sheinkopf. “I was watching Mr. Sheinkopf here in the front row moving to the music,” said Cuomo. “It was ugly, I’ll tell you the truth.”

Unsurprisingly, Cuomo’s comment raised some eyebrows. The NY Post — which began its coverage of the made-for-headlines quote with an appropriate “Oh vey!” — followed up by asking Sheinkopf what he thought about the joke.- READ MORE
