Hey Cats! Yeah, YOU John Catsimatidis . . . . .
The owner of Red Apple Media and WABC Radio in NYC. You.
Failed mayoral candidate. You.
So Cats, when you go to sleep on Election Night with your eyes agog in the dark, remember this much: your morning talk show host, Sid Rosenberg, clinched the election for Zohran Mamdani. Because he had his Lonesome Roads moment on air and the contagion spread to Andrew Cuomo.

In case you haven't noticed, Sid can't keep his big yap shut. As much as you crave attention and power, Sid wants it more and at your expense. And tell me you didn't take note at Madison Square Garden a year ago when Sid took the microphone to hammer Joe Biden and Democrats. In an expletive-laden monologue, Rosenberg went on to say that the Democratic Party consists of “degenerates,” “Jew-haters and low-lives, every one of them.”
Yesterday, Sid forgot that to persuade an audience, sometimes it's saying the right things at the right time -- and sometimes it's knowing when to STFU. His on air venom is now spewed onto Andrew Cuomo who laughed like it was a joke that was funny. Yeah, Mamdani cheering at the next 9-11 is a real knee-slapper.
And what did Sid and the WABC family do today? Anything but apologize. More like moral justification.
Look John, it's one thing to stick a knife in two of your loyal hosts (Frank Morano and Curtis Sliwa). It's another thing to be so rabidly against Zohran Mamdani that you will throw your support to anyone running against him and you and your WABC agents know no level of depravity to win.
Congrats Cats. You'll likely get a phone call of gratitude from Mamdani on Election Night. You earned it.
