Former Bill Clinton advisor and Democratic strategist James Carville added another log to the bonfire of speculation about Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s 2016 presidential chances. Carville was on stage last night at the 92nd Street Y for a forum moderated by Buzzfeed’s Ben Smith to talk about the middle class, but when the conversation drifted to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s chances at the Democratic nomination for 2016, New York’s governor came up. “I think Andrew is going to be front and center,” Carville said, when Smith mentioned Cuomo as a contender. But Carville wouldn’t rule out Hillary either, saying, “Running for president is like having sex: nobody does it once and forgets about it.”

As Buzzfeed reported, conservative Catholic League president Bill Donohue sent some intense emails recently to Shalom Center Director Rabbi Arthur Waskow, threatening the Rabbi over an article he wrote in the Huffington Post in which he criticized the Vatican and U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Donohue backed up his arguments with what he said was an old Koch saying, writing, “Ed Koch, my friend, once said that Jews had better not make enemies of their Catholic friends since they have so few of them. Think about that the next time you feel compelled to attack my religion.”

This appears to be a very loose interpretation of remarks Koch made earlier this year that were reported by the New York Post’s David Seifman.

Speaking to public policy organization Beit Morasha of Jerusalem, Koch reportedly said,

“We’re 13 million Jews in the whole world — less than one-tenth of 1 percent. And we need allies. The best ally we can have is the Catholic Church. Oh, you can go back in history when they were not great allies. But they proved to be. It started with Pope John XXIII and Pope [John] Paul II. We have to reach out to them.”
