Andrew’s ‘Bigfoot’ Offensive

Gov. Cuomo seems determined to end the year with a nonstop series of moves to “bigfoot” Mayor de Blasio. If he keeps it up, he’ll wind up making even the mayor’s harshest critics feel sorry for the guy.

Round One, the Battle of Lefty the Deer, arguably worked out OK for the gov (though not for the deer): Cuomo scored points with lovers of innocent furry creatures by demanding Lefty’s rescue, even though the city’s “put it to sleep” approach was simply complying with state policy.

But the governor’s looking a bit silly with his posturing on the Second Avenue Subway.

Fine, he controls the MTA, so he can order it to officially open the new line on New Year’s Day for a fine photo op. But it’s far too late to have the new trains actually running a full schedule that day, no matter how many press releases he issues — and straphangers will notice.

As for Cuomo’s order doubling the deployment of state troopers to the city, well: Keeping the streets safe is one thing de Bla- sio has managed fairly well, by avoiding too much political interference with the NYPD, the best police force in America.

Indeed, de Blasio at last came up with a decent zing at Cuomo on the trooper invasion — by suggesting the state cops pitch in on the security detail at Trump Tower.

Feuding between New York’s mayor and governor is a decades-old story, for a host of reasons. It often makes for entertainment, at least for political obsessives — and the coming competition to see who wins top status as The Anti-Trump promises to be quite the show (assuming US Attorney Preet Bharara doesn’t sideline either contestant).

But the feud stops being amusing if it looks like it’s interfering with no good purpose.

Being mayor of New York City has long been known as “the second toughest job in America,” not least because of the unending glare of the local press. Cuomo may sometimes envy that media glare — but at least he can usually escape it.
