    Even though he referred to his own self as Fredo on the past.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        I think I heard that somewhere.

        I'm always still in trouble again

            Source: Chris Cuomo once referred to himself as ‘Fredo’ in radio interview


            CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, who was captured on a viral video getting into a profanity-laced exchange with a person who called him “Fredo,” once referred to himself as the hapless “The Godfather” character in a radio interview.

            Cuomo was interviewed by Curtis Sliwa on his AM 970 radio show in January 2010 about whether his brother Andrew might seek the Democratic nomination for governor.

            Sliwa said he dubbed the Cuomo family “la Cuomo Nostra.”

            “There is a group of people — politicos — who always hint they might run, but not necessarily plunge all the way, and they are members of la Cuomo.”

            “Who am I, then, Fredo?” Cuomo asked in response.

            Further it seems that most accounts are focusing on the fact that the language he used was laced with vulgar language where I think a bigger issue is that he apparently threatened to push the guy down a flight of stairs.
            Er, come on - that's like asking 'am I chopped liver'. I don't think that's a fair comparison.

            Of course, he's now got himself a new nickname - sometimes it pays to just let things slide...

              The funniest part is that by going on this rant, Chris Cuomo just guaranteed that the "Fredo" nickname will stick to him forever!

                Pretty much, yeah --- he just gave everybody a handle with which to jerk him around.

                        Melon-head Hannity is defending Fredo's right to not be harassed in public, when out relaxing with his family, and I reluctantly agree.

                        He is also defending the fact that Fredo vigorously stood up for himself, and there I do not agree. Fredo went beyond "standing up for himself" directly to psychotic rage with literal threats of violence.

                          It looks like a case of "protesting too much" on steroids. Somebody in this thread revealed that he had referred to himself as Fredo, then totally freaked out when somebody else called him that. He's proving he's the weak sissy he so viciously denies he is.

                            Yeah, no - look at Rogue's quote - the guy is not using it as a normal self reference but as a sarcastic rhetorical question.

                            What I saw of the video was him going off about the name - not about being disturbed in public or the person being otherwise obnoxious. Assuming the worst and the guy meant to be insulting, the reaction was way out of proportion to the slight.

                              Freddo is NZ's version of chocolate frogs.....

                              Freddo
                              Is there a cheekier chocolate than Freddo? If there’s ever any chocolatey mischief happening in Joyville, cheeky Freddo won’t be far away. He’s always jumping head first into the fun, and for the past 80 years has leapt into our confectioner’s hearts too.

                                Apparently Rush Limbaugh has been calling him Fredo for years now though I don't know whether or not this was on account of Cuomo's own self-reference
