This just in:

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has joined other government officials in banning nearly all official travel to North Carolina because of the state’s law halting anti-discrimination rules.

Inslee joins New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who on Monday issued an executive order forbidding state employees from doing non-essential travel to North Carolina on state business, on account of they might not get to see man-junk in the ladies’ room, like they can at home.

I should hope that Gov. Cuomo prohibits all non-essential travel anywhere on the New York taxpayer’s dime. Why should taxpayers pick up the tab for state employee travel anywhere, unless it’s essential? Are New York state workers in the habit of making unnecessary trips to North Carolina? This might be news.

Haha! Of course this is a meaningless gesture by both Cuomo and Inslee. North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory, responding to Cuomo’s jerkbutt preening:

“Syracuse is playing in the Final Four in Houston where voters overwhelmingly rejected a nearly identical bathroom ordinance that was also rejected by the state of North Carolina,” said Governor McCrory Communications Director Josh Ellis. “Is Governor Cuomo going to ask the Syracuse team to boycott the game in Houston? It’s total hypocrisy and demagoguery if the governor does not, considering he also visited Cuba, a communist country with a deplorable record of human rights violations.”

Is it really essential for Syracuse’s team to travel to homo-hating Houston? Is sports really more important than The Principle Of The Thing?

And here’s what life is like for gays in Cuba, a communist dictatorship to which Andrew Cuomo has no aversion traveling.

Look, I get that Inslee and Cuomo reject what North Carolina is doing. But do they really want to go down this path of ostracizing states that don’t live up to their highly selective standards of ideological purity? Because two can play at that game. But we shouldn’t. It’s none of Andrew Cuomo’s and Jay Inslee’s business how North Carolinians govern their state, and it’s none of Pat McCrory’s business how New Yorkers and Washingtonians choose to govern theirs. Pat McCrory, though, does not make it his business to shun socially liberal states.

Andrew Cuomo presides over one of the most corrupt political establishments in the US.  Is he really in a position to dictate morals to others?
