Whenever something goes wrong in this state, there you’ll find Gov. Andrew Cuomo . . . insisting he had nothing to do with it.

Officials delayed the opening of the new Gov. Mario Cuomo Bridge over sudden concerns the old Tappan Zee Bridge might collapse into it. He explains that “it’s not our bridge.” You see, the state has “no authority in this situation at all.”

Never mind that he claimed full authority when he presided over the bridge’s formal opening days before — or that he regularly cites it as one of his proudest achievements.

Or that he made sure it was named after his father.

As challenger Cynthia Nixon rightly noted: “He claims credit for something when he thinks it’s an accomplishment, and the minute anything goes wrong, he says, ‘Well, you know we actually don’t own that.’ ”

It was the same thing in his triumph-then-dodge on the Second Avenue subway. A victory ride, followed by disavowal.

Then there’s his laughable denial of any link to a scurrilous piece of hate mail against Nixon — a just-before-Primary-Day smear that fits into a Cuomo-campaign pattern dating back more than four decades.

The Democratic State Committee — which Cuomo funds and micro-manages — mailed thousands of flyers to Jewish voters accusing Nixon (whose wife and children are Jewish) of being “silent on the rise of anti-Semitism.”

Cuomo’s dodge: “I heard about the mailer,” which he called “a mistake” and “inappropriate.” That’s a pretty timid reply for something so below-the-belt — and he won’t even say if any heads should roll.

One of his father’s longtime allies, Alan Roskoff (who supports Nixon) directly referenced Cuomo’s reported role, which he denies, in the 1977 “Vote for Cuomo, Not the Homo” posters against Ed Koch.

Said Roskoff: “All these years later, something similar is happening again.”

The governor sure isn’t behaving like a guy with a reported 40-point lead heading into Thursday’s primary.

Instead, he’s acting like a bully who refuses to admit any responsibility when he’s caught.
