I am especially shocked because Andrew's father, Mario, once proclaimed there is no such thing as the Mafia.

Even putting this aside Cuomo has run a remarkably clumsy campaign. I live Upstate and there is virtually no evidence here that he is even running for governor.

When the Javits Center was going up in NYC at the beginning of Mario Cuomo's first term as Governor, there was a mob-related scandal concerning inferior building materials for the roof structure. During a television interview on the street in front of the new building, Gov Cuomo said in the best mob-mouthpiece tradition, and I quote, "I don't believe there is such a thing as a 'Mafia'".
That's all you need to know about the Cuomos and the mob.

When Papa Mario was still governor of New York and was being touted as presidential material, I asked a friend who had worked in NY State government what she thought of his chances. She told me that there was no way Cuomo could gain higher office as his deep ties to the mob would be immediately exposed in the national press. It was apparently very common knowledge in Albany that Cuomo was as bent as they come.
Regarding Baby Andy, this direct tie-in with La Cosa Nostra funds should be no surprise.
Regarding my friend's prediction about Mario, after what we have seen the press allow a pair of white trash thugs from Arkansas get away with for ten years, I have no faith that they would in any way expose the Cuomo family's ties to organized crime. We were just plain damn lucky that men like Reagan and Pataki were able to dissuade and defeat the pater of that criminal familia.

Say it ain't so .. Andy has mob ties
I'm SHOCKED ...
BTW .. I don't think Hilda is behind this .. Andy is part of The Party Of Bill Clinton .. besides he's not running for President
As a Gov he'll help push Hilda's agenda when running in 2004
Why do you think the Clinton Goons are running for office all over the country ...

Now I'm not surprised since Andrew Cuomo is married to Kerry Kennedy, one of the notorious Kennedy clan who have always had mob ties dating back to old Joe Kennedy, former ambassador. Old Joe made his millions illegally running booze during Prohibition. He later tried to turn legitimate and disconnect himself with mob ties when sonny Johnny got the presidency. However, old Joe, Johnny and Bobby forgot one primary rule. Once involved with the mob you don't disconnect.

ALBANY -- Democratic candidate for governor Andrew Cuomo last year accepted $44,500 in campaign contributions from a movie producer accused of being a mob associate, according to a published report. Note to Dems: your friend's just been "hilloried."
