Ever-eloquent Mario Cuomo, a son of Queens who rode his rhetorical gifts to three terms as New York governor and tantalized Democrats by flirting with a run for President, died Thursday, two sources close to the family said. He was 82.

Cuomo passed away six hours after his oldest son, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, was formally sworn-in to a second term in Manhattan. The elder Cuomo was too ill with a serious heart condition to attend.

I guess that’s it in a nutshell - but I didn’t say it.

(I think you may have left out a few things.)

Like him? No. But I could take him over his idiot son any day.

At this point, it’s not worth it to rehash his faults. The man is being judged by his Maker. So may God grant his loved ones comfort and peace.

It reminds me of the one I heard about the inscription on a man's grave stone "I told you I was sick."

Christian Scientist tomb stone:

"He only thinks he's dead".

Now we have to listen to a bunch of people pretend they loved him and how great he was.

Vote for Cuomo not the homo. Such a decent man /sarc

While he was pushing to legalize abortion without limits, Mario Cuomo seven times vetoed bills to restore the death penalty in New York state.

Don Imus summed up Cuomo’s arrogance best: “You don’t have a conversation with Mario Cuomo, you stand there quietly while he LECTURES you!”

Mario the Pious had a short-lived radio show after he lost in 1994. If a caller uttered the word `liberal’, Cuomo cut him off. Or he would sneer “Who CARES what you think!?” and end the call.

He will not be missed.

“Hey Mario, azienda me...tu se profiono sfacim!”

And he still is...

I wish Bob Grant was here to enjoy this moment.

Bob you were right.

Remember vote for cuomo not the homo? Ed Koch remembers
Oh, yeah, not to mention the remark about "NRA hunters who drink beer, don't vote and lie to their wives" That was about the same time he said "Tawana Brawley is my daughter". Speaking of Bob Grant MARIO, azen dame. Tu se proviono SFACCIM! And as far as il figlio del Sfaccim well, the rotten apples never falls far from the tree.

It is good for society as a whole to revile characters as evil as Cuomo. Much hypocritical, pseudo-religious, sentimental, dishonest sewage is about to flow.

Mario Cuomo, while governor, achieved what I like to call the Mario Cuomo trifecta. High taxes, high budget deficit and bad roads. Now, I am willing to understand maybe two of the three happening at a given time, that is maybe low taxes, high deficits and bad roads, of high taxes, no deficit and bad roads or even high taxes, high deficits and good roads, but I could not, for the life of me understand high taxes, high budget deficits and bad roads. But Mario was able to accomplish it. Still, I offer my condolences to his family.

With the continuous Trayon Martin/Michael Brown/Eric Garner riots, I wouldn’t be surprised if the funeral turned into a mix of the Wellstone funeral and the 1968 Democrat convention.
