I really liked Rush calling their father Mario the Pious .
That’s Pope Mario the Pious, you peasant! Respect your betters!
Honestly, Mario Cuomo was without doubt the most insufferably arrogant politician in U.S. history. His regard for anyone who voted for Reagan was one of headshaking finger wagging exasperation. Cuomo was the consummate philosopher-king, wrongfully denied his rightful place as the ruler of us all.
When he was defeated in 1994 while seeking a fourth term as Governor, I rejoiced as I imagined Cuomo sighing in disbelief, “you ungrateful bigots! And after all I’ve done for you.”
