This week, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) received received the Edward M. Kennedy Institute Award for Inspired Leadership.
The Governor professed himself "humbled to be recognized as someone worthy of being associated with the late, great Senator Kennedy. His life was a model that I aspired to imitate. His political brilliance was demonstrated by his ability to survive the death of Mary Jo Kopechne early in his career. The incident would have ruined anyone else. He was driving drunk for a sexual hook-up with this young woman when the car plunged off a bridge into a tidal pond. He swam to safety and for the next several hours worked diligently at avoiding blame. Meanwhile, Mary Jo was suffocating trapped inside the submerged car. Failure to render aid, neglecting to seek help for a rescue attempt, fleeing the scene of an accident, the situation looked pretty grim for the young Senator."
"But by perseverance, connections with powerful people, an adoring media, and excellent acting, he was able to avoid serious charges and be reelected to the senate seven more times," Cuomo admiringly recounted. "I was only 12 years old at the time of this tragic incident, but I knew right then that I wanted to be like him when I grew up. This award tells me that my dream came true."
Interestingly, Gov. Cuomo's emulation of his boyhood hero resulted in him ordering that COVID-19 patients be sent into nursing homes. This resulted in thousands of unnecessary deaths as infected individuals were mixed in with the highly vulnerable residents of these nursing homes. Just like Senator Kennedy, Cuomo has survived this blunder through perseverance, connections with powerful people, an adoring media, and excellent acting. Why, he even got an Emmy earlier this year for his role in the COVID-19 pandemic.
