NY1 has learned that former Governor Mario Cuomo has died at the age of 82.
This comes just hours after Andrew Cuomo was publicly inaugurated for his second term as the 56th governor of New York.
Governor Cuomo said in his speech at One World Trade Center that his father was unable to attend because he was too ill. He also said he and his family had spent New Year's eve with the senior Cuomo.
Governor Cuomo had also changed his initial plans for his swearing in ceremony to take place in Manhattan as opposed to Albany.
OK, thanks. I guess my memory had to do with a VP succeeding a 2 term POTUS to do 12 years. I was going by what ‘41’ said when he won in ‘88.
The point, tho, is that it’s rare (certainly in modern times) to have one party in the WH for more than 2 consecutive terms. Mario could have saved us from Slick Willy (tho I don’t know the trade-off makes that much difference).
Every word you said is a thousand percent true
and you were nice to the piece of Obama
I am personally opposed to saying “good riddance to bad rubbish”, but I would never impose my morality on the rest of the Freepers on the this thread.
30 years too late.
Omg I forgot about that! Thanks for the good laugh!
If I had a throwdown account, I’d troll the news comments everywhere asking what Luigi and Princess Peach will do now.
the book of Wisdom: We have erred from the way of truth, we wearied ourselves in the way of iniquity and destruction and have walked through hard ways. What hath pride profited us? or what advantage hath the boasting of riches brought us? . . . Such things as these the sinners said in hell. (Wis. 5:6-14).
Mario was a PUBLIC sinner. PUBLIC. he castigated pro-lifers on national TV for 40 minutes. We will not join into the national celebration of a modern-day Herod who tried to use the Lord’s Gospel to justify the abortion movement and to admonish those in the churches that did not agree with him.
The GOSPEL contains no precept to “protect the reputations” of such men. The deceased made a choice to become a vocal public national leader of the “pro-choice” cause.
