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.

Cuomo’s opposition to the death penalty was well-coordinated with Bernardin’s “Seamless Garment.” Abortion and the death penalty are equally important, see? Therefore, if I favor abortion and oppose the death penalty, then I’m just as “pro-life” and just as good a Catholic as the “pro-life” people who oppose abortion and favor the death penalty.

And being for open borders is “pro-life,” even though immigrants vote 70% pro-abortion. And being for more family-destroying welfare is “pro-life.” And opposing the Reagan tax cuts was “pro-life.”

Bishops have been trying to steal the term “pro-life” from the actual pro-life movement for decades, and tack it onto the agenda of the Democrat party.

Anyone remember the recorded conversation between Clinton and Monica? He talked of Cuomo having major Mafia connections...

I have spent way to much time with you people! Let me explain. I have a puppy. So I have been sleeping on the couch to accommodate said puppy. I sleep with the TV on and wake to the sound of the National Anthem being played prior to the start of Fox and Friends First.

So scene set.

The first thing I heard after the National Anthem and I am still not quite awake as the alarm has not gone off, is "Liberal Lion" and with out hesitation I said you mean "lying liberal". I was not even really awake yet.

See, what this site has done? ;0

Typically, when such notables as Cuomo die, the tradition is to separate the head from the body with Cold Iron.

Just to make sure, you know. Stuffing the mouth with garlic is also recommended. . . (evil grin)

A repost if this item included the exhortation “Be Nice”.

I don’t have to. The headline is nice enough as it stands.

to be exact
“I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t have some Mafioso major connections,” Ms. Flowers said.
Clinton:”Well he acts like one.”

(Clinton apologized.)
>>Mr. Cuomo said at a news conference on Tuesday that Mr. Clinton’s comment was “part of an ugly syndrome that strikes Italian-Americans, Jewish people, blacks, women, all different ethnic groups.”

I see what you mean, the encomium “liberal lion” had been conferred upon Teddy “Swimmer” Kennedy after he croaked. Now that mantle passes to Pope Mario the First (”Pious”), candidate for progressive sainthood.

It appears that “liberal lion” means “loudmouthed elected liberal troublemaker defying the wishes of an ignorant misinformed public, who has now assumed room temperature so let the really gushy fulsome praise begin”.

What a loss.

Didn’t see a FR thread on this, Former SC Governor Jim Edwards, the first Republican Governor of the state since Reconstruction, died on Dec 26th.

One of only 2 GOP Governors at the time that backed Reagan over Ford. RIP.
