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.
RIP, did Sandy open a tin of Ravioli for the wake?
My sympathies, prayers for him even though, he certainly was not my kind of politician. I don’t know all that much about him but the son I think is pretty bad in his views.
"Mario azende me tuzeprovenos sfachim!"
A ‘lil tray of truffles made with canned chocolate frosting graces her table scape. Prayers for the family.
Ted’s got company.
I liked his radio show,
Cuomo would do a brilliant opening monologue, where he solved all the world’s problems with wise and intellegent liberal solutions, and then the first, second or third caller would be a Limbaugh type conservative that would destroy his flowery monologue and show it to be farce.
Prayers for the comforting of his family
He was a gifted orator. Too bad he was a lib!
RIP
RIP.
whoa stop yourself. Prayers up for his soul
Thread bump. I came to post but you have a faster trigger finger. Prayers sent.
I did news during his reign on the radio, I would take his news feed then find stories to knock his statements over to Vermont.
Ted was blessed by the Pope in a personal letter to his death bed, and he received a grand Catholic funeral presided over by a Cardinal, I wonder if Mario will receive such a public display of Catholic piety and respect?
I suspect he will.
He reminded me of “The King of Radio” Larry King, when he measured his audience in the 100s of thousands, and pretended to not know who Rush Limbaugh was, who had just shown us that a radio audience could number in the many millions.
“Hamlet on the Hudson” someone once called him.
That made him the liberal media darling for a year or two (until Gary Hart came along). Meanwhile, Reagan was re-elected in a massive landslide.
