BREAKING: Former Governor Mario Cuomo Dies at 82
Time Warner Cable News ^ | January 1, 2015

Posted on 01/01/2015 4:59:05 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

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.

Don't worry. I was tempted to post a New Year's champagne bottle being uncorked. I posted the scripture without the /sarc modifier. He! He! Now I will go full monte:

The headline reminded me of a New York Post cartoon from the early '90s. Bishop Austin Vaughn had publicly warned Cuomo that his pro-abortion actions meant he was risking hell. The cartoonist drew a naked (but strategically covered by scenery) Mario Cuomo, being poked in the backside by a pitchfork, as the devil was escorting him to his new home, saying "We think you'll like it here. We're mostly pro-choice."

That said, I hope that whatever prayers he might have said before he grew up and became what he became were heard by God, and that he was given a spirit of true repentance at the end.

Mario Cuomo's 1984 speech at the Democratic Convention

You don't have to agree with a man to respect his oratorical skills. He made a compelling case for liberalism.

The Duke of New York was Isaac Hayes (Escape From New York).

Seriously? No, I don’t mourn the death of those who worked for the forces of darkness. The world is a better place.

I don’t know. They’re not trying to pass Obamacare. Maybe he’ll get an amnesty production.

i’ve never been amazed at a guy who sounds good talking about idiotic ideas and proposals. i’ve never felt that way. i never thought clinto was a great speaker because i couldn’t get past the stupid in what he was saying.

That’s not a fair comparison. There are, in fact, principled liberals. Quite a few of them come from New York, such as Daniel Patrick Moynihan. The elder Cuomo was not a Hitler figure, but something more akin to JFK or FDR.
