Such a memorable, captivating speech. Been a Cuomo fan eversince. Shame he didn't run for president! Thanks so much for posting. Every convention since, I think of this speech.
@biggerdouchebagjones, if they ever do a movie on Mario Cuomo, Kevin Spacey would be the natural fit. The only thing Spacey needs in a New York Italian accent.
It is terrifying to listen to some of what Cuomo said and have it sound as if he is talking about right now (for instance the part about heads of companies making millions while shipping jobs overseas) in 2009 and then realize this speech was made over 16 years ago.
Too bad clinton didn't stop any of the jobs from going overseas. You know you could replace the name clinton with obama and keep the speech the same and it would still be as relevant today as it was then.
Fuck George Bush (that was relevant back then and now too) hehehe

Labour, you should work some more,exhaust yourself physically, because there is not much going on in the intellectual department. Hopefully you won't have time to share the contents of your putrefied mind with anyone here.
Hillary WILL be our next democrat president, after McCain finishes his mandate.
woodoven, zig zag zell's 1992 speech (i'm sorry i will NEVER forgive him for that anti-Kerry diatribe, it was personal to me) is already on youtube. it actually sounds pretty good.
Governor Cuomo was talking about the rampant spread of crime during that took place mostly on his watch.

Cuomo is nominating Bill Clinton? Even though Bill called him a Mafioso? What a forgiving man he is.
