It's almost always a mistake to look at a politician and think, "well he's an asshole, but he's OUR asshole," as assholes are usually no one's but their own. It's extra maddening that Cuomo had that kind of appreciation from many, because his entire career was being THEIR asshole. I don't mean he wasn't liberal enough for my tastes, I mean he literally worked to make sure Republicans had control of the New York State Senate!
