His son Andrew seems like a cool guy, too.
Andrew looks like and sounds like his father. The one thing that bothers me about Andrew is when he starts acting like an MC during a ceremony and he introduces someone to the crowd with, "How about a round of applause for _________ ?"
Ditto on Andrew.
I respected his father for his accomplishments as a fellow Italian American, and I agree that he was one of the GREAT orators. But I've read quite a bit about his contempt for his roots, and I must admit that it turned me off a bit.
And as a centrist, he was probably a bit too far to the Left for my taste. But I still voted for him twice (much like I was a HUGE Obama supporter back in 2008, which I believe gives me the right to be so critical of him today).
But this should be a celebration of a man's life, not a political discussion. Rest in peace, Governor.
