Talk about a buzz kill.
When Mario Cuomo was serving as lieutenant governor, he moved in part time with his son, Andrew, who was then in law school in Albany — to make sure the young man wasn’t up to any sexual shenanigans, New York magazine reports.
“He was just trying to slow down my bedroom activity,” Andrew told the magazine, setting the record straight on the much-reported father-son living arrangement.
The elder Cuomo, who was elected governor in 1982, famously hung a Virgin Mary in the apartment.
Asked whether he saw the arrangement as a fun thing to do with his son, as it has often been characterized, the ex-governor bluntly replied, “Our family couldn’t afford to do a lot of things for fun.”
