Ex Gov. Mario Cuomo defends son Andrew: 'I wish I were as good a man'

ANNIE KARNI

Former Gov. Mario Cuomo is speaking out for the first time against criticism that his son, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, went over the line by meddling with a state anti-corruption commission.

"Andrew is as honest a politician as we have seen in New York,” the former governor said in a Monday telephone interview with the Daily News.

“He's a highly intelligent and devoted politician. Whatever other difficulties people might find, I don't find ‘em. I don't see them.

"I know how important being honest is, and that's what he is: first class," the elder Cuomo said.
