MARIO: LET A JUDGE EXAMINE BALLOTS
Wednesday,December 6,2000
By STEVE DUNLEAVY
The New York Post
HE IS undoubtedly one of my best of enemies - or, more properly
put, my mortal friend.
I'm speaking about former Gov. Mario Cuomo who, when it comes to
politics, the only thing we share in common is the sky.
"George W. Bush, if he wants to be the great leader, he should
at least go along with the idea of telling a judge, �By all
means, look at the ballot and decide for yourself,'" Mario was
saying.
The governor was talking about Judge N. Sanders Sauls'
devastating body blow to Al Gore.
We were back to dimples, hanging, swinging, tri- and pregnant
chads.
"Look at them and make up your own mind about what the Democrats
were talking about," he said.
Would you governor, if you were Bush's attorney, advise him to do
that?
"Of course not. I wouldn't give anyone an inch. I would tell
Bush not to say a word, go ride his horse and clean out the
barn," Mario said.
"And I'd then tell him not to share an independent thought with
anyone - just kidding."
Would you, governor, have felt comfortable about losing an
election to George Pataki over a dimpled chad?
"I wouldn't feel comfortable about losing an election if it were
certified by the archbishop . . . no, the cardinal."
Well, George Bush has been certified.
"This is an absurd political system," Mario was saying. "Al
Gore's popular margin is growing every day. The system is
ridiculous."
But the Electoral College, that's the law.
"It's the law that is making George Bush president," he said.
"And he should remember that the next time he makes strident fun
of the court. I'm for a popular vote."
Mario was taking a call from his son, Chris, in California, Wall
Street was going through the roof after Bush stacked up court
victories and Gore's lawyer, David Boies, was talking about the
law.
"We accept the rule of the law," he said.
And the Electoral College was obviously being accepted by Gore's
mouthpiece.
This is a country's form of democracy, Mario was reminded.
"This is nothing like a pure democracy," he said. "Maybe the
founding fathers were right for their time, but they didn't trust
the people too much.
"They wanted to avoid the rabble. Elitism was very much in vogue
those days.
"Blacks were barely treated as humans and women weren't treated
much better."
So you want someone elected on a dimpled chad because there is
some mysterious mind-reading game called intent?
"Look, someone is going to count them in the future and the truth
will be known," Mario was saying.
What 10 divisions of the Chinese army is going to count them?
Because if you count some ballots of some Democratic counties,
you're going to have to count all 67 counties in Florida.
Otherwise that is not equal protection under the law.
And if you count all 67 counties of Florida, you're going to have
to recount, under that same principle, every state of the union.
Maybe Alan Dershowitz can marshal his students to do a little
freebie work and count them and postpone their law degree for a
couple of years.
Or maybe we can get Gore-nak the magician to read millions of
minds about their intent.
"You have covered a criminal trial," Mario was saying. "It's all
about intent.
"A guy walks into a bar, smashes a bottle and jabs it into
another guy's jugular vein, there is clear intent and it's murder
one.
"But if the guy is drunk and is getting attacked, and then jabs
the broken bottle in the jugular vein, that's manslaughter.
"Intent is extremely important."
When I play the numbers, my number is my area code, 5-1-6, and I
never win.
But I "intended" that number to be 6-1-5, which wins quite a lot.
So where's my money?
"I can talk all day about this," said my best of enemies and
mortal friend.
But I had to get on the phone to tell my numbers guy to change my
number.
