The Morning Line
Mario Cuomo lost his bid for a fourth term as Governor of New York last week. Amid not very substantial rumors that the former minor leaguer might become the new commissioner of baseball, Time asked various experts what they thought he might be doing with his time come January.
Jack Newfield
Columnist, New York Post
"I don't think he'll be a lobbyist or a lawyer; I don't think he'll pursue any kind of corporate or materialistic career. I think his future is in communications. It's his strength."
Ed Koch
Former mayor of New York
"He'll probably do everything I'm doing but even better: be a radio talk-show host, a partner in a law firm, write a political column, go out on speaking engagements -- for which you get paid rather handsomely -- write a book and teach, do commercials."
Rush Limbaugh
Talk-show host, author
"The Democrats have been looking for the liberal version of Rush Limbaugh. Mario Cuomo should host his own talk show and show everyone how easy it is."
Sam Roberts
Columnist, New York Times
"He'll defend the first person sentenced to death in New York State."
