Fedora, thank you for your research and this excellent post! It seems to me we need to make the Mob Repulicans...then they could lean on Reid!!
All this needs is a connection to the Clintons, and we would have a unified theory of democrats!
I did notice the other day that Sinatra's FBI file mentioned Giancana vacationing in Hot Springs in the 1960s, which got me thinking along those lines.
