The book I Heard You Paint Houses came out in 2003, so it’s been gathering some dust on a number of bookshelves around the country for quite some time.

The book’s title, according to Amazon, comes from the first words infamous Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa ever spoke to Frank “the Irishman” Sheeran. To paint a house is to kill a man. The paint is the blood that splatters on the walls and floors.

The book is essentially the deathbed biography of one-time Delaware Teamster boss and mob hit-man Frank Sheeran and truly is a fascinating read.

One would think the crooked nose guys would have wanted someone with more control over their mouths.

...that would run for a week and expose the campaign misrepresentations by the Democratic challenger. Sheeran promised the operative that he “would hire some people and put them on the picket line.” He added, “People nobody would mess with.”

The picket line went up, the papers were not delivered all week, and, as Sheeran said, “The day after the election the informational picket line came down, and the newspaper went back to normal and Delaware had a new United States Senator.” His name was Joe Biden. Thereafter, said admitted extortionist, thief and murderer Sheeran, of Biden, “You could reach out for him, and he would listen.”

Did the DNC really have a 'hug a union goon' booth? Maybe they needed a 'hug a hit man' booth too...

Well, there’s a surprise, eh? I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Just shocked.

That’s no joke. There is so much loot in government that we shouldn’t be surprised that a porn-loving, murdering kleptocracy is running it.

Now it makes sense why Obama wouldn’t dump Joe for Hillary.

Democrats - Thieves, Thugs, Thralls and Thickheads

They’re not misguided ideologues, they’re just self-serving, baby-killing thieves out to loot the public treasury.

BTW, this is an excellent book. Shows what probably really happened to Hoffa, as well as the JFK assassination.

I was thinking the same thing. And couldn’t they find someone with a few more functioning neurons?

Maybe this is who they really wanted. Someone so stupid that he wouldn’t ask any questions - just smile inanely and do what he was told. Same reason Zippy picked him, I suppose.

He can’t dump Joe. He didn’t pick him. He also didn’t pick Hilary. He was told who would be his VP and SOS.

The President isn’t as powerful as you’d think. Politics doesn’t work that way.

It is a great book. Not sure if it hasn’t been embellished by someone at some point, but it is a great book.

If you want to read about the Clintons being “mobbed up”, read “Let’s Be Friends: A Mob-Controlled Union Delivers the Goods for Bill”, in “The American Spectator” magazine, by Byron York, April, 1997.

This extensive article adds a lot to my knowledge about how the Mob influenced the Democrats, something that I didn’t know when I worked on a part of the Organized Crime Task Force that dealt with LIUNA (Laborers International Union of No. America), the donors to the Clintons and his Election Campaign.

However, the NEVADA MOB showed up in some of the materials (all declassified now), including the murder of Chicago Mob leader Alan Dorfman. He and his brother reportedly had ties to Harry Reid through the casinos they skimmed and which he oversaw as Gambling Commissioner. Interesting.

There should be another federal investigation of “Dirty Harry” after this election. Who knows who will crawl out of the woodwork to testify against him. Harry’s been “doing dirty” out there and so has his son. Maybe they can share a jail cell, say in Gibbs, NV.

I heard 30 years ago, from somebody who would definitely know, that Biden was “connected” and had the mob’s ear. I somehow managed to file that conversation in the back of my brain and mostly forget about it until now. It’s amazing it took this long for the story to come out.

Of course, it is likely that most Democrat politicians, being what they are, have received “help” from the mob either directly or indirectly (mainly through mob-controlled unions).
