Is it true this meeting inspired Sinatra's #1 hit, Something Stupid?

True, there are some very interesting ways things get done in Nevada.

But, unlike how things are done in 49 other states, in Nevada, they actually get done.

It's a good thing Reid is a Democrat-a Republican couldn't survive with this kind of past.

To summarize, harry reid is a mobbed-up, bribe-taking crook. How about a little of that famous "investigative journalism", MSM?

A couple of things:

Hearst columnist Lee Mortimer was a dick, the "Gregory" of his day, always hounding and taunting Sinatra. Thelast straw was when he called Frank a "Daigo". The best story I heard about Sinatra, was after Lee Mortimer death, Sinatra went to his grave to pay his respects, and pissed on it!

As far as Tommy Dorsey, he made Frank sign a lifetime contract with him that he got 50% of EVERYTHING Sinatra would make for life, no matter if he sang with him or not! Frank could have left anytime and paided the bum from his records and movies.Frank must have been desparate to sign a contract in the first place, but if I had mob connections, I would have had Tommys fingers snapped as well to get out of it!

Sinatra’s attorney during the affair was Harry Claiborne, future law partner of mob lawyer Oscar Goodman, who would himself be investigated by the Justice Department in 1979 for allegedly channeling Mafia bribes to Nevada Gaming Commissioner Harry Reid.

Great research, but you should NEVER criticize the Chairman of the Board in such a way! -:)

Not surprised in the least. I pride myself on my ability to 'read' people, and it's an ability that has served me well.

Reid is a p*ssy......complete wimp. Anyone like him has GOT to be 'owned' to have survived NV politics for so long.

Frank's Kennedy connections is a corker of a story.

According to the valet, Frank went ballistic when JFK, as president, cancelled the visit planned to Frank's Palm Springs home which he had decked out lavishly for the JFK entourage.

Frank went in and tore the whole place apart, he was so angry. JFK ended up staying with Bing Crosby who was a card-carrying Republican.

Earlier, Frank had outdone himself campaigning for JFK, putting on a show, getting all the stars to the convention.....only Dean Martin refused to go. Dean was pissed that JFK didn't want Sammy Davis Jr around b/c he was black and marrying a white woman.

Also, some believe Dean was a closet Republican.

The valet claims Jackie Kennedy hated Frank and did not want JFK to associate with him b/c of the easy women Frank could make available to JFK. BTW, the nickname for the infamous Kennedy Compound was "Hyanusport."

The valet says JFK wanted him to tell all he knew of the Hwood sex gossip---who was sleeping with who, etc. But apparently JFK was all talk, and did not partake of the goodies.

Bobby screwed Sam Giancana royally after he had helped get Chicago to go for JFK. Bobby turned around as USAG and began harrassing Giancana. Talk about ungrateful.

Later, Frank became close friends with the Reagans.
