but party Chairman Tom Wilson has on several occasions referred to "La Cosa Nostra," another name for the Italian Mafia, and called Corzine and other Democrats "capos," or mob chiefs.Well, when the shoe fits....

Tell these people to STFU and ask them if they ever criticized The Sopranos.

I know. I was just being facetious to the content of the complaints, by the people in the article.

Didn't Bubba apologize to Mario, for those comments, while claiming that he didn't say them in the first place?

Tony Soprano and his family may be killers but they're still OUR family. Stop persecuting Italians in New Jersey! ;-)

I am an American of Italian descent (Sicilian actually, which has even more of an oldschool mob flavor).
I always encouraged the gangster stereotype - after all, if I were to hand pick a set of traits to intrigue women and strike mild fear in the hearts of people who don't know me well, it would be the modern Italian gangster myth/stereotype.
I embrace it - I actually have a fairly notorious surname, and I would often get asked if I was 'connected.' After years of telling people the truth ("no"), I realized most of the folks didn't believe me anyway, so now I casually say "Yes, that's my family, but I'm not involved with that kind of stuff...these days."
