Gotti's widow: "Worry about that mob in Washington."

[kskiska]

(snip)

"It's disgusting that everybody is still obsessed with Gotti and the mob," said the 64-year-old family matriarch.

"They should worry about that mob in Washington. Those are the guys that got 3,000 deaths on their hands. The government is obsessed and I think it's a shame. Worry about that mob you've got in Washington."

Gotti, dressed entirely in black and carrying a Chanel bag, was speaking about the 3,504 American soldiers who have died in Iraq.

Ask Bush and Cheney if they have anyone on the front lines. That's what I'd like to know," she said.

1. Wow, it's a sad day when family members of mobsters can point to the pResident

and his administration as the ultimate criminals and it's totally legitimate.

5. The BFEE has more in common with the Cosa Nostra than just crime ...

The word "mafia" is taken from the old Sicilian adjective mafiusu, which has its roots in the Arabic mahyas, meaning "aggressive boasting, bragging" or marfud meaning "rejected". Roughly translated, it means "swagger", but can also be translated as "boldness, bravado". In reference to a man, mafiusu in 19th-century Sicily was ambiguous, signifying a bully, arrogant but also fearless, enterprising, and proud, according to scholar Diego Gambetta. (My emphasis in bold.)

7. Hey Victoria spare the nation a reality show if you don't like your family getting discussed.

8. Actually, that abomination was the brainchild of the daughter and her

three sons (Gotti's grandchildren). The family matriarch wasn't involved, iirc.
