ROFLMAO!! If I recall correctly, didn't Greeley write a series of trashy, sleazy, stupid "novels" back in the '70's and '80's? I remember reading the first few pages of one and throwing it in the trashcan at the Rock Island station downtown.
He is a moron of the first order, and is typical of one example(out of many) of why I am embarrassed to acknowledge my Irish ancestry.
Yeah, Greeley is somewhat of a soft porn aficionado. But "How the Irish Saved Civilization" actually exists >>> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0385418493/sr=8-1/qid=1146944097/ref=sr_1_1/002-0338003-2363215?%5Fencoding=UTF8
They never quite get to the part about how they hid behind their English "oppressors" in World War II.
Puzos characters will long outlive Greeleys: in fact, no one remembers Greeleys even now.
