September 5, 2003 -- Will the real boss of the Gambino family please stand up?

Lawyers working to undercut convictions in the Peter Gotti racketeering case want the feds to investigate a mob snitch who claims the Gottis no longer hold the reins of the Gambino family, The Post has learned.

Famous last words

Robert Kennedy as council to the McClellan committee was giving Sam Giancana a hard time in questioning. Giancana answered each question by reading the fifth amendment with a smirk and from time to time a slight laugh. Frustrated, Kennedy asked the mob boss, "Are you going to tell us anything or just giggle? I thought only little girls giggled?"

Keep in mind, mob bosses got feelings, too.

Was the Gotti family one of the best things to ever happened to Feds who fight organized crime?

[Clemenza]

Paul Castellano was a smart man who kept a low profile like his mentor Carlo Gambino. Gotti was a dimestore greaseball thug who watched way too many mob movies. Although I think La Cosa Nostra would have faded away anyway, Gotti pretty much handed the Gambino's to the feds.

Yes, and his relatives are even dumber than he was.
