When Bugs Moran was told that his men had been machine gunned in broad daylight in the garage, he said: "Only Capone kills like that."

Having that sort of reputation is kind of priceless. People fear you and will not cross you. You stand alone, unchallenged.

Kind of like the IRS. Which, take note, was the only outfit in town that was tougher and meaner and more relentless than Al Capone.

Think about it.

The Chicago Way was perfected in method by Capone but has seen its most global application by the Obama/Jarrett/Axelrod troika.
