Although Ted Kennedy referred to Sam Alito as "Alioto" in deliberate disrespect, I thought at the time, maybe he was indeed trying to associate Alito with a known mob family instead?

When I saw the name Alioto in this piece I thought the same thing. That either Kennedy was deliberatly trying to tie Alito to Alioto or it was a Freudian slip that is very telling.
