--Joseph Alioto, a San Francisco politician related to Milwaukee Mafia boss John Alioto; alleged by informer Jimmy “the Weasel” Fratianno to be associated with San Diego Mafia boss Frank “the Bomp” Bompensiero, a charge Alioto denied; implicated in the Koreagate Congressional bribe scandal.

Uh-oh. I hope he's not related to Sam Alioto.

I think you mean "Alito"; if so, no relation :-)

Isn't Alioto what Kennedy kept calling Alito during the hearings? No wonder that name was always on the tip of his tongue!

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?

Joseph Alioto, ex mayor of San Francisco. The family ran long shoreman and other SF politics for years. My grand pa said that the corrupt Aliotos were one of the reasons why our family left SF years ago to live in the East Bay.
