“I think the standoff between the Clintons and the Chicago mob is mutually assured destruction."

What's interesting to me is how easily the third part of the equation folded, i.e., the Kennedy/Mass cartel.

I think the “real” Kennedys have all died off and the next generations are so screwed up due to inbreeding, fetal alcohol syndrome, etc that they’re incapable of continuing that mob’s influence.

I’ve even seen some speculation that the family $$ has been squandered and divided so much that they’re no longer among the ranks of the truly wealthy.
