Years of dealing with Mafia/gangster slime in the construction industry, especially NY, left him naive regarding the far more subtle slime possible in loftier circles and the establishment, yet probably leaving him believing he understood the nature of slime. A friend, a New York architect, was involved in an upstate historic restoration project financed by some of these criminal types. Probably for money laundering. Some times he had to do work-arounds on details regarding historic preservation laws. He knew how to do them and they were no big deal, yet these guys often insisted in doing something highly questionable to solve the problem when the standard way would have been quicker and easier, and also legal. He finally came to the conclusion that these guys were constitutionally unable to do things the easy legal way. Psychologically they just HAD TO game the system.

Well, you have to give it to slave owning traditionalist democrats, their use of slave RINOs to attack other republicans and make them work is quite effective... they do to republican slaves the way they had blacks whip other blacks on plantation, slaves owning slaves as a benefit...
