"Now are we men? Or are we punks or rats or weasels"?

I sympathize with you, John, the damned metrosexuals are taking over everything, including politics!

[sgtbono2002]

Too bad some of our Republican Senators dont have some of Gotti's traits. It would be nice if some of them showed some balls.

Lesson No. 8: Someone might be listening.

"Now are we men? Or are we punks or rats or weasels? You tell me,"

Answer, you never have been "men". You're a bunch of ruthless cowards.

Unfortunately, they difine being a man as being a bully.

"But at the root of his troubles was this: The modern mob, he lamented, was losing its manliness."

How much manliness does it take to take someone out of the city and shoot them in the back of the head with a pistol or garrote them? If you want sympathy from me, look between s*** and syphilis in the dictionary.

[CaptainK]

The Gottis' are the scum of the earth. Why do people pay attention to them?

[llevrok]

"Are we not men? No! We are Devo!"

[kenth]

You rang?

[stm]

That one pegs the gay-o-meter.

[Viking2002]

Damn, damn, damn. You beat me to it. LOL

[MrEdd]

Criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot.

Crime does not pay!

Well, it paid a little.

[BallyBill]

Are these the guys that kiss each other a lot?

[SALChamps03]

Gotti is a criminal. I hardly want republicans emulating him.

[SALChamps03]

The mob is a shadow of its former self. Ever since Joe Pistone gutted them from inside, they have never recovered.

[freedomfiter2]

are we punks or rats or weasels?

Yes, on good days.

[The Red Zone]

yeah be a real man like your daddy, push your kiddies into a life of treachery

[sgtbono2002]

LOL-- Many politicians are criminals too. they just havent been caught yet. I wasnt saying the politicians should be criminals , only that they should grow some balls.

[Clemenza]

I've heard of the "Gay Mafia", but this is ridiculous.

Truth is, the "Lavender Mafia" have more clout in contemporary society than a bunch of paunchy has been half-simians who call themselves "La Cosa Nostra."
