Another Story in 60 Min II:

Eric Dezenhall writes articles and novels about the mob. He thinks he knows why so many Americans are fascinated by mobsters. “Tony Soprano will rob you. He will kill you. But he will not trick you. And the thing that Americans hate is to be tricked,” says Dezenhall.

“My personal theory is we do not admire what mobsters do, but we miss the days where we could say, ‘Capone, bad guy, Jesse James, bad guy.’ now we’ve got Enron, we’ve got politicians, we’ve got Catholic priests under fire, for God sakes. And Americans are overwrought by the hypocrisy. The way to really upset an American is hypocrisy, as opposed to doing bad things, which we could forgive, providing you have the integrity to be honest about the fact that you’re a criminal.”

--I think this is what the modern Mob has become - The Democratic Party! Maybe that's even what the Dixie Mafia really is - Just an old boy network that running a new protection Scheme, Protecting their political Cronies from the Skeletons in thier Closet!
