In 1972 Mafia hit-man Frank Sheeran received a visit from “a
very prominent lawyer” he knew who was “very big in the Democratic
Party” in Delaware.
The November general election was approaching, and the race for the
U.S. Senate seat held by a Republican was expected to be close. The
lawyer wanted help in preventing the distribution of a paid Republican
political ad – an insert in the Delaware-wide newspapers – that would
run for a week and expose the campaign misrepresentations by the
Democratic challenger. Sheeran promised the operative that he “would
hire some people and put them on the picket line.” He added, “People
nobody would mess with.”
The picket line went up, the papers were not delivered all week, and,
as Sheeran said, “The day after the election the informational picket
line came down, and the newspaper went back to normal and Delaware had
a new United States Senator.” His name was Joe Biden. Thereafter, said
admitted extortionist, thief and murderer Sheeran, of Biden, “You could
reach out for him, and he would listen.” [RED

I just watched Kill the Irishman earlier this week. It's playing again (DISH) 9/10 2:30pm on ESUSP (Encore Suspense). Came in late to the movie so recording in entire on Monday. It's a good one. Ray Stevenson -Titus Pullo- from HBO's ROME, plays Danny Green, The Irishman. It was quite good and the ending is the best. Whole-heartedly recommend it.
ReplyDeleteTalk about yer all-star cast! Vincent D'Onofrio stars with Stevenson, and Val Kilmer, but I do not remember any Joe Pesci being in this movie as is stated in the article.
What's all this talk about Kill the Irishman?
ReplyDeleteIt's THE Irishman.
Oh. Nevermind.....
