The Republican Mafia

"The Republicans are starting to seem more like a mafia family than a political party.

It occurred to me that maybe the public needs an organization chart that lists each pol by their role in the family like the one the FBI agents have to keep track of all the mobsters on the HBO series The Sopranos. You know, Bush is the Don (the Boss) and Karl Rove is his consigliere – like Tom Hagen in The Godfather. Cheney would be the Underboss (technically Tony Soprano's title) and Scooter Libby would be his consigliere like Steven Van Zandt's role on the show. Frist and Delay would be Capos in charge of their own crews in the Senate and the House of Representatives. You have to admit there is a certain likeness between the Hammer and Paulie Walnuts."
