We apologize to the Boss of the Conservative party for not mentioning him on this blog sooner. We borrow an old headline from the NY Post that some of our friends in the life will catch on to.
Anyway, Ed Gaddy is unique in the sense that he flies under the radar and has something that is rare for a boss, longevity! Gaddy has served as boss of his party longer than any local boss that I can think of. There is one boss in this thing of ours that never served a day in jail, his name of course is Carlo Gambino. Gambino was a ruthless killer and shrewd boss that built a half a billion dollar empire, with about 100 made men and over 400 associates in it's prime. The Gambino Crime family is obviously named after him, you didn't mess with this guy but if you ran into him on the street in NY you could easily confuse him with a gentle old grandpa. Gambino like Gaddy laid low, didn't flaunt his position, lived in a modest house and kept his mouth shut. The FBI didn't even bother using wire taps against him because the guy never spoke about business directly, it was all done with head movements or through his brother in law Big Paul Castillano.
The Conservative party is on row C for the next four years after a strong showing in this years gubernatorial election and will carry significant weight in future elections that are of interest to our family, the mayor and Executive race come to mind immediately. There are a lot of members of our Dem family that foolishly run away from the line to curry favor with people that are going to vote for them anyway. Current legislative Chairman and former Boss of the Dem Family, John Parete said to me once: You know what you call a Democrat with the Conservative line? What's that John... a winner, he replied. That my friend is the difference between John Parete and Frank Cardinale and that's the reason Parete has more w's under his belt than Cardinale could ever dream of.
John Parete bring him back as boss!!
ReplyDeleteYour lips to god's ears
ReplyDeleteDon't compare Parete to Cardinale, that's not even funny. Cardinale is not even in same league as John Parete. Someone like John Parete could be state Chairman of the Democratic committee. Cardinale got elected because no one wanted that fatso Woerner to run things. The only person worse than Cardinale would have been Woerner. Sad to say I was forced to vote for Frank that night.
ReplyDeleteSay what you want about Parete but he won elections. He also did not discriminate against Democrats who he personally decided were not worthy of his support and the support of the committee. The current chairman does. Hein barks, Cardinale comes a running!
ReplyDeleteYeah...Parete didn't discriminate? Are you serious? Ask John Senett if Parete didn't discriminate. And even though he wasn't chairman, he supported Gibson over Schreibman. Schreibman never ran against Parete for chairman, but Parete hated him anyway. Now our district has a Tea Party Republican for Congress who has voted against Obamacare 50 times and has voted to sue Obama and voted for the shutdown which cost taxpayers millions of dollars. Gibson is a terrible congressman, and Parete (and Zweben) supported him.
