So you have your NewYork city and Upstate with Italian and Jewish extract politicians, clean as the driven snow.
I feel a kindred soul, since I have Chicago and Downstate with Irish and Jewish politicos, where a judge behind closed doors ruled that former mayor "shortshanks" Richard M. Daley is too sick to testify in a corruption case.
Daley's testimony would have been "priceless" - "I don't remember nuttin, judge...heh hehhe haa, shnorf, guffaw, hee hee, shnorf...."
