Vito Bruno is as useful as a broken clock, but even a broken clock does have some uses

 

They say that even a stopped clock is right twice a day.....  And that's probably true


Republican-Conservative challenger Vito Bruno seems to have found a real issue with which to hammer his Democrat opponent Andrew Gounardes, the incumbent State Senator for the 22nd S.D.  ---   Here's what Mr. Bruno posted on his social media earlier today:

"... Our State Senator Andrew Gounardes talks a good game, but when it came to protecting seniors in our nursing homes, Gounardes bowed to the party bosses and supported immunity for unscrupulous nursing home operators. #TimeForChange...."



In my zeal to kill the messenger, I would hate to kill such an important message.

SO TAKE NOTICE: THIS IS A VERY LEGITIMATE MESSAGE --- AND --- IT IS VERY IMPORTANT

Just remember that "... even a stopped clock is right twice a day".....

Wrong again. If a broken clock is digital it never has the right time.

Please, stay focused on what Vito Bruno >>> AND I <<< are BOTH saying about a big part of the Corona Virus, COVID-19 disaster here in New York State: ".... State Senator Andrew Gounardes talks a good game, but when it came to protecting seniors in our nursing homes, Gounardes bowed to the party bosses and supported immunity for unscrupulous nursing home operators. #TimeForChange...."

555, those aren't plastic wrappers, they are plastic slip covers. They were very popular among certain old-time Brooklyn It-lo types, and Vito Bruno fits that profile to a 'T'. He is an It-lo old-timer from old-time Brooklyn.

Relative to the comment that I re-posted immediately above --- some maroon named Raimon V. Ranaletta seems to have actually posted this bilge on Facebook a few days ago:

".... Dyker Heights Brooklyn, a normally safe neighborhood is taking the Andrew Gounardes nose dive.... So a few blocks from me in day light a man shot/killed.

I really can't tell what this is or what it's all about other than to say this guy seems to be a supporter of Ratso Vito Bruno and desperately needs some kind of intervention ASAP before he does harm to himself or others.

Of course, right now in 2020, Ratso Vito Bruno will completely exploit this poor benighted soul rather than get him much needed help, just like he did to John Belushi almost forty years ago, until Balushi wound up killing himself with an overdose in 1982.

Galewyn Massey said...

AS AND FOR A FURTHER UPDATE & BACKFILL ABOUT RATSO VITO BRUNO: THE "INTERESTING RE-TWEETS OF VITO BRUNO'S LIES BY RAYMOND V. RANALETTA" EDITION

VITO, HOW CAN YOU KEEP GETTING SO MANY OF YOUR OWN BIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS WRONG ?????


These were re-tweets of Vito Bruno's original Tweets that appeared on Raymond V. Ranaletta's timeline:

"Vito Bruno for State Senate
@VitoBruno718

Sep 13

I was a good friend of John Belushi rest in peace when I was 20, one line in a book and this is all you've got....

Vito Bruno for State Senate

Never was a drug dealer...."


This is at least the second time that I've seen Vito Bruno push the same packet of lies.

Vito Bruno was born on 10-3-1956 and John Belushi died on March 5, 1982 --- YOU DO THE MATH --- Vito was almost twenty-six years old when he gave the cocaine and "Black Beauties" to Belushi who was only 33 when he died. When Bob Woodward interviewed Bruno about Belushi and Vito Bruno admitted giving the star several kinds of drugs right before he died, Bruno was almost twenty-eight. And for his most recent admissions, Vito Bruno is what 63 or something like that..... Vito is also lying about not being a dealer, because he admittedly was a "pusher" and his pushing of drugs was part of the "deal" he had for certain special people to come into his club.

'The Castle on Sunset' .... currently being adapted into an HBO series.... retraces Belushi's
final days inside the legendary Chateau Marmont where his pal Bobby DeNiro stopped by to snort coke... supplied by State Senate Candidate Vito Bruno... just hours before his tragic and preventable death. I wonder who will play Vito Bruno in the biopic?

Galewyn Massey said...

RESPONSE: THE "LOTS OF HOURS BEFORE" EDITION

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 10:49 AM"

LET'S TRY TO BE ACCURATE --- ACCORDING TO THE BOB WOODWARD BOOK, "WIRED," VITO BRUNO SAID THAT HE SUPPLIED JOHN BELUSHI WITH COCAINE AND "BLACK BEAUTIES" DAYS BEFORE BELUSHI'S DEATH IN CALIFORNIA ON MARCH 5, 1982.


Another biography of John Belushi, "Belushi, A Biography," by Judith Jacklin Belushi, John's widow, and Tanner Colby does not apparently mention Vito Bruno >>> which sort of puts a lie to Ratso Vito Bruno's claim that "... I was a good friend of John Belushi when I was 20..." <<< Nonetheless, in a March 2013 article, Tanner Colby indicated that as far as he could tell, Woodward's account of the details of John Belushi's six years of heavy drug use was accurate, and Woodward's notes on the interviews with people (like Ratso Vito Bruno*) were virtually stenographic. (Interestingly, those are the same sick six years that Ratso Vito Bruno says that he was good friends with John Belushi.**)

TODAY'S VERY RELEVANT UPDATE AND BACKFILL: THE "STILL BRAGGIN' & BOASTIN' AFTER ALL THESE YEARS" EDITION

THE VERY DOWN AND DIRTY RATSO VITO BRUNO IS MORE THAN WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE ABOUT SOME SAD STORIES IN A DISTANT PAST --- AN ARTICLE RE-PUBLISHED IN 2018 SHOWS THAT RATSO IS THE SAME OLD OPERATOR AND PROMOTER THAT HE ALWAYS HAS BEEN --- AND HIS MAKEOVER AS A SOCIAL VALUES "LAW AND ORDER" CONSERVATIVE TRYING TO KEEP NYC A CLEAN PLACE FOR FAMILIES IS A NAZI-STYLE "BIG LIE" OR A CHE GUEVARA-STYLE COMMUNIST "REVOLUTION IN THE REVOLUTION" --- AND NICOLE MALLIOTAKIS, AND THE BROOKLYN GOP AND CONSERVATIVE PARTY LEADERSHIP HAVE FALLEN FOR IT >>> HOOK, LINE AND SINKER


An article re-published by #hollywoodlowlife Kurt Voss on June 21, 2018, entitled "Star Sightings, Late ‘80’s NYC Stylee," will tell you all that you need to know about the contemporary 2020 Ratso Vito Bruno, even if the article appears to be a deep-dive retrospective.

Here's a little taste: "....I feel I’m in good hands with Vito: He knows everyone, has the city wired. He will eventually make a run at local politics, reinvented as a trim, balding and serious-minded businessman. But in this earlier incarnation, Vito is as ‘street’ as a character out of early Scorsese. He knows where bodies are buried, and he knows all too well that the fix is always in. Or as Anton LaVey opined, “Asked not for whom the bell tolls. It tolls because someone is paid to pull the rope.” Vito promises to show me the grittiest version of NYC I have yet seen...." --- There's even a mention of John Gotti, like he's just a big ship that passes by Vito Bruno's shop from time to time.

As of the moment of the posting of this comment, nothing indicates that Ratso Vito Bruno has ever contradicted a single word of the Kurt Voss piece. And that speaks volumes about the real Vito Bruno.....

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 12:17 PM"

NO ! NO !!! NO !!!!! --- THAT WOULD BE AN ILLOGICAL LEAP.....


Near the end of February 1982, Ratso Vito Bruno gave Belushi enough drugs to get him out of Bruno's club; he even let Belushi use his limo and driver to go somewhere else..... So much for the John Belushi was a "good friend" to Vito Bruno bullshit.

There's almost a week and a whole continent between the interaction described by Bob Woodward in "Wired" as happening at Vito Bruno's place and John Belushi's death on March 5th, 1982, most likely caused by or exacerbated by a "Speed Ball" consumed at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood.

Maybe, Liam McCabe and John Quaglione don't want the Democrats to have pictures of them with Vito Bruno or anybody strongly supporting that moral reprobate and unfit candidate for public office. It looks like Bob Capano lacks their political wisdom and circumspection.

A FURTHER RESPONSE: THE "PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE" EDITION

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 2:22 PM"

WE NOW HAVE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE THAT BOTH BOB CAPANO AND VITO BRUNO DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE COVID-19 MASKING PROTOCOL IS ALL ABOUT

BOB CAPANO MIGHT NOT "NEED A CIRCUMSPECTION" --- BUT, HE SURE DOES NEED A RADICAL RHINOPLASTY --- THE PICTURE, OF WHICH BOB IS SO OBVIOUSLY PROUD, CLEARLY SHOWS THAT BOB IS NOT PROPERLY MASKED, EVEN THOUGH HE IS WEARING ONE --- CAPANO'S SCHNOZ IS PATENTLY NOT COVERED BY HIS MASK

IN ADDITION, RATSO VITO BRUNO IS SHOWN AT THE PODIUM WITHOUT WEARING THE REQUIRED FACE MASK --- THE PHOTO SHOWS CLEARLY THAT THE FOLKS NEAREST TO RATSO ARE TOO CLOSE TO HIM TO ESTABLISH THE COVID-19 REQUIRED ZONE OF NECESSARY SOCIAL DISTANCE


To be perfectly fair, I don't know whether Capano and Bruno are being absolutely sociopathic in their disregard for public health and the common weal; or if they are just a pair of ignorant dolts. Given their past histories and natural proclivities, my guess is that Vito is a sociopath and Bob is a dolt.

HERE'S EXACTLY WHAT NICK RIZZO HAD TO SAY ABOUT RATSO VITO BRUNO IN HIS COLUMN IN THE BROOKLYN PAPER ON SEPTEMBER 16TH.....


".... I bring up nightclubs and after-hours bars because those are the “independent businesses” where [Vito] Bruno has made his life’s work! Trust me, there’s a whole lot of petty crime of the sort Vito is now decrying going on in nightclubs and especially after-hours bars, which are by-definition illegal.... In the past, [Vito] Bruno has admitted to reporters that he scored drugs for celebrities and that he bribed cops. In 1987, while managing Club Inferno, he told SPIN magazine, 'If we’d go through a night and no one got shot, that was a success.' The next year, his club 1018 in Chelsea had 20 shootings in one year...."

Not as melodic and pleasant on the ear as my own lilting prose --- however, these passages by Nick Rizzo make Ratso Vito and Bobby C. both bleed from their pucker holes.....

First off, Nicole and Bruno lose miserably. Enough said.

Tannousis will win because the Dems have no credible candidate.

So on November 4, we will be left with only an Assemblyperson.

Ghorra lost golden and donovan 2 yrs ago and we will never win those seats back.
