My Floyd Patterson-Sonny Liston analogy was not even close to describing the damage done to the Ratso Vito Bruno campaign and Ratso's personal prospects going forward in politics --- Now, it looks like a more apt analogy is [whispered, but with emphasis] >>> CANCER !!!
A quick look at Vito Bruno's social media shows clearly that blood is squishing out of the Bruno operation more than President Trump's description of Megan Kelly four years ago.....
If you missed the up to the minute reports about this last week on this blog and elsewhere, it was all caused by the mailer sent out by the Gounardes Campaign last week detailing GOP State Senate Candidate Ratso Vito Bruno's exploits as an unscrupulous manager and promoter of a variety of outlaw sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll clubs and events that regularly ran afoul of various levels of law enforcement and other city, state and federal governmental agencies >>> one of Bruno's own sites even suggests that an association with the 1980s conspirators made famous in the movie "Goodfellas" would not be out of the question*
A quick skim of Vito Bruno's social media like Facebook and Twitter will show sites whose main color is blood red..... And it's all couched in unfocused blunderbuss and un-targeted attacks on Mayor deBlasio as much as Andrew Gounardes --- the obvious question is: "WHY ???" --- and the obvious answer is that the Gounardes team made Bruno and company bleed prodigiously with last week's killer mailer to voters.
So what is the Vito team doing to stop the bleeding ??? Intense but unfocused radiological therapy, because what has hit the Bruno campaign is worse than a bad cancer that metastasized all over the place.....

* Actually, I think that Vito's own mention of the 1980s Lufthansa Heist was an overreach in bragging --- even for him. --- Nonetheless, since it's a holiday weekend, how about some "Goodfellas" soundtrack nostalgia:
[Cue the Ronettes version]
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day
Old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around
Was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler "Stop!"
But he waved goodbye saying "Don't you cry
I'll be back again some day"
(Frosty the snowman) Ohh-ohh
(Frosty the snowman) Ohh-ohh
(Frosty the snowman) Oh
(Frosty the snowman) Oh-oh
(Frosty the snowman) Ohh, oh-oh
(Frosty the snowman) Oh, yeah
(Frosty the snowman) Don't cry, oh-ohh
(Frosty the snowman) Oh, yeah
Monday shootings are at 6 people shot in by 3 am.
ReplyDeleteNot bad debasio/andy
Home Reporter article says Cops need help looking for Marine avenue stabber. So many shootings and stabbings under mayor diblasio, justin, andy, max.
ReplyDeleteBut in the 1980's Vito managed a club in manhattan where its claimed people used drugs.
The choice is clear.
Chairs Ghorra and Kassar have really put together a brilliant operation.
ReplyDeleteI saw Justin organizing a pie eating contest. He'll win that one.
ReplyDeleteBruno Vito campaign is so desperate they are now having political 9-11 memorial services. Politicizing a tragedy from 20 years prior that's the Bruno Vito way
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "JUST LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO >>> ALL <<< OF THE COMMENTERS ABOVE >>> EXCEPT ONE <<<
IN LESS THAN A HALF HOUR [from 9:47 to 10:09] THERE WAS A FLURRY OF COMMENTS FROM THE PRO-BRUNO CROWD --- THAT'S ABOUT AS MUCH CONFIRMATION AS JENNIFER GRIFFIN GOT FOR FOX NEWS AND ITS RETELLING OF THE ATLANTIC MAGAZINE ARTICLE YESTERDAY
AT THIS STAGE OF THE 2020 ELECTION CYCLE, THE RATSO VITO BRUNO CAMPAIGN KNOWS THAT IT HAS REACHED THE >>> "I DON'T KNOW HOW BAD IT IS, BUT IT'S PRETTY BAD" LEVEL OF HURT <<<
IF THIS VITO B. THING WERE A REAL CAMPAIGN, IT WOULD BE TIME FOR FIRINGS, A RADICAL CHANGE IN DIRECTION AND A LAST SECOND RESTART, INCLUDING A RE-BRANDING
LIKE I SAID A LONG TIME AGO >>> VITO, OWN YOUR PERSONAL HISTORY AND RUN AS A LIBERTARIAN-STYLE REPUBLICAN AND AM-PM BUSINESSMAN GANGSTA, WHO CAN PUSH BACK AND TAKE THE NIGHT AWAY FROM ALL THE DESTRUCTIVE SHOOTERS, LOOTERS, RIOTERS, ARSONISTS AND ANARCHISTS >>> ALL THE WHILE USING THE COPS AND THE "LAW AND ORDER" CROWD AS YOUR PROPS <<< IN SHORT, YOU CAN PERSONALIZE AND LOCALIZE WHAT'S BEEN WORKING FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP NATIONALLY
DON'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT GOUNARDES MAILER THAT RE-SPINS YOUR WELL-DOCUMENTED PAST --- DO SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT NOW, AND QUANTUM LEAP WAY AHEAD OF ALL OF THAT.....
It's just a thought. Right now, you are on a glide path for a terrible crash well short of the November Election runway --- You need some real airspeed fast --- So, push those jet engine throttles all the way forward.....
Be who you are --- AND --- Do what you do and nobody else can.....
Gail, you and all of the sides in this Gounardes-Bruno race are missing the obvious main point of this election. Forget all about what this Vito fellow was or wasn't about forty years ago, thirty years ago, twenty years ago or even ten years ago. That's just too many years, too many years, too many years. This Gounardes-Bruno election is mostly about a very cranky old man running against a very ordinary man in his prime.
ReplyDeleteThe Vito stuff from the previous century, and then some, might matter if crime wasnt out of control. Democrats like Andy, max, justin want to defund the police. or at least thats what they said last month. Now they are talking about anything except the crime. Nobody is supporting dems except criminals and ex GOP losers on this blog.
ReplyDelete150, so let's get this straight: because you say that crime is out of control now, we need to bring in a bright lights, big city lawbreaker from the previous century to save us. WOOOOOO, scary stuff kids.
ReplyDeleteIt's all so phony, most of this run up in crime happened with Marty Golden as our State Senator, and he couldn't stop any of it.
Mike Scully was just shot and killed in front of his house on 74th street. No its not phony or funny.
ReplyDelete2 more shootings in flatbush. Shootings are up 176% since last August. Homicides up 48%.
ReplyDeleteAndys mailings are coming from Albany. They are pathetic and out of touch just like this blog.
Police were not defunded
ReplyDelete235, actually Mr. Scully was shot and killed this morning while walking a dog.... It seems like an odd bit of targeted violence.
ReplyDeleteBrooklyn is a war zone. The only ones who dont know that are fake news democrats. While Justin votes to defund the police he dedicates funding to bird watchers.
ReplyDeleteThe shootings today in brooklyn are just the ones we read about. No comment from justin.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone can agree that Justin, Andy, Max need to clarify where they stand on crime.
ReplyDelete957, I am certain everyone should agree that is patently false. Whether they do or not, I think you need to clarify the terms 'think' and 'everyone.'
ReplyDeleteanything bad that happens any place is the democRATS fault. bruno vito will save us all from harm. he is our white knight serving up white lines
ReplyDeleteThere were two killings in Vito Bruno's district yesterday, Why didn't he stop them? And since he failed at that, why hasn't he gone out and brought the perps in dead or alive by now?
ReplyDeleteVito knows better than all the impact of death by overdose. Less customers.
ReplyDeleteThese are democrat protests. A fact.
ReplyDeleteI saw John Q and Bruno Vito driving around in a Cadillac with baseball bats. They are going to bring these perps to justice!
ReplyDeleteI saw protesters on skateboards with baseball bats smashing store windows.
ReplyDelete10:04 ex GOP reject must find that funny.
RESPONSE: THE "SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN & TO BAY RIDGE --- OR --- 'DEATH [BY ANY HAND MEANS FEWER] CUSTOMERS" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 3:51"
WHAT YOU POSTED IS SO RIGHT AND SO WRONG, AND BOTH IN SO MANY WAYS >>> THAT'S QUITE AN ACCOMPLISHMENT IN SO FEW WORDS.....
FIRST, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU MIGHT BE A MORE WRY CYNIC THAN EVEN I AM;
SECOND, YOU SEEM TO SEE CLEARLY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES RATSO VITO BRUNO SO DIFFERENT FROM THE JUST PLAIN FOLKS HE WANTS TO REPRESENT IN BAY RIDGE AND ELSEWHERE;
THIRD, YOUR INSIGHT INTO THE EXISTENTIAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MERE PERSON AND THE VERY VALUE-ADDED THING CALLED A "CUSTOMER" WAS MEGA-CANDLE-POWERS BEYOND BRILLIANT OR BRILLIANCE.....
BUT HERE'S WHERE YOU GOT IT WRONG:
FIRST, IF RATSO VITO BRUNO DOES KNOW THE IMPACT OF DEATH BY OVERDOSE ON A CUSTOMER BASE, THEN HE SHOULD ALSO SEE AND PROBABLY DOES SEE THAT SUCH DEATHS ARE A SUBSET OF ALL DEATHS AND THEIR IMPACT ON ALL CUSTOMER BASES;
SECOND, RATSO VITO BRUNO KNOWS VERY WELL THAT EVEN A DEATH BY OVERDOSE CAN BE MADE INTO A MARKETING TOOL BY USING IT AS A PROUD PART OF ONE'S OWN BRANDING --- LIKE GETTING A BIG PLAY IN A BOOK LIKE "WIRED," FOR EXAMPLE;
THIRD, YOU MISSED THE OBVIOUS CHANCE TO TIE IN RATSO VITO BRUNO'S "PEOPLE AS CUSTOMERS" WORLD VIEW TO THE RECENT PAIR OF GUNSHOT KILLINGS IN HIS DISTRICT >>> AND HOW HE QUICKLY MADE THEM INTO A MARKETING TOOL BY USING THOSE DEATHS AS A PROUD PART OF HIS OWN RELATIVELY RECENT POLITICAL RE-BRANDING AS A NEO-LAW-AND-ORDER SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE; AND
THE MOST THAT'S WRONG WITH WHAT YOU WROTE WAS THE MISUSE OF THE WORD "LESS" WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE WORD "FEWER".....
Nonetheless, even with all of that, you still get an "A+" --- yes, I do mark with a substantial curve for certain commenters.....
A FURTHER AND DIFFERENT RESPONSE TO A DIFFERENT COUPLE OF COMMENTS: THE "DUH, MAYBE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED....." EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 10:04 AM" & "... AT 10:39 AM"
REMEMBER THE LINE BY SEAN CONNERY IN THE MOVIE "THE UNTOUCHABLES" ABOUT BRINGING A KNIFE TO A GUNFIGHT --- THE SAME THING CAN BE SAID ABOUT BASEBALL BATS.....
WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE STREETS OF AMERICA [AND THAT INCLUDES THAT EXCEPTIONAL PLACE CALLED "BAY RIDGE"] IS A GUNFIGHT, SO FAR AUGMENTED BY SOME LOW END AND RELATIVELY NON-LETHAL PYRO-TECHNICS AND CHEMICAL AGENTS --- UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO BRING GUNS TO THE "DANCIN' IN THE STREETS" --- YOU SHOULD BE GETTING YOURSELF FAR, FAR AWAY
AND WHAT I DO "FIND ... FUNNY" IS THAT SO FEW PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN THAT YET.....
I don't know if this is the "Boogaloo Civil War 2" or not --- but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck --- OR --- anarchists to the right of me and anarchists to the left of me volleyed and thundered.....
The man who was stabbed was Liam biggest donor. CIA NCIS is investigating
ReplyDeleteDid Justin cancel his pie eating contest?
ReplyDelete22 people shot in nyc over the weekend. ha ha ha isnt that funny
ReplyDeleteBruno got a pole back. Things are looking good. The old man might have a shot after all !
ReplyDeleteI dont think shootings all over brooklyn will matter. Vito had a lease on a building in Manhattan in 1980 that someone did drugs in.
ReplyDelete3 weeks from tonight it ends for Biden.
ReplyDeletetwo guys on 77th street just set an 89 year old woman on fire
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "WHO WOKE YOU UP" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 12:16 AM"
YOU ARE JUST BEING SILLY..... THIS HAPPENED ALMOST TWO MONTHS AGO..... TWO YOUNG MEN WERE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY AND CHARGED WITH THAT "CRIME"
The charges for both were Third Degree Assault --- there's no indication that the old Chinese woman had any injuries; and she did not report the attack until a say later in mid-July of this year. Unless these two future Vito Bruno supporters have "priors" >>> this case is going nowhere.
A Greek terrorist shot an Irishman on 74th St, it's war
ReplyDeleteI don't think that George Vayos is Greek, and he's not a terrorist, he's a a nut.
