Frank Pantangeli, for those of you who aren’t Godfather 2 fans, after being coaxed, slit his wrists in a bathtub so he wouldn’t have to testify against his cronies in court.
First of all, I’m not fond of controversial posts since, I’d rather be harmlessly entertaining, but…if one more person implies that Jeffrey Epstein’s sudden suicide was just one of those things, you’ll hear me hurl across the page.
As the world knows, he was busted for engaging with underage girls he basically kidnapped turning them into little sex automatons to service him and his friends, that were all about to be busted too.
Names that would make our hair curl, by the way,
So what happens? He’s suddenly left alone in his jail cell when he’s supposed to have a cellmate just for that purpose of making certain, he doesn’t try to kill himself.
He’s also…OOPS..mysteriously taken off suicide watch after trying it once already. Toss in no one checked on him every half hour as required in the..must be out of print…prison manual, and well….
DO YOU HAVE TO BE A FUCKING MEMBER OF THE COLUMBO FAMILY TO KNOW HE WAS CONVENIENTLY CROAKED TO PROTECT HIS SLIMY COHORTS?
Sorry, but my Italian’s up.
After strolling by his townhouse since it’s nearby, I thought, if those walls could only talk. Or his bed. Imagine that on the stand spilling its guts.
Jeffrey, who was slipperier than an eel, either paid off his guards himself, knowing those Elysian Fields would be much preferable to 45 years in Leavenworth where pedophiles are looked down upon, or, someone else paid them to look the other way while they made our sick boy take himself out, with a gun to his head.
So now we have all these former sex slaves, as the good old New York Post calls them, who now, won’t have Jeff to square off with in court, so instead, will more than likely receive HUGE CASH settlements their lawyers will recommend since, it will be recommended to them by the powers that be who don’t want to be known for their hide-the-salami high jinks, to quote Woody Allen, who could very well be on the list.
And the promise…JUSTICE WILL BE DONE…is a myth because, just remember that blowjob that could be heard around the world courtesy of none other than William Jefferson Clinton, that’s now a part of our snappy culture.
Think casseroles, Downy Fabric Softener and fellatio in the Oval, that they’ll soon be teaching in schools.
And what a surprise to learn that Bill was a pal of Jeff’s.
Integrity I hear is having a retrospective, at The National.
To end on a harumph, this bizarre painting of Bill in drag hanged, like its owner, in Jeffrey’s townhouse.
All I can say is, he’s no Divine, now is he? 
SB
Justice, my ass.
And oops, indeed. Highly convenient all these “errors” leaving poor Jeffrey all by his lonesome.
And sure, big payoffs to shut them up is so much easier than actually making the evil ones pay.
What is up with that picture? That is bizarre on all sorts of levels.

I read yesterday that he had his lawyers there all day, every day where they’d sit and empty out all the vending machines. Now certainly just that should tell you something. Did other inmates have the same privilege of leaving their cell for hours at a time to munch Twinkies and sip Coke while discussing their hopeless case? There was no getting around him going to jail for the rest of his days. They already pulled every rabbit they had out of their hats.

It’s ridiculous and a marked show of bravado. Would have been enough to have the other inmates so pissed as to settle the score, anyway.

Frankie Five Angels would spit at this bullshit. And thank you for convening with a Godfather theme, since it’s my opinion that organized crime has nothing on the scumbags in suits who run all the major arteries of our country.
It’s insulting, to be fed this line. To know the names will never see the light of day, when really, they should be cowering in a jail cell as the population takes turns with them.
Interestingly, in that poignant final scene with Frankie Five Angels, Tom and him discuss the fall of the Roman Empire.
I think I see the sign up ahead . . .

I am not a Godfather fan. In fact, I think I only saw one of them and it wasn’t number 1.
I am also not certain that I would consider this a very controversial post for most of us.
