David Chase of The Sopranos just said that maybe our country was being run by gangsters!!!!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

He first said, the Sopranos was a show about gangsters. That gangsters take their kids to school, they put food on the table for their families. That if this country was run by gangsters, and that who knows? Maybe it is.

He got an applause!

On edit..please see post #6 for the whole quote!!!! I got some of it wrong but the gist is correct.

[PDJane]

1. and this is wrong, somehow???

Or is it just becoming clear to everyone?

[AlCzervik]

2. isn't he a republican?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

11. There are many Republicans who know how fucked up this sociopath administration is,

and their party loyalty is going out the window. Did you hear Hagel on Real Time?

[AlCzervik]

12. it's nice to hear them finally speak up.

[nonconformist]

16. No, he's a democrat

[tabatha]

3. ??

"He could an applause!" ??????

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

4. Just corrected that on edit. :)

[tabatha]

5. Thanks.

I tried to guess what is was supposed to be.

8. I have problems with this laptop. When I try to edit before posting, weird things happen because of

the touch pad.

6. You beat me to it!LOL

I reversed my DVR to transcribe it, and you beat me!LOL!

the exact quote...

"In essence, this is just a story about a gangster. And gangsters are out there taking here kids to college, taking their kids to school, and putting food on the table... and hell, lets face it. If the world, this nation was run by gangsters.... hmmm, maybe it is, I dunno... " followed by loud applause and laughter!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

9. Thanks! It was great! eom

[Pirate Smile]

13. He could have said "putting food on their family".

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

14. ...

:rofl:

[Lisa0825]

19. My thought too!LOL

Everytime I hear someone say "putting food onthe table," I remember that quote! :rofl:

[WinkyDink]

20. Sounds like he was getting back at FOX with a variation on Sally Fields!

[man4allcats]

7. "Maybe?"

It's way past "maybe."

[AwakeAtLast]

10. Wow, he was able to get one in

Maybe he slipped the censor some extra $$$. I wouldn't put it past FOX in the bribery department. However it got through, I'm glad it did!

:kick: and R!

15. It's pretty sad when Tony Soprano...

...is less than a sociopath than our own pResident.

Junior is all psychopath all the time. At least Tony experienced
some cognitive dissonance and felt guilt some of the time.

The Decider never wavers. He just keeps on killing and killing and
causing untold suffering---without so much as batting an eyelash.

A real-life Dr. Melfie needs to get Junior in a room and go hari kari
on his mind. Pop that denial bubble in which he lives--with a fierce
vengeance.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

17. Don't you remember though? Malfi dumped Tony because of new studies that show that sociopaths

just become better sociopaths with therapy? Shrub is beyond help.

[peacetalksforall]

18. The Party and the lobbyists are partners with the 'gangsters'. Why not

say Mafia instead of gangsters - or is it 'gangsters' because the gangster partners go beyond the Mafia?

[The Backlash Cometh]

21. Read "Stupid White Men." You'll find the roots of the gangsstas that

control our country.

[tabasco]

22. The Bush/Cheney cabal operates like a criminal syndicate.

Everything done in secrecy.
Loyalty is valued over all else, and only loyal, incompetent stooges are promoted and appointed.
They deceive the people and use fear to intimidate.
They lack any respect for human life, Americans or anyone else.
They steal to enrich their friends.
They have loyalty to no nation, and will compromise national security for power or wealth.

[TahitiNut]

24. The Numbers Game; Protection Rackets; Drugs; Hired Guns; Loan Sharking ...

... I don't see any difference whatsoever. :shrug: Except perhaps that the Mafia was kinder to women and children.

[cascadiance]

23. I guess he found a more stealthy way to be heard than Sally Fields did!...

I'm happy that he was able to do so!
