Mayor Cianci vs. our " Ruling Class "

Talk show host, Arlene Violet- former Rhode Island Attorney

    and a truly " beautiful person " - is infuriated with those Rhode Islanders

    who see gross corruption - and she was here referring to a Time magazine

    article on the " Buddy " Cianci circus trial - who see gross corruption

    as a popular entertainment , a SPORT: " Will our Buddy get away with it ? "

            Aren't they  CUTE all those scoundrels - seemingly linked to Federal

    Hill- who ruin the future for ordinary working class people in Providence,but

    at least bedazzle them as made for TV local two-bit celebrities. Yes here

    is CELEBRITY at its most putrescent !

                 Now I don't want our Buddy to get away with big time corruption.

    I hope the trial is FAIR as a trial often is for PRIVILEGED people.

            But Buddy might not be guilty of big time corruption. This

    matter with the University seems to me a rather petty affair. The

    entrenched RULING CLASS simply could not accept our Buddy as one of

    THEIR own. So he is like a medieval DUKE -  dangerously independent of

    the  nobles but no great friend of the peasants - who adore him.

                  The University Club was too SNOBBY to accept Buddy

    and the Prince of Providence -like a character in the Poe story " at

    length would be avenged ".

             " Today you spit in my face. But tomorrow you kiss my WOP

    ass ! "
