With reference to the " criminal " Mayor Cianci a letter to
the editor today ( Sept.13 ) is fatuously titled : " Rhode Islanders
like criminals ". I think we like justice a little more. The prosecution
against our " Buddy " was so goofy that their case against him -known
as Plunderdome - came one count away from being sarcastically renamed
Blunderdome.
Why could not the prosecution present a single witness of
integrity to point a finger at the prince of Providence: " You
stole MY money.... YOU ruined my life " ? The testimony of assorted
bums should not have sufficed to convict Cianci of anything.
If he stole money from his beloved city, HOW MUCH did he
steal, WHAT did he spend this money on, WHERE is the rest of it ?
The Cianci trial was a distraction from the far greater
scandal of corporate corruption. Has George W. Bush disowned his
Enron buddies ? In general American capitalism has become a CRIMINAL
ENTERPRISE.
If guilty, our " Buddy " is just a crooked shoe-shine boy !
By the way my PROJO horoscope this morning reads : " Be careful
- your words will be quoted far and wide ".
