…I’ll be very honest with you!” Vinnie Gambini’s admission to J.T. when he went to collect the $200 J.T. lost but refused to pay to Mona Lisa Vito. Perhaps it was just a fictional encounter between Joe Pesci, Chris Ellis and Marisa Tomei in one of the greatest cinematic classics of all time, My Cousin Vinney. If you haven’t seen it correct that egregious error ASAP!
I am still in a daze wondering how the majority of Americans, and more specifically the Republican party, chose a lying, cheating narcissistic felon to be their leader. I have a friend in England who was vacationing in the Maldives, a spot popular with Russian tourists, who said the bars were wild with Russian celebrations when the results of the American election were announced. Our allies did not share their joy.
BUT…
The American people have spoken so I shall give myself the ass-kicking I deserve (feel free to pile on) and sincerely hope I am wrong. Maybe the President will end his name-calling and search for retribution and honor the American judicial system and see that those responsible for crimes against the country are punished. Perhaps he will be the leader of all our citizens and give a voice to the millions in our country with opinions that do not mirror his own. Isn’t that what we all hope for?
Vinnie Gambini was considering an ass-kicking over $200. Our stakes are quite a bit higher.
