If you are a long time DCW reader, you may remember how Vito Fossella was AND IS!!! my all time favorite criminal Republican. Back in 2008, he was the Democratic Rep for Staten Island….and it didn’t end well for him. You can read all about it here. I think my favorite part of the whole Fossella Fiasco was not when he went on the Floor, cried, and explained that alcoholism was a disease, but the people still loved him. It wasn’t the mandatory jail time (which he served.) Nope — it was when his real wife (and mother of 3 of his 4 children) said that if he came back to Staten Island, she’d shoot him.

Vito tried to return in 2010, and it didn’t go well for him at that first bagel breakfast. But here we are a decade later and VITO IS BACK!!! He announced that he is running in the Republican primary for Borough President this June.
