Mobster to Son: You're a Disgrace to My Gonads

Campione

Colombo crime-family soldier Frank "Frankie Camp" Campione, 65, has written a furious eight-page letter to his son Michael, excoriating his progeny for ratting him out to the feds. It's being entered into evidence as a judge prepares to sentence Campione, who's been fuming in jail because his son won't take his calls and some "Rat cop" threw him in the hole. The Post got a hold of the letter, and so now we have this priceless gem, which we'll be sure to unload one day on our own ungrateful, treacherous offspring: "You don't call those Rat Bastard's [sic] on nobody. Never mind you own father. What were you thinking? You are my son and you came from my balls and you should have known better." Now go get your shinebox and respect your father's balls, see?

Poor guy. From now on, he's got to look at his balls every day and wonder...what if?

Hopefully this guinea pos leaves the big house in a wooden box....

Ey yo, Frankie Camp! Your kid may be a disgrace to your balls, but you're a criminal, and therefore a disgrace to the whole human race.

Probably the best thing you ever made was that kid. But you my friend, the best part of you was probably left in the filth of your afterbirth.

Gonads is such an awesome word. People should use it more!

The headline originally used the word 'testicles,' but was changed. Apparently someone agrees with you that 'gonads' is more awesome.

Didn't The Situation say something like that to Paulie D last episode?

Unless he's murdered or molested another flesh and blood family member, testifying against your own father is a lowly thing to do. Even if your father or other family members are greaseball thugs, they're still your family.

Yeah, they're still your family. But who knows how the son was treated by his dad while he was growing up. Certainly not me.

My bet is that it wasn't an easy thing for the son to do. Personally, I'm happy about this. His son did the right thing and if his dad had any real balls (or remorse), he'd be the first one to admit it. At least someone in the family has their values straight.

You can't even talk to Italians. Italian Americans have no idea what it means to be Italian. Enough already.

... and what might you be "American"? Do not put a label on one nationality because there is good and evil in all:) Have a lovely day Willie Nillie!!
