Hundreds of mobsters arrested, charged with having very odd nicknames

Federal, state and local agents swooped in late last week and arrested more than 100 suspected mobsters from New York City to Italy. Officials said it was the largest operation against the mob in the FBI’s history.

But the most interesting thing about the story is the oddball collection of nicknames associated with the hoods. Such as:

ben-bernanke
Bennie "Big Bucks" Bernanke hasn't been arrested yet

• “The Vet” 

• “Mousey”
• “Little John” 

• “Beach” 

• “Tony Bagels” 

• “Johnny Bandana” 

• “Hootie” 

• “Meatball” 

• “Burger” 

• “Vinny Carwash” 

• “Junior Lollipops” 

• “Pooch” 

• “Johnny Cash” 

• “Fat Dennis”, “Little Dennis” and “The Beard” 

• “Baby Shacks”, “The Old Man” and “The Professor” 

• “Baby Fat Larry” and “BFL” 

• “Mush” 

• “Jimmy Gooch” 

• “Benji”, “The Claw” and “The Fang” 

• “Cheeks”, “Anthony Firehawk”, “Anthony Nighthawk”, “Nighthawk” and “Firehawk” 

• “Lumpy”, “Fatty” and “Fats”

From now on you will please address the Editor as “Johnny Keyboard” and the Administrator as “Vinnie Six-Pack.” (It’s a reference to his abs. Really. Has nothing to do with his drinking habits.)

What we really need are nicknames for the mobsters in Washington. Nicknames like Janet “Open Border” Napolitano? Barack “Kid Kenya” Obama? Al “Funny Girl” Franken? Ben “Big Bucks” Bernanke?

Got any other suggestions?

  • Besides all the funny nicknames dredged up while arresting 50, 60, and 70 year old wiseguys, this is Eric Holder's national show-and-tell to try to make us think his justice dopepartment is actually doing something useful. Think of all the crap he would have gotten from the lame-stream media if he'd actually arrested muslim terrorists or black panthers! No, no, I'll take old Italian wiseguys with walkers and oxygen bottles for $50.

  • Hey Vinny Six-Pack, I need someone "taken care of", if you get my drift.....I heard down in the dry cleaner's that you could help me with my little problem. This "Johnny Keyboard" I hear is a good hitman, and I'm told you know how to get in touch with him...

      • Wow, a hitman nicknamed "Administrator!" My wife thinks your handsome, she wants to know how much it will cost! *sigh*

        p.s. Can't win for losing, you know Administrator?

        • Puh-leeeeze! Do not throw gasoline on the fire!

          I get death threats and he gets groupies. Life is not fair. I think I'm a groupie socialist. We need to redistribute groupies from each according to his ability to give, to each according to his need.

          • BWAWAWAHAHAHAHahahahaahaaa! Maybe I am a socialist after all! BTW, editor, we are satisfied customers! Kudos! OoraH! USA!!!! ***Salute***

  • What??? No Obomie-the-commie? He's from the Chicago thuggary.
