also referring to him as an "idiot." This according to a Daily Beast reporter on the Chris Hayes show.
So to all DUers making the Fredo references, you're not alone!
Sources also say Daddy is fuming at Fredo's history-making fuck up.

(11,521 posts)I'd read a story a while ago that 45* picked Jr. up at his college to go to a ballgame and 45* punched his son in the face because he wasn't wearing a suit. I'm guessing there's not a lot of love or respect for the old man, just a lot of fear.

I've never seen the Godfather series. (Yes I am totally deprived)

(53,056 posts)but the first is also excellent.

(65,159 posts)1 is terrific. 2 is epic. 3 not so much.
However, the Saga which is a re-edit of the first two movies end to end and time sequence consistent, is an amazing watch for someone who wants to know the whole story. Lots of editing room floor stuff back into it as well.
It's long, but it's really good.

(11,257 posts)Fredo's stupidity became an issue because Michael was always considered to be the smart one.
Junior may be as dumb as Fredo, but there's certainly no Michael in that family.

5. It's like a bad remake of The Godfather, but every member of the family is Fredo.

(4,178 posts)When the Access Hollywood tape was released ,there was rumor that someone related to the Apprentice had another tape. Trump was said to have used the N word and to have called his son a "retard". The son was apparently junior who had angered his father by a bad real estate deal.
