Vinny, Joey aint no dummy, I don't think anyone said that. He's a very sharp guy and understands the politics of LCN as good as any old timer, he grew up in it thanks to his dad and uncle.

To his credit, I'm not his biggest fan, after the shit with stanfa...they were a mess. He and ralph made all their loyalists and brought the structure back. There were earners out there in the 90s and Joey got his taste. Veasey was a scumbag and a lunatic, Stanfa needed a mutt like that because his own guys were too stupid to kill anybody. He barely knows Joey or his guys.
