The Godmother


Godmother

Dispensing with all that early stuff about the Godmother's origins in Chicago and Arkansas, we pick up our saga in a  New York hospital, where she is hospitalized after an attack ( a blood clot-not a shooting). She is supposed to be under heavy security protecting her from the other Washington crime families, most notably, Lenny "the Louse" Graminelli and Johnnie "the Mick" Cain.






Lenny "the Louse"


Johnnie "the Mick"



Leaving his girlfriend at home, Bill Clinton arrives at the hospital for a (short) visit. He is shocked to find that nobody is guarding the Godmother. Not only is there no diplomatic security, there are no doctors or other patients. Except for the Godmother, who is asleep and snoring loudly, the entire hospital seems deserted. It's obviously a setup. Bill realizes he has no time to waste before the syndicate arrives with a subpoena in hand.

Suddenly, a nurse enters and asks what he is doing there. For the next 15 minutes....(censored)..........


"I don't think that's funny."


After that, Bill asks the nurse to help him move the Godmother's bed to a broom closet on the next floor.

Just then, Bill hears footsteps coming down the hallway. Peering through the broom closet door, he tries to stifle the Godmother's loud snores. Who is it? Is it Johnnie "the Mick" or one of his boys? All Bill can make out is that the mysterious figure is dressed in a trench coat and hat. There is a slight bulge in his pocket. Could it be a subpoena?

"Who are you?" Bill asks the stranger.

"It's me, Bill-Anthony Weiner. Huma's husband," said the man opening his coat to reveal his "identity".

"It is you", said Bill, obviously relieved to see one of his own. "Come with me quick. There isn't a minute to lose."

Leaving the still-snoring Godmother in the broom closet, the two men rushed downstairs to the front of the hospital where they stood on the steps.

They waited.

"How's Huma?" asked Bill.

"I don't know. I never see her. She's always with the Godmother, so you tell me.", answered Weiner.

"How would I know?, responded Bill. "I never see the Godmother these days. She's always with Huma. By the way, how's the baby?"

"Listen. What's that noise? said Weiner. "It sounds like a motor."

"Nah. That's just the Godmother snoring," answered Bill.



"I don't think that's funny."

Suddenly a car turned the corner, turned off its headlights, and proceeded slowly down the street to the front of the hospital where the two men were standing. Bill could see a passenger in front reaching for something with his hand. Could it be a subpoena?

"Anthony, stick your hand under your coat like you're reaching for a gun."

Weiner did as he was told. The car passed by ever so slowly. Four men inside looked at Clinton and Weiner standing there with their hands in their coats.

The car passed on and disappeared down the street. Weiner was breathing heavily.

"OK, Anthony, you can take your hand out of your coat now."

Weiner continued to breathe heavily.

"Anthony! Get yer hand out of your pocket, for Christ's sake!" 

"Sorry."




"Now that's funny!"

Stayed tuned for The Godmother 2

(Maybe.)
