"The Bush family has often been referred
to as the WASP version of the Corleones, but the Soprano clan makes for a much better comparison. At its best,'The Sopranos' is an acid mockery of the phony gravitas of the three 'Godfather' movies. Where Michael Corleone is heroically evil, an international player who consorts with statesmen and the Vatican before succumbing to his tragic flaw, Tony Soprano is a sewer rat engaged in the grubby business of preying on human weakness and fear -– when his fall comes, it will be tragic only to himself. Until then, however, he’s going to make as much money as he can for himself and his buddies, and leave the rest of the world holding the bill."
