Too bad Kevin Costner is a bit too old now to make a reprisal

Interesting...

Why do they idolize Elliot Ness? He didn't break the Capone case, a small army of Accountants did. Hoover didn't want him... The City of Cleveland fired him after a drunken hit and run. He died a drunk in the 1950's.

Try reading this and you'll find his life was a bit more than that, though he was not a choirboy by any means;

Well, someone took the time to make him look good; he did do some good things, but he tended to grandstand a lot - more than most politicians do today. In many ways, he reminds me of our last president.
