Celebrity's Relative

The Resume

    (April 5, 1933- )
    Born in Brooklyn, New York
    Middle name is Anthony
    Real estate developer
    Husband of Vice Presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro (1960- 2011)

Why he might be annoying:

    He was at the center of controversy following his wife's selection by Walter Mondale, due to his refusal to release his separately-filed tax returns.
    He eventually released them, but the scandal harmed his wife's momentum and the ticket lost in a landslide.
    He pleaded guilty to fraudulently obtaining bank financing in a real estate transaction and was fined $1,000 and was sentenced to 150 hours of community service (1985).
    He was indicted on unrelated felony charges regarding an alleged bribery of Queens Borough President Donald Manes concerning a cable television contract (1986).
    He was revealed to be the owner of a property rented by Gambino crime family member and pornography tycoon Robert DiBernardo around the same time that his wife ran for a 1992 Senate seat, again damaging her prospects.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He served with the U.S. Marines as a second Lieutenant.
    He started dating Geraldine when she was a senior at Marymount Manhattan College after he graduated from Iona College.
    Ralph Blumenthal of the New York Times wrote of him: 'Friends see him as an avid sportsman and fierce competitor, a generous neighbor, a stickler for fairness. Almost everyone agrees he has a penchant for privacy.'
    He was supportive of his wife's bid to become the first female Vice President (they were married for over fifty years).
