“We couldn’t get less popular,” said Anthony J. Ribustello
RONALD REAGAN did it. So did Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura. And in the Bronx, there can be added to the list of actors turned aspiring politicians (albeit on a smaller scale in terms of the office sought and the acting credits) the name Anthony J. Ribustello.
“He’s in, what’s that program?” said Darkoo Jaccoi, a 75-year-old from Pelham Bay who was playing cards one morning last week at the Northeast Bronx Senior Citizens Center in Throgs Neck, where a flea market was held. Mr. Ribustello was attending the flea market to promote his run for Bronx borough president, a post left vacant last month when Adolfo Carrión Jr. departed for Washington to serve as the president’s director of urban affairs.
“He’s in that program ‘The Sopranos’! ” Ms. Jaccoi said moments later, after having been prompted by another player at the table.
