>Initially elected as a Democrat, Street switched political parties to be a Republican before he began his Senate term -- a move that gave the GOP control of the House

Wow, what a douche he was

My favorite Milton Street caper is when he opened up his own duck boat company and tried to use Ride the Ducks’ river ramp for free and without permission.

And nothing of value was lost. This guy was an absolute clown and contributed nothing during the 23 or so months he was in office 42 years ago. He was a perpetual candidate for something (mayor, city council, senate) and ran a bunch of side hustles. Definitely a colorful local failed politician.

Ah yes. Mifflin Street.

Milton’s long-lost twin brother.

That's so Kaufman-esque.

I also love the touch of admitting he's been accused of a lot of things but never been found guilty, then going with the start of every street hustle I've ever heard - "Now what I'm trying to do for you, right here..."

Musical number really ties it all together.

And the coffin. Don’t forget the coffin. What’s the intended symbolism there? We’ll never know!

Thank you for your service.

I’ve heard a lot about the Street family over the years but this video was…something.

I was a horse racing teller. Dude loved the ponies, never fucking tipped when he won! Cheap bastard! His wife was a sweetheart tho.

You’re supposed to tip the teller when you win? Oops!

Just kick them a dollar or two when you cash out, it's no big deal, but they will remember you and be a lot nicer to you.

Now Philly politics is less entertaining but also less annoying.

The guy was comically corrupt and dirty, and I'm not sad to see him go.
