  <description>&lt;p&gt;Hillary and Tina cover former Massachusetts Senator, William Bulger.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Senator William Bulger enjoyed a distinguished career. BUT, as his brother, crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger, Jr. went on the lam and hit the FBI's most wanted list, the family connection emerged, casting a shadow over his political legacy. &lt;/p&gt;
