I don't know Genovese personally, but his reputation is that he is kind of a self-righteous jerk who revels in his "outcast" status. I think that his politics may be an excuse for many to stick it to a guy they see as pompous and self-righteous. Of course, that makes his detractors petty and small. Too often what is simply office politics is blamed on that other kind of politics.
