U.S. Representative Thomas O’Malley represented Wisconsin in the early 1930s, and prior to that, Edwin Joseph O’Malley (1881-1953), born in the Bronx, was a ward boss for Tammany Hall, and served as the Commissioner of Public Markets in New York City. Another O’Malley who went far afield was King O’Malley (1858-1953). Meanwhile, the fictional Father Chuck O’Malley, whose portrayal by Bing Crosby in both Going My Way and The Bells of St. Mary’s won him Oscar nominations, is a reminder of a more innocent time, while in real life, His Eminence Seán P. O’Malley, who was hired to do damage control in Boston after the Catholic Church was rocked by sex scandals, is probably the only cardinal to have his own blog (www.cardinalseansblog.org).
