He's been beamed up, or maybe down.

He was younger than I thought he was.

I thought his toupee was the best fashion statement for politicians; cheap, ugly and I’m sure he didn’t give a damn what anybody thought anyway. He probably thought it made him look like Cary Grant. Sign of the times, but then again, low-life politicians are, well, the norm. RIP you miserable ba$tard.

He was a better conservative than 90% of the GOP.

Just a few months before 9/11 he warned that Bin Laden could walk across our southern border with a suitcase nuke and nothing would stop him.

He often said that most of our intelligence agencies were so stupid they could throw themselves at the ground and miss.

For all his faults, including the fact that he was a Democrat, I still consider Traficant to be one of the good guys. There are no good Democrats left, just hard line Marxist ideologues.

He was a conservative populist Democrat, offbeat but very amiable and funny. I’m inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt against the IRS, although he was “convicted” in a kangaroo tax court. RIP, Mr. Traficant.
