Guess not.
Welcome back, Jim ... I for one, want to hear what you have to say.
This should be good. He was never one to pull any punches.
I hope that he runs for Congress and wins.
Beam me up.

Youngstown — Federal inmate 31213-060 is heading home today to a city where many still revere him, despite a conviction that made him a national disgrace. James Traficant, the former Democratic congressman fond of staccato rants, cowboy boots and a weather-beaten toupee, is scheduled to leave a federal prison in Minnesota sometime today after serving seven years for bribery. Some residents today will wear “Welcome Home Jimbo” T-shirts and boast of his release. Others will tune out the banter, having grown tired long ago of the Traficant road show.

The nine-term Democrat from Youngstown left the Federal Medical Center in Rochester and stepped into a waiting cab. Traficant, who wore a gray T-shirt, white shorts, white knee-high socks and had his famously wild hair pulled back, ignored a reporter’s shouted question. He faces three years of probation. He hasn’t said whether he will retire or try to return to public life.

I apolgize ... but from some of the replies ... some STILL didn't know.
Knowing the FR search engine, I believe you did a search
and came up empty. FR Search is as big a joke as the
O Admin .
YACK! What’s that on top of his head?
Traficant and Rod Blagojevich would be a great pair on WLS radio.
I rest my case and I didn’t know it until I saw this thread.
So don’t worry about the SAPPs.
