I knew he was getting out Wednesday, and thought SOMEONE might post a thread.

Guess not.

Welcome back, Jim ... I for one, want to hear what you have to say.

[svcw]

This should be good. He was never one to pull any punches.

Has it really been 7 years!?

I would prefer Jim Traficant, felon, to 3/4 of the House of Rep. and 100% of Dems. I have always wondered if he did not get railroaded because of his plain spoken rants. He was an embarrassment to the Dems. and a great help in finding that aggravating kernal of truth under the pile of garbage the Dems piled on--plus, he was entertaining.

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. In his speeches on the floor of the U.S. House, spittle...

ROCHESTER, Minn. – Former Ohio Rep. James Traficant walked out of a Minnesota prison Wednesday morning after serving a seven-year sentence for bribery and racketeering. 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.

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 .

[Clay Moore]

YACK! What’s that on top of his head?

[knarf]

This is what the search engine showed

[abishai]

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.
