The writer of the headline deserves a kick in the pants.

Wasn’t he put away by the dems for something stupid?

It wasn't stupid, he was the democrats version of Olympia Snowe (R)and the Dem's took an attitude and got him out of the way.

He was bought and payed for but realized he was being used.

The Dem machine didn't like his attitude so they had him put away.

I wonder if he is still a union supporting democrat lackey?

Perhaps time away has made a good man out of him.

EGPWS - You are an ass.

He should be free and clear then now...
If I were him, i’d change parties and run again.

Would love to see it in 2010.

he took on the IRS and exposed and complained about their tactics. Next thing you know he goes to prison. You can’t mess with the IRS—

You’re right; NOBODY can mess with the IRS. The former head of the Iranian Secret Police who was living in exile in Upper Saddle River, N.J., told a friend of mine that the IRS is the most powerful and feared intelligence agency in the world. He said that had he had the powers and the resources the IRS has, the Shah would not have been overthrown.

Then he may have to become a dimocrat again if he doesn't please the republicans.

Point being, he will be free and clear when he doesn't politicize corruption for personal gain.

Me thinks he may have learned himself a hard lesson on that one already.....trust in God, question everyone else...

In a profession of blow dried hairpieces, Jim Traficant had the best hair, hands down.

Traficant is unpredictable. He might say he would vote for Obama, and for his programs.

I’d take Traficant over about 85% of our current republicans.

Jim Traficant held the world’s all time greatest press conference.

He called his colleagues a bunch of political prostitutes. The House demanded an apology so he called a press conference and apologized to prostitutes everywhere.

Trafficant has a predictable heart. Read his 1 min. speeches over 2-3 years.

I’m interested.

Traficant is not out of the legal woods yet. He still has to serve 3 years probation. They could still put him away if he doesn’t play his cards right.
