[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Mostly because the guy is amusing and quite sharp. There was major misconduct and perjury at his trial. Capri Cafaro wanted his seat and what Capri wanted her daddy would get for her.

He never really was a Washington insider, Traficant was true to his roots. If you were one of his he would look out for you.

Perfect, never. The kind of guy you would have over for a beer? Yep.

Granted, Traficant was amusing but he knew the D.C. drill - even though he got caught up in the corrupted musings. I’m sick of excusing those who break the law and I don’t give a flying crap if he was sharp enough to join Mensa or Maniacs.

I really do wish Traficant the best, but he really does need to find the exit door.
