A little KY might’ve protected you, Jimbo
He was always fun......crazy, but fun.
I think he needs to spend the weekend with Jim Beam and then he’ll be ok.
His rug alone must have made the other inmates think he was crazy....prisoners knew he was nuts...what was wrong with the people who voted for him every other year????????????
He told Greta he might say some shocking things to her and IMO, he did!
At the end of the interview he was joined by his wife. He didn’t permit her to visit him during his 7 years imprisonment.
I didn’t realize that it had been 7 years.
He told Greta he grew a long pony tail. Seven years worth? !!!! The prisons do not permit hairpieces. LOL.
Many weasels gave their lives before Jim went to the joint.
That's like going from the ninth circle of hell to the eighth.
GRETA INTERVIEW JAMES TRAFFICANT
ON WHETHER HE IS AN ANTI-SEMITE:
“No, I’m not. And that’s exactly what they’re going to say. And I expect that.”
“I believe that Israel has a powerful stranglehold on the American government. They control both members of the House, the House and the Senate. They have us involved in wars in which we have little or no interest.”
“The prisons do not permit hairpieces”
Nor live animals so it was a double whammy for Traficant.
Sounds like the Aryan Brotherhood got a hold of him.
LOL
What a nutcase!
And in other breaking news, it is reported that the sun will rise tomorrow morning.
Congratulations! My prayers, best wishes, and sincere thanks and appreciation for your son's service and may God always bless your family.
Thank you very much. I will pass along your kind words.
