Former Rep. Jim Traficant (D-Ohio) lit into the current leadership in Washington on Wednesday, warning the IRS that he wants to "kick them in the crotch," apologizing to "all the hookers in America" for once comparing members of Congress to prostitutes and telling President Barack Obama to "stimulate this."
Traficant was released earlier this month after serving a 7-year stint in federal prison on corruption charges.
Appearing on MSNBC’s "Hardball," Traficant said that even though he is out of prison, he still has "Federales swarming around me."
Traficant then launched into one of his patented rants, touching on everything from the anti-tax tea parties, to instituting a flat tax to the "big whorehouse" that is the U.S. Capitol.
"I want to get the IRS, kick them in the crotch real good," he said. "I want to reform the Justice Department who investigates themselves when they commit crimes as they did in my case. It is going to explode before it is over."
"They have to throw the tax code out, abolish the Sixteenth Amendment and come out with a 25 percent fair tax retail sales tax," he continued. "We can give billions of billions of dollars to banks who won’t lend it to people unless they have three dollars in the bank for every one dollar we borrow. I’m tired of seeing this money going all over the world."
"Stimulate this," Traficant said. "That’s what I’m saying."
Since leaving jail, Traficant said that he has been speaking at "a lot of these tea bag parties," and that the folks at the anti-tax rallies "mean well."
The colorful former lawmaker also did not pass up an opportunity to launch back into one of his classic floor speeches comparing lawmakers in Washington to prostitutes.
"Years ago on the House floor on a foreign aid debate, I called the members of the House of Representatives a bunch of political prostitutes," he said. "They demanded my words be stricken. They jumped up like 100 TV evangelists."
"I want to apologize to all the hookers in America for having associated them with the United States House of Representatives," he continued. "Yeah, I think it is a big whorehouse and they better start taking care of America and stop worrying about the Middle East and worry about the Midwest."
Asked if he would consider running for Congress again, Traficant responded: "I’m 25 years old, I’m eligible to run. There is no restriction on me running."
"I would have to look at the variables on it," he explained. "I don’t know what I’m going to do. I may run."
Would love to hear a conversation between Tficant and Biden. Laugh a minute, I’m sure!
How’d the prison barber do on his hair?
Even if he runs as a Democrat I would hope he makes a comeback.
Man the one liners he could come up with...
"Hey the only difference between me and Charlie is he didn't get caught, at least I did the time"....
I’ve forgotten what he went to jail for, but I sure haven’t forgotten that dead animal toupe he used to wear—LOL!
coming out of the pen, he looked pretty good
maybe us taxpayers funded a new rug
Democrat or not, I love Jim Traficant. How can you not?
Who’s got that Cong seat now?
Is it somebody we’d like to torpedo?
LMAO! Calling them prostitutes! He's right of course but he's a pot calling the kettle black.
Absolutely! :-)
In my post above, I mentioned I would love to hear a converstation between Traficant and Biden. Call it "Plugs and Rugs"!
Regardless of his politics it’s hard not to like Traficant!
I have no idea but if he ran I’d bet he’d win the seat back.
LOL! I love that pic.
He had his regular barber at home do it; he just used USPS Priority Mail for haircuts.
You betcha. It is a run-of-the-mill liberal 'rat jerkoff. I think the pissant's name is Ryan.(Not my district).
ROTFLOL!
