Thanks for the *ping*. As pi**ed and disappointed as I was about his no-impeachment vote, I will still miss his one-minutes.

Not even Dapper Dan can save him now.

Shouldn't congress hear both of these jurors before casting this vote? Doesn't that make sense?

No. Loretta Sanchez MUST have her revenge!

What is Scotty saying? It is too small to read...

Its not like he's going to end up on a park bench somewhere (although he might wind up in the pokey before that). He'll likely get a fat talk radio or TV talk show contract. Trafficant will not have to worry where his next meal is coming from.

I don't believe we've heard the last of his one-minute speeches. Just the venue will change.

Very funny. I missed that one.

Tried to find a larger version over at Cagle.com, but I can't even find a Traficant category.

Ooooohhh yeah, that particular Squarepants show is a Classic!

Yeah, I know they're all new shows, but like the Simpson's show in it's first couple of seasons, they're re-running them all, two and three times.

Say, which member of congress most resembles Spongebob?

Powerpuff Girls is on now. The villain wears a turban. How ironic.

because Detore refused to testify at Traficant's trial, Detore didn't allow the jurors to hear his story...

I don't think that is the way it went. I read in the Plain Dealer that the judge ruled Detore and other witness could not testify. Looking for the link now...

Yes, Senator Wellstone sounds goody-twoshoes enough! I don't know, I'll have to think about it. Honestly, this comparison never occurred to me before.

Well, in ten minutes, those miscreant Powerpuffs will be over, maybe you'll get your chance at CSPAN then. Good luck!

One can only hope but will his show be called "The Jim Trafficant Show" or "Beam Me Up?" BTW, are you all sure that Traficant will be speaking on CSPAN at 6 EST? I have CSPAN on now and no indication that this will be happening.

Freepers, how about a little less focus on Traficant and a little more focus on what the Judiciary committee is doing again to a Bush appointee for the 5th Circuit??

One Jim Traficant is = to 20 conservative judges(even assuming they could ever be approved).

Too much sense that it surely won't happen in congress.

Traficant One Minute Speech:

COINCIDENCE October 8, 1997:

Mr. Speaker, Patricia Mendoza heckled the President; she got audited. Kent Brown sued the First Lady; he got audited. The National Center for Public Policy criticized the White House; they got audited. Billy Dale got the White House mad; he got audited. Paula Jones refused a cash settlement; she got audited.:

If that is not enough to tax your disgust, Shelly Davis, the author of Unbridled Power, who testified about IRS abuses before the Senate, got a notice in the mail yesterday; she is being audited.:

Unbelievable. After all this, an IRS spokesman said, coincidence, all coincidence.:

I say, Mr. Speaker, the IRS has turned into a bunch of political prostitutes. I want to apologize to all the hookers in America for having associated them with the IRS. I say beam me up, dot com, coincidence this.

I love Rush Limbaugh's suggestion that he should do a "scorched earth' speech on the Dems if he's voted out. Take some of them down with him.
