It isn't that people don't care. But he used this same stuff at the ethics committee hearing.

And who'd watch Donahue? Ick.

Joe Lieberman is a bigger crook than Trafficant is, IMO.

He's rambling, he's ranting.....but this is not a smooth guy. It's probably playing well in Peoria, but not in the chamber.

He may be saving it for his additional 15 minutes.

Or he may just fill in some more details.

Everything's a conspiracy to Traficant.

As he tells his story, it sounds like he has been hanging around the wrong people. Guilty by association.

Why not just let it all rip? Perhaps that's why he asked for the additional 15 minutes -- he's retrying his case now and will use the last 15 minutes to point accusative fingers at some of the scum sitting in judgment (my dream).

He's such a fool. He won't name any names, he's spending all his time trying to clear himself. Now it is all about him. Sounds like a small time crook to me.

It sounds like many of his acquaintances couldn't be trusted. I can believe some of this.

Speechwriting 101. Start with an outline.

Wisconsin is still at .10, but it's going to be lowered to .08 (and it probably will be in Ohio, if they threaten to cut federal funding). I know an Asst. DA who will be overjoyed when the BAC is lowered to .08, but the Tavern League is depressed.

"I've said it before and I'll say it again, we are SUCH cheap dates and we are SO easily amused!"

Guilty as charged :)
