I hate the Torch, but I know what you mean. I can't help but like Traficant. Who seems to have taken noone down with him.
Fun to think that he could be pulling strings here!
I hate the Torch but like Traficant too...he got a raw deal from the joint House/Senate vote to boot him...while Toricelli, who IMO is a much worse crook, got a wrist slapping so as not to upset the Daschle-Senate status quo. Not Toricelli is screwing New Jersey voters out of a fair election.
I DO wish Traficant had taken some members of the Democratic Machine down...hopefully he will write a tell all book.
