It's telling that Gary Condit was the only member who voted against Trafficant's expulsion. I guess he was thinking, "There but for the grace of Gephardt and Hastert go I."

I always wondered what Rush saw in Trafficant. He was just another mobbed-up gun-grabbing RAT criminal to me. Good riddance.

I was cooking dinner while he was up giving his speech. I was in and out of the TV room and came in just in time to hear him naming a sherrif by name and county. I had hoped that he would take the whole lot down with him.

But I should have known better.

His judges in the House were fellow members who have betrayed their country, gutted the Constitution, looted the treasury, abused their governmental power, obstructed justice, physically assaulted their fellow citizens, and did nothing about a member who impeded what turned into the murder investigation of one of his mistresses.

Most excellent report, Kristinn. Thanks

The House of Representatives gathered tonight to cast judgment on one of their own for besmirching the reputation of that august body.

Cool post Kristinn...

I am still riding the wire over what I saw tonight, I need to read the "backlogs" here on FR..

[Askel5]

Wow, you got "whore" onto the Breaking news screen 3 times. I salute you.

I have this image in my head with the full body of the House standing pointing the finger at Trafficant and Condit cowering behind the group looking on.

Thanks for the eyewitness report.

[kristinn]

Thank you for the kind words. Sorry to post and run, but I need some sleep so I can work tomorrow :-)

G'night all.

I find the fact that not a single one of them voted against expulsion except the one guy that literally had nothing left to lose: Gary Condit. The total unanimity of the vote simply is too overwhelming to believe that there wasn't some armtwisting behind the scenes. Just by sheer randomness, you would think at least 10 or so members would have smelled something fishy and voted no (after all, if more meaningful proof of guilt came along, they could always file another expulsion bill). And after all the unignorable questions about the evidence that Traficant presented, and the way he was prevented from submitting much of anything exculpatory either at trial or before the "ethics" committee, you would have expected that number to go up to 25 or so. Heck, at least the guys in the districts surrounding Traficant's should have supported him, because their constituents feel the same as Traficant's own: That he was being railroaded. But no, even they turned on him

To me, the only possible explanation is that the leaderships of both parties made it very clear to their members behind the scenes: "Vote this guy out ... or else."
