Did Ron Paul cast a vote?

He voted present which is basically the same as voting in Traficant's favor.

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

I've been watching him for 20 years and that's precisely what he is. The only reason he ever got to Congress in the first place is because he managed to convince a Mahoning County jury that he took $100K from the Mafia as part of a "one man sting operation" back when he was County Sherrif there.

Thanks for a very well written article, Kristinn.
I watched from 6pm til the vote ended. I was hoping Traficant had placed doubdt in his colleagues minds on the
way he was suppressed in his court hearings. I believe he WAS railroaded and harrassed. I can't clear him of any wrongdoing, not being there, but he is truly a scapegoat for the polital "whorehouse" as you referred to. With him gone, we can all appreciate a fresh, new and clean House.(Riiiiiiight!)
I can't wait for the "tell all" book from prison.

Kristinn, thanks for the superb eyewitness report.

...Thanks for a very well written article, Kristinn.

Yes indeed.

...I can't wait for the "tell all" book from prison.

He may suffer from a fatal "accident" there.

I will say here what i said before. Traficant may have been dirty, but so are 80-90% of those throwing him out. What he said was basically true AFA i can determine.

The hypocracy was thick in the air last evening. Particularly with Zoe Lofgren. 'Pod

kristinn..

Too many here will fail to see the paramount thrust of your post. The political fabric of this country is torn and frayed, by professional politicians, whores if you will.

!!!PING!!!

[Wondervixen]

Yea, but the man's not afraid to ruffle feathers telling it like it is...To the Dumocraps in Congress who constantly have to build additions onto their homes just to have enough closet space for all the skeletons, Trafficant was their Howard Cosell...NOT a welcome guy at Jackass Bar-B-Que's.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the heads up!

[FR_addict]

Love your title. It is very appropriate.

Great reporting and writing kristinn. I know what restraint it must have taken to sit silently in the gallery while watching the pompous, righteous power play below.

Thanks for always being there.

[Tribune7]

Hey, he took on the IRS before it was cool. Whatever else he may be that alone qualifies him as having done far more for his country that 90 percent of his fellow congresscritters.

"Whores throw whore out of whorehouse for halitotis"

That's delicious, Kristin.

Great post. I was thinking along the same lines when I heard the news on the radio, but you nailed it oh so well. Our esteemed House of Whores.

I nominate you for FReeper Post "Title of the Year".

[Humidston]

..the whores on the Hill were open for business--except the one with the bad hair and cheap suits.

Interesting..... The fat cats in the EXPENSIVE CUSTOM suits pointing their pompus haughty manicured fingers at the stiff dressed in the cheap suit.

They peer over their reading glasses and tsk tsk at the foolishness of a peon in their midst. The only thing missing in this picture are their powdered wigs to cover hair loss from advanced syphilis and thousand dollar bills bulging in their pockets!

The emperor not only has no clothes but he's waving his member in our faces and laughing hysterically!

I got a kick out of him explaining getting pulled over by the cops at 2:30am Saturday/Sunday morning with a .001 blood alcohol reading (= 1 beer). Said the FBI put the cops up to it looking for a DUI. Traficant pointed out that his car window didn't work and he had to open the door to speak with the officer. I've been there and I'd bet most real Americans can relate as well. I bet his antenna was bent and the car had primer spots on it too. ;-)

But I wonder what he spent his $155,000 congresscritter salary on if not haircuts, suits, and working cars?

[JulieRNR21]

I watched most of this spectacle and appreciated kristinn's 'insider perspective'.

The rush to remove Traficant is head-spinning.....IMHO logic & justice would have been served if they waited until after the recess.

No physical evidence & the juror's recent revelations are most disturbing!

Thank you for taking the time to write this outstanding article. I am so saddened to realize that our leadership is so corrupt.

The hypocrisy is unbelievable - they do nothing to Clinton and the rest - and go after him because he spoke the truth. I fear for our children's future....Thanks again -
