Traficant's Web Site Down with the Speed of Light

Congressional Web Site | Arthur Wildfire! March

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

With the speed of light, House members had Traficant's web site removed. The most provocative library of one minute speeches, lost. Please join me in demanding the House that Traficant's web site be brought back up until after recess. At the very least, his one minute speeches. Ask your representative what they are trying to hide.

I'm in for 10 bucks worth of dimes.

[NeoCaveman]

too dangerous to be seated Amen.

Beam me up ping list...If you want on or off...freepmail me don't be shy.

[Askel5]

You're a prince.

Seriously, this guy ends up in jail, my Mom's just going to have to deal with the fact I'm bent on getting a convict for a pen pal and publishing my mash notes for all the world to see (with his permission, of course).

(Though it's true that, for every letter I send Traficant, I ought to send one first to the 70-something priest they've got in the hoosegow for protesting at an abortion clinic ... assuming he's still removed from society for our protection. I should check on that.)

[AnnaZ]

Any chance Merc & Anna could get him on the air?

[StoneColdGOP]

Go for it!!

"Somebody go back and get a shitload of dimes!"

[AnnaZ]

Ya think there's any hope we can keep him out of the pokey 'til the next show in August? Oh gosh I reallyreally would love to interview him, he ROCKS!

[nunya bidness]

I'd say that between the court bringing a sentence and appeals he could make the show in August.

But if you don't, I'll bring the dimes.

[AnnaZ]

But if you don't, I'll bring the dimes.

It sounds like we have a deal.

 

;^)

 

But seriously, I'm gonna try and get this guy. Forget one-minute speeches, I'll yield to him a whole hour!

I'm in.

Traficant was a borderline-mafia clown who, beyond the fact that he voted against the IRS at every opportunity (which is always a good thing)...

...he deliberately devalued the Austere Majesty of the Congress.

Which is, also, always a very good thing.

I'll boost my Monthly $$$ a buck or two for Storage if the Admins will archive every single Traficant One Minute Speech we can find. Any other takers?

[nunya bidness]

I'm in.

Billy Jeff Blow Job was going to pony up a roll of dimes but suddenly remembered he needed them to create the appearance of a 'bigger' penis.

Hey, that's two of us!! At two bucks a pop, all we need is another 48 FReepers and we've raised our contribution $$$ by a hundred bucks a month for extra Storage.

And it makes sense, too!!

• The Buchananistas always loved Traficant, 'cause he always voted Tariffs and Minimum Wage -- not very capitalistic, but it fit his Representative Guido "little guy" schtick just fine.
• And the Capitalists oughtta love Traficant all the same, 'cause he's always voted against the IRS and in favor of Tax Cuts -- if only to save his own hide. You gotta love that!!
• What's more, the Tin-Foil-Hatters (if they contribute any cash to FR, which I kinda doubt) always loved Traficant, because there is no conspiracy theory whatsoever which Traficant did not entertain -- on the floor of Congress, no less!!
• FR's humorists loved Traficant for obvious reasons -- he was a Clown.
• And the Anarchists loved Traficant for much the same reason -- he made the rest of Government look like Clowns as well.

Archive Traficant!! He's gonna be permanently locked up for all posterity; the least we can do, is do the same for his One-Minute Speeches!!

I yield back the jailhouse rock of the Funniest Congressman in modern history.

[OrthodoxPresbyterian]

Beam me up!!!

If memory serves, fisticuffs were very common between Congress-critters. As a matter of fact, a rule or law was passed expressly forbidding duels behind the Capitol.

I agree, he has two jurors saying they wouldn't have voted to convict now. Rumors have the judge complict with the same mob they accuse him of being involved with.

He speaks his mind on the IRS/Treasury/FBI and other goobermint outfits that have gotten completely out of control, that's why he had to go.

[IRBlondie]

Thank you. I got to hear Mr. Traficant's speeches on Rush's TV show. Rush would call him "our favorite democrat" and he is still mine. I hope he gets re-elected.

[StoneColdGOP]

Jim Traficant on "Unspun"... Good Lord, that'd be a hoot!
