Read the quotes. I say we let him out of jail, and act as national comic relief. Court jester or something...

I'd probably settle for him being my drunk uncle.
"Think about it. While 60 percent of taxpayer calls to the IRS go unanswered, the IRS agents were watching Marilyn Chambers do the Rotary International. Beam me up here. It is time to pass a flat 15 percent sales tax and abolish this gambling, porno-watching IRS completely."
:D

He has some interesting planks in his platform.
Gun Control:
"Madam Speaker, it started with the training bra and then it came to the push-up bra; the support bra, the Wonder bra, the super bra," he said. "There is even a smart bra. Now, if that is not enough to prop up your curiosity, there is now a new bra. It is called the holster bra, the gun bra. That is right, a brassiere to conceal a hidden handgun. Unbelievable. That is next? A maxi-girdle to conceal a stinger missile? Beam me up. I advise all men in America against taking women to drive-in movies who may end up getting shot in a passionate embrace. I yield back all those plain old Maidenform brassieres and chain link pantyhose."
On the environment:
"If you don't get those cameras out of my face, I'm gonna go 8.6 on the Richter scale with gastric emissions that'll clear this room!" — Traficant to photojournalists covering his House ethics subcommittee hearing
The space program:
"Now NASA is on an unmanned space mission to the moon. I think NASA should redirect and have an unmanned space mission to Washington, DC, and try to find out if there is any intelligent life left in the Nation's Capital."
And finally, women's issues:
"A California woman has set a world record by hooking 7,000 brassieres together to create the biggest bra ball in history. This bra ball is a protest against the way women's breasts have been exploited. Now, if that is not enough to challenge Victoria's Secret, this buxom diva has filed a lawsuit against another artist who is also building a ball of bras. Think about it. America's courts are bogged down with drugs and murder, and now we will be tied up with 200 pounds of Maidenforms. Unbelievable. Even Slappy White of hillzoo.com cannot believe this. What is next, Congress? A stainless steel panty hose contest? Beam me up. I yield back the fact that all this money being used for this litigation would be better served if they put it towards a cure for breast cancer."
I yield back to! Whatever that means.

"Mr. Speaker, news reports say the Pentagon is stuck with 600,000 black berets made in China, and the Pentagon is storing these Communist hats in a warehouse in Pennsylvania," he said. "If that is not enough to bust your balloons, the Pentagon is trying to sell these Communist hats to foreign countries; and guess what the Pentagon is hearing from these foreign countries. Why would we buy them? Why would we want our troops to wear hats made in China? Beam me up. The Pentagon just did not waive the Buy American Act, the Pentagon waved Old Glory the wrong way. Mr. Speaker, I suggest that these Chinese berets be made into suppositories and be used on Pentagon brass."

possibly the only semi-honest person in congress - no wonder they had to get rid of him

As a constituent of Mr Traficant........it has been a wild ride. I never voted for the man....but he sure was entertaining. Between the bell bottom pants and the Pinky Lee suits, he was a must see.

At least he gave amusing entertainment for stolen money. Most representatives just f##k you and run (or get re-elected by foks with blinders on).

Methinks Eagler thinks all our elected Officials are clean and truthfull......I wonder why there are Lobbyists???
-
The judge should have sentenced him to a better haircut and then let him go.
Seems that Torrecelli running for re-election and Traficant in prison is an intersting dichotomy.
You think it might have something to do with politics rather than ethics?.....nah

Traficant: Were you and I sex partners?
Ferrante: No
Traficant: Why not?
:D
