How did I miss out on this guy over the years?
As you all know by now, Rep. James A. “Jim” Traficant (D-Ohio) was expelled from the U.S. House of Representatives this week for ethics violations after he was convicted in April on charges of bribery, tax evasion, and racketeering.
James A. Traficant
The Washington Post has a collection of quotes from the former congressman the paper describes as “colorful.”
Colorful? That’s an understatement.
Here’s a lovely quote:
“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!”
That was Traficant berating photographers covering the ethics subcommittee hearing regarding his criminal record. Share that with your mother tonight.
