I did a search and found articles 3 or more years old.
Guess not.
Welcome back, Jim ... I for one, want to hear what you have to say.
This should be good. He was never one to pull any punches.
I hope that he runs for Congress and wins.
Beam me up.
Has it really been 7 years!?
vaudine
I thought I came across a post on this, the day he got out.
Sure you did.
Well, I’m impressed ... no one knew Jim Traficant got out Wednesday

Youngstown — Federal inmate 31213-060 is heading home today to a city where many still revere him, despite a conviction that made him a national disgrace. James Traficant, the former Democratic congressman fond of staccato rants, cowboy boots and a weather-beaten toupee, is scheduled to leave a federal prison in Minnesota sometime today after serving seven years for bribery. Some residents today will wear “Welcome Home Jimbo” T-shirts and boast of his release. Others will tune out the banter, having grown tired long ago of the Traficant road show. In his speeches on the floor of the U.S. House, spittle...

ROCHESTER, Minn. – Former Ohio Rep. James Traficant walked out of a Minnesota prison Wednesday morning after serving a seven-year sentence for bribery and racketeering. The nine-term Democrat from Youngstown left the Federal Medical Center in Rochester and stepped into a waiting cab. Traficant, who wore a gray T-shirt, white shorts, white knee-high socks and had his famously wild hair pulled back, ignored a reporter’s shouted question. He faces three years of probation. He hasn’t said whether he will retire or try to return to public life.

[snip] Traficant’s wife, Tish, declined comment on her or her husband’s plans after his release. “When he comes home, it’s up to him, whatever he wants to do,” she said Friday. [snip]
I apolgize ... but from some of the replies ... some STILL didn't know.
Knowing the FR search engine, I believe you did a search
and came up empty. FR Search is as big a joke as the
O Admin .
YACK! What’s that on top of his head?
Traficant and Rod Blagojevich would be a great pair on WLS radio.
I rest my case and I didn’t know it until I saw this thread.
So don’t worry about the SAPPs.

Where were you searching; in your sock drawer?
Try this:
I don't give a $hit.
True, very true.
You’re not a very good researcher. The FR threads have been linked below.
It’s all the Youngstown talk shows have talked about for the last couple of weeks.
WARNING. EMPTY MOUTH BEFORE WATCHING TO PRESERVE VIDEO SURFACES!
The more Traficant news, the better....
He and that thing on his head always used to crack me up.
not even that thing on his head knew.
Imo, a real conservative. I hope he runs for Senator and wins.
I mentioned it on a Rangle post that now that Jim is out there is a room for Charlie.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2329306/posts
Certainly if Alcee Hastings, impeached federal judge, can be elected to Congress, there is room for James Traficant to return. He has more sense than ALL the Democrats and many of the Republicans. If I could make him president, I would.
Beam me up!!
The only comparison I’m making is that they are both insane and hated by Democrats.
Being helpful to other FReepers is always preferable to being insulting. Perhaps it wasn’t the poster’s fault or perhaps it was a simple typo, rather than being “not very good.”
I prefer to be truthful. TYhanx for the help.
That raccoon he wears on his head went looking for him.
There have been several posts on him during this last week with links to speechs on utube and also some of his 1 minutes posted...Got a laugh all over again....He is one democrat that I liked....
I never mind a multiple post, there are lots of them on F R. But if you go back on previous one’s, you can get a lot of laughs. He was good...
The picture always cracks me up! :-)
I saw his picture in the WSJ, without the rug. ;o)
Keywords can be used to classify an article for future search. For example, we used to have an occasional "Freeper Book Club" article which yielded a great variety of reading suggestions. Whenever I see a thread like that now, I add the keyword bookclub to the article as I'll remember to use that keyword in the future in a search....
Now, iff you click anywhere inside the search box in the upper right-hand corner, the search box will expand and let you search by (1) keyword (2) user (3) title or (4) Yahoo. I've tried it in both the current versions of Internet Explorer and FireFox. My recommendation for a "title" search is to search for the main word in a title, like Traficant, rather that trying to search the entire title. Hope this helps!
LOL!...GOSH I miss the guy!!
I knew. I guess I was just waiting for his upcoming interview on Fox! Can’t wait to hear what he has to say about the state of things. He’s always good TV.
IS there an upcoming imterview? ... MUST SEE TV, FOR SURE !!!
I generally look for the subject .. in this case, "Jim Traficant" .. and no one (apparently) used the guy's name as a keyword.
I'M dumb ???
Yes, I heard on Fox he was going to be on either Hannity or Greta, I can't remember, but I think it's coming up this week.
