Yup! That’s Jim! But, whacky as he is, he was a breath of fresh air as far as dems go! And there’s never going to be a Republican, much less a Conservative, elected in the Mahoning Valley area. Ain’t gonna happen. He made the dems very nervous, so they screwed him!

Thanks for the good natured response to the pictures, FRiend! Just curiously, are you old enough to remember Congressman Mike Kirwan (D) and his "Billion Dollar Ditch" project?

In any case, Mahoning Valley politics have always been, shall we say, "interesting" (in the Chinese sense of that word). Of course, the mob and unions contributed to the bizarre political stew in that region.
