He was an “old style” type democrat. Patriotic but corrupt. However, he had a hell of a sense of humor. Today’s Democrats are not patriotic, corrupt to their cores and have zero sense of humor Their corruption makes James Trafficante an angelic choirboy by comparison.
I will miss Trafficante and thank him for the laughs he gave us. He paid with hard time in prison for his errors and thus is even.
If GOD has a sense of humor and I am sure he does, Trafficante will give him many laughs through eternity. However, I guess he will have to change his line from “Beam me up” to “Beam me down God.”

R.I.P. We need several dozen DEMs like him. His crimes such as they were weren’t likely as bad as about half of the ones who voted to remove him had hidden in their lives. Ironically the one who voted against his removal was a congressman highly suspected of murder who was later cleared.

The Rat Party feared him...so they crushed him!
To: mware
yes, indeed. Zell Miller was a statesmen. They just don’t make them like that anymore. He was a patriot and I like that he looked like an eagle. I am using the pass tense but he may still be alive.
Would have made a great president.

Didn’t Trafficant went after the IRS with vegance? Also he sided with President Reagan I believe. So that put him as a target from the rat party. Yes Jim may have been corrupt but he always sided with the American People. RIP JIM

What about the hair?
Separate funeral.
Pretty darn funny.

There’s a lot you two do not know about miller or you would never say such.
He’s as crooked as they come.
