Sad news about Jim Traficant, former Ohio Congressman. Love him or not he was never boring. R.I.P.

RIP to a man who never held his tongue & HATED where Congress was going & currently is.

Traficant was sanctioned when, from the well of the House, he called the Congress a bunch of whores. No one has since proven him wrong. RIP

RIP James #Traficant. Scottie finally beamed him up. He is survived by his hairpiece.

One of major reasons #Traficant was loved in his district was from speaking out and voting against NAFTA.
