    Anyone see Congressman James Traficant's accusations towards Janet Reno? I almost pissed myself laughing.

    Now, let me preface this by saying that I was in quite a state last night and may have, um, missed some of the details. But this is the gist of it:

    Traficant claims he has signed affidavits from credible witnesses who will claim that Janet Reno's inconsistent conduct in appointing special prosecutors and investigating alleged crimes by the Clinton administration is the result of....

    ...blackmail...

    ...by the Mafia...

    ...over Reno's alcoholism...

    ...public drunkenness amd hushed-up DWIs...

    ...and sexual liasons with call girls.

    Now, I've heard some pretty wild things in the years I've followed politics. I've been told that the Republican Party wants senior citizens to have to eat dog food to survive, and that the GOP wants dirty air and sick children. I've been told that President Clinton wants more shooting deaths so as to further his anti-gun agenda.

    But this one takes the cake.

    Now, I also should add that they went to commercial before they could sum up the segment, so I don't know if Traficant recanted any of this hilarity by saying, 'Ha ha, just kidding, Janet ya old drunken vagitarian!' But he seemed serious enough.

    PS: Traficant is a Democrat.

    Bad news, BK. Traficant has been the GOP's number one courtship target for the past year. I wish I were joking.

    Of course, Democrats set the standard in this regard last year, when they persuaded Rep. Mike Forbes of New York, an unstable jerk in his own right, to switch to the D's. It's usually the worst, most unreliable members of our fine national legislature who change parties.

    I know, Will-- when I used to skip English 316 to watch the old Rush Limbaugh television show (and nurse a hangover, also), they used to show clips of Traficant all the time blasting the Democrats for opposing the Contract with America.

    Unfortunately, I oppose GOP membership for anyone with hair as bad as JT's.

    What about bolo ties BK? Traficant was looking so saucey.

    I knew something was up b/c the subtitle(?) showed him to be a Democrat, but Hannity wasn't interrupting him every 2 seconds with intelligent rebuttals such as you guys are just scared.

    But, Shannon Tweed was on HBO, so you know how it is.
