How far we have come. At one time you said he could be president if he played his cards right. But he didn't and always had one up his sleeve. No one made hime commit his crimes. Too many feel that because they were against the government it was o'kay. After all, it's only the government, everyone does it... it is illegal for all, even Jim Traficant and he needed no ones help to do it... oh maybe he did, those who treated him like he could do no wrong and was the greatest thing since sliced bread. You fed is arrogance.
Just another example of how the media will do anything to fill air time. I find it appalling and yes, even comical that in order to get the real story one has to visit all stations and forms of media and maybe somewhere in the middle is the 'real" story.
I was no fan of Jim, I never voted for him. That being said I understand the love that people have for him. He brought a lot of money to the area and afterall that is what he was elected for. He successfully mediated labor problems, he saved the homes of many. To some he is like the generous uncle who, even though he did shady things, still was loved by his family for his generosity. He was a champion of the ordinary man.
