I am starting a Draft Jim Traficant movement
Yes, I know he is insane, and in prison, but that haircut couldn't have cost more than 8 bucks. That toupee shows fiscal responsibility. He's our man!

1. Lol good hit to those freaking out about Edwards haircut cost, just the
way it is in the world he lives in, people just need to get a grip, does one trully believe a person making six dollars an hour and would demand to continue making that much be your president abet with wearing tee shirts and jeans?

9. I dunno. Did he co-sponsor IWR? Voted Bankruptcy bill? Wants o attack Iran?
Edited on Thu Apr-19-07 10:21 AM by The Count
Ducked the vote on abortion ban? Wrote the Patriot Act?
He'd have to have done all these to compete with Edwards.

15. Letterman once described Traficant's rug as so bad it looked like an end-table on his head.
Edited on Thu Apr-19-07 12:16 PM by CLW
Since that time I can't look at a bad toupe (and there are alot of them) without thinking of that priceless description and smiling! :hippie:

16. I was thinking someone completely bald....
Then it wouldn't be an issue.

My first thought was Paul Schaffer, but he's Canadian.

centering on a hideous and oh so outrageous toup. Looks like fashioned from 2yr old cans of instant whip cream that had been smoldering under the bed. I'm guessing for an extra guffaw that there is a mullet in back.

Minimum security. There is a great big medium security facility there also, but Traficant is in the much older minimum one.
