Hmmmm. . .
Traficant must have been a REALLY bad boy . . .
to be a democrat who was expelled from the congress.

Traficant was a Democrat who represented Ohio's 17th Congressional District from 1985 to 2002.

With a penchant for colorful, sometimes crude language, Traficant made a name for himself in Washington long before being convicted on federal corruption charges, a courtroom defeat that led to his expulsion from Congress because of ethics violations tied to it.

clo
He was expelled after being convicted of taking bribes, filing false tax returns, racketeering, and forcing his aides to perform chores at his farm in Ohio and houseboat in Washington, D.C..[

...he probably never actually drove his own tractor before.
