Traficant rips 'enemies' at welcome-home party
 Seven years in prison don't appear to have changed former U.S. Rep. James Traficant's style whatsoever, and the 1,200 supporters who gathered at a Boardman banquet hall Sunday afternoon loved him for it. "I was a quarterback. I was a congressman. Now I'm a convict," Traficant said, his signature toupee firmly back atop his head. "I wouldn't change one single thing. And to the powerful enemies that I have, I'll just say this to you: They had to cheat to convict me." The crowd roared. After 15 minutes of remarks, hundreds swarmed the makeshift stage to shake his hand or ask for an autograph. Posted by: Fred 2009-09-08 |
