Letter: GOP will miss Rep. Traficant

Monday, Aug. 5, 2002 | 9:01 a.m.

I am greatly amused at the delight taken by the Republicans in the expulsion of James Traficant, the Republican in Democrats' clothing.

Traficant consistently voted with the GOP and lost all of his seats on congressional committees after he voted for Dennis Hastert for Speaker of the House. The Republicans will miss his votes a heck of a lot more than the Democrats.

I say good riddance, Mr. Traficant.
