Jim Traficant Heads To Jail, Toupee And All (2002)

  • Resumen

  • It's August 1st. This day in 2002, Congressman James Traficant of Ohio has been expelled from Congress for bribery and corruption, only the second member ever kicked out of the institution.

    Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss Traficant's bombastic reputation, corrupt dealings -- and how his shifting politics represented the way political fault lines were moving in places like Youngstown, Ohio.

    This Day In Esoteric Political History is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX.
