You'll be surprised by who made the dissenting vote.

If this posted already, sue me because I did a search. :p

Nope, but it was made by someone whose name we should all be painfully familiar with. :)

What did he do that others have not???

Taking bribes? Isn't what lobbyists are all about?

Politicians are dumb.

I'm not sure about Traficant's "conspiracy theory," but I believe he has been railroaded. I hope they re-elect him while he is in prison...

I'd vote for him just for the sheer entertainment value. $20 says C-SPAN hasnt had these kind of ratings since lewinsky.

Umm I would say making your government paid staffers pay you to keep their jobs is pretty fvcking low.

The only vote against kicking him out of the House came from outgoing Rep. Gary Condit, D-California, who himself was caught up in a public quagmire after last year's disappearance of former Washington intern Chandra Levy.

What a total jackass. :(
