for anyone with a sense of humor, i suggest doing a little google research on jim traficant, the expelled rep from ohio (2002). i had never heard about this and started reading up on him today...he's worth at least ten full minutes of hysterical laughter, what a guy.
just a tidbit of the glory that is jim traficant, now easily one of my favorite people:
PENTAGON WAVED OLD GLORY WRONG WAY--August 1, 2001
Mr. Speaker, news reports say the Pentagon is stuck with 600,000 black berets made in China, and the Pentagon is storing these Communist hats in a warehouse in Pennsylvania.
If that is not enough to bust your balloons, the Pentagon is trying to sell these Communist hats to foreign countries; and guess what the Pentagon is hearing from these foreign countries. Why would we buy them? Why would we want our troops to wear hats made in China?
Beam me up. The Pentagon just did not wave the Buy American Act, the Pentagon waved Old Glory the wrong way.
Mr. Speaker, I suggest that these Chinese berets be made into suppositories and be used on Pentagon brass.
