Election Non-Returns

Actual Mug Shot

James Traficant's in jail. Bob Barr, Cynthia McKinney and Gary Condit all were defeated.  What in God's name is happening to our long and glorious tradition of nutcases in Congress?  Oh, sure, we still have Charlie Rangel and Dana Rohrbacher…and Tom DeLay can always be counted on to say something really, really stupid and outrageous.  But I'm worried.  What if we lose a few more of those guys and C-SPAN starts to look a little less like the Sci-Fi Network?  This is not a good trend, people.  We have to do something about it…and soon.
