As comical and juvenile as the House of Representatives is from time to time, it just hasn't been the same since Rep. James Traficant (D-OH) left. Traficant was convicted on charges of bribery and racketeering, and is currently serving an eight-year prison sentence in Pennsylvania.

The Ohio congressman now has dreams of running for president, and has signed off on the formation of an exploratory committee. "The battle to free James Traficant and to evict the Socialists and 'free traders' from the Democratic Party is now under way," campaign spokesman Marcus Belk said.
