Former Rep. Jim Traficant (D-Ohio) lit into the current leadership in Washington on Wednesday, warning the IRS that he wants to "kick them in the crotch," apologizing to "all the hookers in America" for once comparing members of Congress to prostitutes and telling President Barack Obama to "stimulate this."

How exactly would one kick a government entity in the crotch?

Stay classy Jim Traficant.

Did anybody see his interview with Greta Van Susteren when he was first released from prison?

He's definitely...coarse, but he's also kinda train-wreck-like interesting.

Really freakin' hard, with big steel-toed boots. That's how I'd do it, although if I had a choice I'd wait in the car park and cosh the IRS with a blackjack when it wasn't looking.

Make sure you put a note in their back window first, so they notice it when they're backing out, leave the car running and exit the vehicle. Then you can kick them in the crotch and take their car.

"Traficant was released earlier this month after serving a 7-year stint in federal prison on corruption charges... Asked if he would consider running for Congress again, Traficant responded: "I’m 25 years old, I’m eligible to run. There is no restriction on me running."

He was convicted of corruption as a representative at 18? That's impressive!

That caught me too, but it is a frequently enough used idiom to just name the minimum requirement when one exceeds it, so as to indicate one is eligible.
