Jim Traficant
''The "Beam me up!" WAV used to be on his House website. You can find it on archive.org. 1ne 07:14, 29 January 2007 (UTC)''


 * Personally, I don't doubt that there is a WAV file of Traficant making this statement. But that's not the issue. Quoted text must have a verifiable provenance, not some undocumented sound clip that must be interpreted as coming from Traficant. (Who should we trust to confirm this is Traficant? As an experienced Wikipedian, you should already know that personal testimony is irrelevant, and neither amateur websites nor archives of material are compelling sources.)


 * Because I remember seeing Traficant's "catchphrase" in print way back when, I am sure reliable sources are available for this quote. We just have to put in a little elbow grease to find and cite them. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:43, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
