James Traficant: “news reports say that John Wayne Bobbitt, bearing roses and chocolates, went acourting the same woman who tried to steal…”

On the recordOctober 12, 1995
news reports say that John Wayne Bobbitt, bearing roses and chocolates, went acourting the same woman who tried to steal his family jewels once before. That is right. The same news sources say that ex-wife Lorena says, I quote, ``As far as I am concerned, this matter is cut and dried.'' Mr. Speaker, the reports say John Bobbitt is not discouraged. He said he will try again. Now, think about this. If the Bobbitts, John Bobbitt specifically, can set his pride aside on the side of the road and try and resolve differences, Democrats and Republicans can work out what differences exist with Medicare. Think about it. In fact, if this couple can resolve their differences, all of America can work out our problems.
