Rep. John Murtha dead at 77
« on: February 08, 2010, 01:58:19 PM »
Considered by some one of the most corrupt in congress John Murtha is dead at 77 of complications of gall bladder surgery.  Best known for calling American soldiers in Iraq "murdrers" he was a part of but not charged in the Abscam scandal.  He told undercover agents he was not interested in the $50,000 bribe at that time but they might do business when they knew each other better.  Ironically he had an A rating from the NRA on gun issues.
I used to be open minded but my brain kept falling out.

It's really bad form to speak ill of the dead.  So I won't say anything about Murtha's death.  But I really want to.  Really, really, really!

Well, I for one thank him for his service in the Marines through two wars. At that point he was making the world a better place.



Anti: I think some of you gentleman would choose to apply a gun shaped remedy to any problem or potential problem that presented itself? Your reverance (sic) for firearms is maintained with an almost religious zeal. The mind boggles! it really does...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

+1 cr, That's certainly one way to get him out of office.

He has been bashed here extensively here at DRTV, I personally thought he was part of the problem in D.C. His airport might be up to 4 flights a day now?

I didn't think he would die, I was hoping he'd stay alive long enough to get voted out.

Either way,...
