Murtha has turned into a US version of UK's Galloway.
He, he, he.
Murtha ain't that worried. Half the voters in his district depend upon the pork Murtha brings in.
YES!
Could impile him????? I think he's finished....pack your bags old man, your going home....come on Irey....show em how its done!!!
The headline had a typo ---- it is spelled Impale, not Imperil.
[Irey, who looks quite young, is a bit green, but her handlers see her as great raw material.]
Bob Novak writes a good piece and I'll agree with everything he says except that Diana Irey is a bit green, she's been a Washington County Commissioner for ten years.

How about this: All Freepers send a walnut to this nut's office?
From Irey's website:
Because we dont know, Jack

On the Monday, June 26 edition of CNNs Situation Room, hosted by Wolf Blitzer, New York Times editor in chief Bill Keller discussed the newspapers decision to publish last week details of a secret U.S. Government program to track terrorist financing.
Heres a part of the exchange:
KELLER: To the best of my knowledge, three people outside of the administration were asked by the administration to call us. I spoke to one of them. One of them spoke to our Washington bureau chief. One of them spoke to Jill Abramson, our managing editor. All of them spoke, they thought, in confidence, and I don't think I will breach the confidence of what they said, although I will say that not all of them urged us not to publish.
BLITZER: Because in the letter from the treasury secretary, he specifically refers to former Democratic Congressman Lee Hamilton, who, together with the chairman of the 9/11 Commission, Governor Tom Kean of New Jersey, appealed to you not to print this information. I assume you can confirm Lee Hamilton, since the treasury secretary has disclosed his name.
KELLER: I am happy to tell you who we spoke to. I think I'll leave it to them to tell you what they actually said, but I will say that...
BLITZER: Who were the three people outside of the administration that asked you not to report this information?
KELLER: Tom Kean, Lee Hamilton and Congressman Jack Murtha.[1] <#_ftn1>
Some analysts have noted that because Treasury Secretary John Snow has publicly named former 9/11 Commission co-chairmen Tom Kean, Sr., and Lee Hamilton as people he knew to have talked to officials of the New York Times, and because Mr. Keller has indicated that New York Times officials received calls from three people outside the Administration to wit, Tom Kean, Sr., Lee Hamilton, and U.S. Rep. Jack Murtha but then goes on to say that not all of them urged us not to publish, the question is raised as to whether or not Jack Murtha actually urged the New York Times not to publish.
Todays question for Jack Murtha:
Did you or did you not urge senior officials of the New York Times not to publish the offensive article?
I would say that is not too far off.
Green still plays better than senile un-American.
Hmmm.... I think the symbolism might be a little too deep for 'Mad' Murtha.
Maybe a buck or two to Irey's campaign instead? Now THAT's some meaningful dialogue!
I don't believe Tom Daschle was too worried either but you don't see him in the Senate any longer.
You have never been to Johnstown. 100% government contracts. It is all the town has.
You've got that 100% exactly right.
