I love how Murtha uses the excuse "the way I have done it all the time", ....

I betcha he has said at least once or twice that President Bush needs to not do things the same in Iraq...."time for a change" and all that rhetoric.

So....President Bush is the ONLY one required to do things different in your book, congressman???

Murtha's response to Diana Irey reminds of that great song in Monty Python and the Holy Grail about Sir Robin...
Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!
He is packing it in and packing it up
And sneaking away and buggering up
And chickening out and pissing off home,
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge...

In a word.....YES! On January 20, 2001 all the rule books were thrown out, all traditions were put to rest, decorum went by the wayside, laws were thrown out the window, the Executive branch Constitutional authority ceased to exist.

The day President Bush took his oath of office, unbeknownst to him, or we the people, all things became passe and all rules, traditions, decorum, laws and authority became new, created solely for THIS President.
