Congressman Dick Murtha (D-PA), from the "redneck" and "racist" part of Pennsylvania, is under fire for earmarks to his constituents. The same ones he insulted.

From another article:

“The Constitution specifically gives Congress the power to appropriate federal funds,” Mazonkey said. “Earmarks don’t increase the federal budget; they direct funds within the budget for certain community projects or programs."

Huh?

His first name is John but the appellation is IMHO quite appropriate.

Murtha, with those beady, close set eyes of his reminds me of a big, stupid cartoon bear...the emphasis is on “stupid”.
