Imagine the utter embarrassment and humiliation of Jack Murtha. On November 15, speaking about his bid to become House Majority Leader, he boasted to Chris Matthews on Hardball that "We’re going to win. We got the votes." The very next day that blowhard LOST by a large margin to his rival, Steny Hoyer, in that race. All Murtha got was a spot standing behind Nancy Pelosi and Hoyer as the latter's win was announced. The sour look on Blowhard Murtha's face was priceless since his expression did not hide the fact that he was ENRAGED over his loss. So after making a complete fool of himself in public what does he do? Well, other than hitting the bottle real hard the other option is to Blog like a blowhard on the HUffington Post which Murtha did HERE with a Blog titled, "Let's Get to Work." A more accurate title would be, "Let's Forget I Made An Utter Fool of Myself." So let us now watch Jack Murtha Blog blather along with comments from his fellow HUffies in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, thinking that Murtha's accuracy about Iraq is equally suspect, is in the [brackets]:
Let's Get to Work
[And you can start working on that bottle of Jack Daniels, Jack.]
While the most important thing in Washington, DC over the past few days has been an internal Party struggle, the American people never lost sight, even for a brief moment, of the most important conflict: Iraq. That's clear from the support of bloggers from across the country, phone calls and emails of support to my office and editorials in local papers endorsing our plan for change.
[An internal power struggle that you loudly bragged you would win...the day before you lost.]
I ran for Majority Leader to put the issue of Iraq front and center and to push as hard as I could to change our war strategy. Like you, many of my colleagues understood that this race was about delivering on our promise we made to the American people a little over a week ago.
[How about if we deliver to you a Jim Beam to go with the Jack Daniels?]
I am especially grateful for the support of our next House Speaker, and the first woman to hold the position, Nancy Pelosi. I just can't say enough nice things about her. And I congratulate Steny Hoyer and will work closely with him. While we didn't win, nothing has changed my commitment one bit.
[Thank you, Nancy Pelosi, for making a fool of yourself on my behalf.]
Don't get me wrong, other things matter too, such as ethics reforms and the Democrats' agenda, and I'm going to keep my promise to work hard with Speaker Pelosi and the Leadership to pass those as well.
[You mean like working on a Democrat ethics bill that you referred to as "total crap?"]
But Iraq is the key. Democrats won the election because we spoke up, and the real test of our leadership lies ahead. Thank you for your support, and now let's get to work.
[And now Jack Murtha will redeploy his beet red carcass to an Okinawan tavern as his fellow HUffies chime in...]
You da man, Representative Murtha.
[You da blowhard, Representative Murtha.]
Ethics counted - for most of your colleagues, anyway, if not for you and the speaker. When your party is elected to power on a platform of "no more business as usual", you better be sure that your party's leadership positions are filled by men and women of unimpeachable character and a spotless record on ethics. You failed on both counts, and you deserved to lose.
[But...but I thought all the charges of corruption were nothing but evil Republican swiftboating of our darling angel, Murtha.]
Dems win and you spend the first 4 days trying to stub the guy who helped you succeed in the back... Great work...
[The opening shots of the Democrat Civil War.]
Sorry you were lied to Mr Murtha. We saw it coming. I wished you had stepped aside yesterday and just gave it to Hoyer rather than being lied to and embarrassing yourself and Ms. Pelosi.
[I'm not sorry. It's FUn to watch the Democrats humiliate themselves.]
Looks like AIPAC won again with Hoyer (over Murtha)
[The Protocols of the Elders of Neocon.]
When are you going to apologize to the troops (and America for that matter) for stripping them of their right to innocence until proven guilty?
[Jack Daniels Murtha is too full of himself to ever apologize for anything.]
Looks like AIPAC won again with Hoyer (over Murtha)
[You've already said that twice before my obsessed little HUffie. I sure hope that you don't find out that Murtha once got falling down drunk on a case of Manischewitz sweet Concord.]
You are a American patriot.Your party did not do you justice today or the past few days with cons swift boat routine.We all know politics is a blood sport but you would think the good guys could win at least one.
[Oh, I see. The DEMOCRATS vote down Murtha and it is all the fault of the "cons."]
USA is an EVIL EMPIRE !!!
[Because a corrupt drunken blowhard wasn't voted in as Majority Leader of the House.]
Congressman Murtha thank you for standing up against the Neocons within the Democratic Party, or as I like to say the Ehud Olmert wing of the Democratic Congress, the Bebe Netanyahu wing being on the GOP side. I will make a prediction tonight about the future of your party. If they keep making moves like they did on you today, and Ms. Pelosi, they are going to lose in '08.
[So what's the downside here?]
In all my hours and days and months and years, I never once heard the name Steny Hoyer. Too me, he looks like the kind of guy who would sell his own mother out, and I put him in a class of distrust right there with Lieberman. To me, Hoyer being put over you is a bad sign.
[Which means it must be a good sign.]
Nancy Pelosi, a poltically astute hardball player, knows Murtha does not have the votes and that the House is more moderate and conservative than liberal. She encourages him to run and offers her support. He loses as she knows he will. She sets him up for the fall. She comes out looking good and solely in the forefront of the House leadership with, instead of an anti-war hero overshadowing her leadership, a political hack like Hoyer who she can better control. I don't know if this is the case but Nancy is a brilliant politician.
[WOW! You portray Nancy Pelosi as coming out looking good by describing her as completely devious.]
Jack, you focus on re-deploying the troops out of harms way and I will focus on re-deploying Dick Cheney into a secure federal facility...with bars.
[Much easier to re-deploy Jack straight to the bars.]
Israeli Snipers Killing U.S. Troops in Iraq? At the very beginning of this video clip, you see a rifle with a video camera attached to it. This weapon is made by the Rafael company, an Israeli arms manufacturer, that also makes IEDs. If you watch the video all the way through, it explains how this rifle works. CNN stated that the camera used to film these shootings was not a mounted rifle camera. But as you watch the video, you see that with each shot fired, the camera recoils. That would only happen if it were mounted on the rifle. Why is this significant? Because this kind of rifle-camera is extremely sophisticated and not available to your average Iraqi insurgent. I mean, it's not exactly an easily obtainable Saturday night special! Something this sophisticated points to Mossad.
[This just in: Osama Bin Laden is a Mossad agent. Also Saddam Hussein.]
Murtha deserves something big and he's going to get it I'm sure in due course. Let's just enjoy that we have a women in a position of such power, she won hands-down, and okay kill me for this, but she dresses like a million. Wow! She knows how to get attention through elegance.
[Quite an elegant frozen smile face stretch she has there.]
I was alittle stunned at how badly Hoyer wanted the limelight today and to get in the last word. Murtha was hurt and upset and Pelasi did support the guy who got her where she was.
[Murtha's face didn't hide how hurt and upset he was when he had to stand behind Pelosi and Murtha while facing public humiliation.]
I realize you were swiftboated by the AIPAC Israel Lobby, and that Steny Hoyer was their man. It is hardball in Washington, with bribery and when that dosen't work, threats from the Israel group of thugs, and blackmail either way.
[Do we see a certain obsessive theme here developing among the HUffies?]
If you would please vote to stop giving all money to Israel, since it is a violent apartheid state, this American born Hoosier would be even more pleased by your work in the House of Representatives.
[Obsession, they name is HUffie.]
Stand Up Next to a Neocon.
If your looking to buy off a politician with a bribe, Murtha is your man.
When I hear the name "Steny Hoyer," I think of Rennie Stennett, a second baseman for the Pirates in the 1970s.
"I am just amazed at the anti-semitism and the paranoia about Jews that these people demonstrate"
I am even more amazed that most Jews vote Democrat.
People like this need disenfranchising. Now.
Me too, skylark. Don't get it at all.
The maintenance people need to find the mound(s) and deal with the fireants there. Bet you the maintenance people actually know where the mounds are - they likely have found them as they worked outdoors.
At best, pesticides in the house will only kills those who make it indoors - the problem needs to be corrected at the source.
This really, really bugs me. We need to find a way to force him to step down from this committee. Its like setting a hawk to guard the chickens.
My son's MOS is combat medic - my best friend's son is a Marine sniper. I don't sleep well thinking that the budget for the military is in Murtha's hands in any form or fashion.
Ya think?
Murtha's Vineyard.
Abscam. 1980.
Say, PJ, those aren't a couple of gay time travelers there walking next to Murtha, are they?
Drain your OWN swamp, Democrats!
Ask Pitt. He has a lot of experience with fire ants.
Do beavers eat ants?
There it is, the hatred of their own country clearly announced. They do not even attempt to veil it in obtuse terms anymore.
What's more amazing is that American Jews vote for these people.
