Maybe this explains his sudden sphincter kissing of the left... he will need some Rat buddies to bury this.
Ding ding ding! We have a winner.
"a fine man, a good man" who served with "honor and distinction," who "is a strong supporter of the United States military."
"a good man, a Marine, a patriot." "a fine man"
"a veteran, a veteran congressman and a great leader in the Congress."
Just ask any Republican politician.
That would be freeper, Flip Wilson that called it the "Culture of Hypocrisy"...he deserves the credit...
Speaking of Pelosi, she's got her own huge contract kick-back scandal that just won't get picked up by the MSM...
And surprise, surprise, Murtha is deeply involved, too!
Google link search of "Pelosi+Lennar+Navy+corrupt"
Here's one of the more thorough articles from the above Google:Link Status report: Legal Violations Related to Proposed Redevelopment of the Hunters Point Shipyard
VERY interesting...and I hope that some of the GOP House members are making a file with her name on it for the ethics committee...
Thanks for the link!
They are eating their own.
Maybe-maybe not, but Murtha make comments about the army being "broken" and needing more equipment and repairs. I am willing to bet that his brother stands to gain when money is appropriated to "fix" the army and make the needed repais.
"I don't think that influences him," he said. "I certainly would hope not."
Yeah right. Murtha should be investigated just like they did to Delay.
Contrary to popular opinion, Rep. John Murtha, the ex-Marine who called for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq, is no hawk.
He may also soon be probed for misusing defense appropriations.
"If you want anything done on the committee, you go to Murtha."
He's delivered so much pork to his congressional district, an airport and a major highway are named after Murtha.
Ashdown and his nonpartisan watchdog group criticized Murtha for using the $417 billion fiscal 2005 Pentagon spending bill to give business to his lobbyist brother.
The Los Angeles Times in June reported that Murtha funneled nearly $21 million to 10 or more corporate clients of KSA Consulting, where Robert "Kit" Murtha is a senior partner.
Carmen Scialabba, a Murtha congressional aide for 27 years, is also a high-ranking official at KSA.
The newspaper Roll Call reported that there might be a House ethics committee investigation of Murtha's apparent improprieties.
But is that possible now that Murtha has become the media's "hawk with a conscience?"
Come to think of it, could Murtha have been thinking about a possible ethics investigation when he decided to throw himself into the public limelight last week?

"If John Murtha had a Medal of Honor or even a Silver Star I might consider him a hero, but the Bronze Star and Vietnamese medal were handed out like M & Ms."
"Most officers who went to Vietnam came home with them, if they served in any kind of combat unit. Like most of us, of that era, he did his duty."
"Nothing more and nothing less."
"As far as his military expertise, I am not impressed with anyone who spent 37 years in the Marine Corps and retired a Lt. Col."
