"Murtha's military medical records?"

Good idea. But I read recently (where?) that he won't release them. May have been Ann Coulter who wrote that.

I need to look up Murtha's voting record. The guy needs "exposure".

And anyway, what the heck does having been a War Heroe, 30 years ago, have to do with his dangerous idiocy, now?

Very few people in the general population are fit for public office. The same for war heroes. I know of at least two war heroes who are not fit: McCain and Murtha.

Did anyone hear a whisper about Sam Johnson of Texas from the MSM after the House vote? He was 10 times the hero that Murtha was; yet his brilliant closing speech in opposition to cutting-and-running seems to have been completely suppressed by the MSM.
