She gave a great response. Murtha is 100% unacceptable at this point. Enough is enough. Please Diana Irey...Please WIN!

This worth repeating, IMHO.

"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 LA Times pulled the original article from their website when Murtha became the darling of the anti-American left.

But it still exists in cyberspace in it's entirety here:

Hey, Coop, since Murtha accused of the Marines of war crimes in print and in speeches, isn't there some way some of the Marines in those groups could sue Murtha for both libel and slander in the civilian courts?

I don't think Murtha is immune from such lawsuits even as a member of Congress. Just a thought.
