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:

Now, why does this come as no surprise?

I wonder if there is a district attorney up there that could be encouraged to look into this in much the same manner that Ronnie Earle has prosecuted Tom DeLay? This time it would be a legitimate investigation, wouldn't it?

Would Murtha do the honorable thing and step down? Something tells me that he wouldn't be able to define the word even with a Webster's dictionary at his disposal.
