MSNBC: Murtha Is 'Personal Attack' Victim, As Murtha Insults Rove's 'Fat Backside'

On MSNBC's Countdown show on Friday, substitute host Brian Unger featured a softball interview with Democratic Congressman John Murtha during which Unger queued up Murtha to attack the Bush administration's Iraq policy and Republican critics. The Countdown host bolstered Murtha's credibility by referring to his war record and labelling him a "traditional hawk" while he discredited White House advisor Karl Rove by negatively labelling him as a "partisan attacker trying to squash discussion about Iraq," and proclaimed "the Swift-Boating of the 2006 election has begun."

...

Murtha: "Well, it's just, it's a slogan. That's all. Here's a guy [Rove] sitting on his fat backside in an air-conditioned office talking about the troops. He doesn't have a clue what's going on in Iraq."

Glad to see the spineless dove is sticking with substance.

"the Swift-Boating of the 2006 election has begun."

You ain't seen nothin' yet, Mssrs. Unger and Murtha.

Support John Murtha's worthy opponent - Diana Irey

[El Gran Salseron]

ping.....Murtha EX-Marine.

[Fudd Fan]

"Meltdown" with Keith Overbite. No wonder no one saw this!

[Yes I know Overbite was on vacation... lol]

[A message]

I may not be able to send Diana Irey any money until August. But I WILL BE donating to her campaign to unseat this filth named Murtha.

And all the while, prayers for her success.

"the Swift-Boating of the 2006 election has begun."

I love that term!!! To me it means "exposing frauds." The MSM may be trying to change the meaning, but it ain't gonna stick.

[HarleyLady27]

murtha is a piece of tainted *hit.....

Rove, on the other hand, has class, brains and something murtha dreams about....how to get something done without spearing everything and everyone around him....

(holding a can of fly spray) go away murtha...go back to your web.....

[E.G.C.]

BTTT

[new yorker 77]

Brian Unger is the skinny lib douche we all love to beat up.

[new yorker 77]

OINK! OINK! goes the Murtha.

[RasterMaster]

Moonbat Murtha would know a thing or two about resting on his fat a$$....he's done nothing noteworthy in his entire career, other than being Bela Pelosi's b!tch.

[doesnt suffer fools gladly]

Murtha is two Roves, in weight terms.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

MSNBC and Murtha can go piss up a rope.

[Rosemont]

John "I will blame American troops for atrocities before the evidence is in" Murtha.

[jazusamo]

He doesn't have a clue what's going on in Iraq.

He did an excellent job of summing up his own knowledge of our Marines in Iraq, the WOT and the new Iraqi government and our relations with them.

He also seems to have found a home with MSNBC, we won't be seeing him interviewed by anyone on FNC.

[DCPatriot]

Obviously, Murtha hasn't seen his a$$ in a mirror lately.

[CyberAnt]

Hmmmm ..?? Would that insult be in lieu of Murth's FAT FRONTSIDE ..?? Good grief .. these idiots are behaving like spoiled children hurling insults everywhere.

[Bommer]

[GBA]

I doubt Murtha has seen anything below his belly without a mirror for a very long time.

[Blue State Insurgent]

Murtha was an intelligence officer in Viet Nam. Do you think that involved torture in order to gain information from the enemy?

How many 'Gooks' did Murtha torture in Nam?
