Here's "Mr. Thin" himself.
Obviously he's losing his cool. He can't handle being stood up to and being called out for his lies.

Commenting on Karl Rove's remarks in a speech in New Hampshire where he charged that Democrats are "wrong, profoundly wrong" in wanting to cut and run in Iraq, an increasingly rabid anti-war Congressman John Murtha resorted to a personal attack on Rove on Sunday.
"He's in New Hampshire, he's making a political speech. He's sitting in his air-conditioned office on his big fat backside saying, 'Stay the course,'" said Murtha, D-Pa., in an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Obviously rattled by criticism from Rove, Murtha said: "I disagree completely with what he's saying. We need to change direction. We can't win a war like this. This guy's sitting back ... getting paid by the public taxpayer and he's saying to us that we're winning this war ... we've got to change direction. You can't sit there in the air-conditioned office and tell the troops fighting in Iraq that we have to stay the course.
Despite recent gains in Iraq, Murtha insisted the U.S. is losing the war in Iraq. When told by "Meet the Press" host Tim Russert that Rove had told the New Hampshire audience that "if Murtha had his way, American troops would have been gone by the end of April" and American forces wouldn't have killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Murtha downplayed the importance of killing the top terrorist in Iraq, saying dismissively: "They built Zarqawi up, they have a thousand foreign fighters" -- that the intelligence "came from the outside" and that all the U.S. did was bomb his hideout and kill him.
Turning to his own plan for cutting and running, Murtha became increasing irrational, suggesting that U.S. troops there be redeployed outside of Iraq yet close enough to be ready to go back in if the situation required it. When pressed by Russert to say where the troops could be deployed if neighboring countries refuse to accept their presence, as Rove had has said, he suggested they could be set to Okinawa, Japan, which is 5,000 miles from Baghdad.
"We don't have to be right there, Murtha said. "We can go to Okinawa. We could redeploy there instantly."
OK, so maybe, in Murtha's expert opinion, Rove's backside is fat. It's probably a better place on one's body to have the fat on one's backside than within their head like Murtha the traitor.
"Murtha" - isn't that half a word?
It isn't a hate crime to demean fat people. But this creep is a hate crime in the making just the same. He is an absolute jerk.
Murtha is in strong competition with McCain for "crazy aunt in the attic" raving status, although over different issues.
Alls the Dems would've done is brought Chap Stick so they could kiss his Arse and ask him ever so pleadingly to stop cutting the heads off his captives.
What's the matter Burtha, the truth hitting to close to home? phocking POS.
Here's "Mr. Thin" himself.
Obviously he's losing his cool. He can't handle being stood up to and being called out for his lies.
Did he call him a Poo-Poo Head too?? What a Maroon!
Pray for W and Our Troops
John Murtha looks like someone who hits the bottle. Anyone have info on that? I visited the US Capitol once in my life. Circa 1983. Who comes down the steps but Senator Daniel Moynihan. I said hello "Senator Moynihan" He gave no reply but he did look three sheets to the wind.
I saw a little but of Murtha today on MTP. If I understood him correctly he said we didn't need troops on the ground in Iraq because we got Abu-Zarqawi from the air. Well didn't some of the ground intelligence help us there. I'm not really that smart and I was able to figure that much out.
He's lost it. Those remarks are beyond moonbat.
Congressman Murtha unmasked... not pretty............not surprising!
What is a 'War Hero''
I've been listening to Congressmen Jack Murtha's negative comments about the war in Iraq for some months now. I've heard him repeatedly described as a "war hero". Thirty-seven years in the Marine Corps. Wow! I visualize a burly
ex-Marine, his chest bedazzled with medals, the survivor of countless combats in Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf War. A man who knows war and combat from the inside out. A man with the experience that allows him to see that
the war in Iraq is hopeless, and we should all quit and go home. Although I've been turned off by Murtha's remarks, I never questioned his war hero status. Nor has our liberal press which is why Murtha has been getting away with his charade' Then the other day, bingo! I suddenly knew something was rotten in Denmark about Jack Murtha's war hero status. I've been bothered by his comments in
the past but his latest remarks about Marines killing civilians in cold blood caught my attention. Whether this turns out to be true or not, something just didn't compute. No real Marine who's "been there" would
prejudge combat troops prior to the release of a military inquiry' That was the moment when I woke up and said, "Hey, I'm going to check this guy out." And what did I find' Did I find a man of vast operational experience with an extensive combat record' No. I found a man whom fellow congressman Don Bailey of Pennsylvania, Silver Star and three Bronze Stars, calls 'a liar and a phony'. A man who came to Bailey crying and sobbing, thanking him for saving Murtha from the ethics committee (on ABSCAM-related
charges) at which time he admitted to Bailey that his Purple Hearts weren't earned. I found a man with a couple of years of active duty, and the rest of his 37-year career spent in the Marine Corps Reserve. I found a man who
served in the Marines during Korean War, yes, but somehow never actually made it to Korea. I found a man with one year in Vietnam, not 'up front' but in the rear area,
as a staff intelligence offer. I found a man who's no more been in combat, or is a war hero, than I am. Even John Kerry has more combat experience than Jack Murtha.
I know flight attendants who have spent more time in Da nang than him. So what is a War Hero' Well at the bare minimum, a war hero would have to be somebody who's actually been in combat, somebody who's been in direct
contact with the enemy over some extended period of time, somebody who's been shot at and/or had their life repeatedly threatened like the Infantry
or the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force pilots who flew over Vietnam; somebody who has performed his or her duties in a heroic manner. So, what is Jack Murtha' Just one more scheming politician, a Democrat, sensing a change
in the direction of the political winds. A man who volunteered for a year's duty in Vietnam as a staff intelligence officer, so he could come home and
run for Congress in 1968 as a war hero. Barf. Sound familiar' A man who's thinking about the next election, and hoping he's on the right side when it
comes.
IMHO, Moynihan was a class act compared to every 'Rat in office today. He was true to his principles and placed America above his party.
Murtha may want to consider the following fact:
Currently, 64.5 percent of U.S. adults, age 20 years and older, are overweight and 30.5 percent are obese.

Does this guy have any clue how angry and foolish he comes across.
