The boy seems to be taking it on the chin with the local big paper.

$ 2 million is nothing compared to the damage to the country his mouth has done. That is where the real shame is

[LegendHasIt]

Murtha has brought shame to EVERYTHING with which he has ever been associated.....

Why should PA. be exempt.... They keep electing him.

Translation: two million taxpayers' dollars were spent and there is nothing to show for it.

Mmm.. I wouldn't say that! From personal experience I betcha there were many sumptuous luncheons and receptions. Chocolate fountains, paid by Me, Al Taxpayer, are very popular at Community Colleges right now. Then of course a few good women and some fewer good men got the kind of office computers printers and projectors most of us who paid for them could only aspire to in our dreams. Then a little bit of travel (Travelocity, Orbitz get work out on them computers.). Then you hire a few foreign students who can't get a work permit outside the school (read someone's significant other.) Hey, it adds up. But it doesn't go to waste. Not really.

According to an article in today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette [LINK], a two-million-dollar earmarked grant was initiated in 2003 through the Defense Department for a program to train people how to "safeguard America's businesses from threats to their computer systems and databases". The program fizzled...

Doesn't he cry about defense needs (money, people, resources) on occasion?

U.S. Rep. John Murtha, D-Johnstown, a longtime supporter of SEI whose office was instrumental in securing the award.

"Every once in a while, for whatever reason, a program does not get the result that the program's sponsor had hoped for," she [Cindy Abrams] said.

I don't understand, it looks like SEI has plenty of folks who should have been able to get this up and running.

Since when is the city of Pittsburgh in the 12th district? ;)

"The boy seems to be taking it on the chin with the local big paper."

Mighty peculiar since the Post-Gazette is the "liberal" rag. Hmmmm?

Shoot, for half that amount I could have told them to buy some Norton software for $39.95.

I like pigs, especially in the summertime, baby back ribs being my favorite, with Mrs Smooths BBQ sauce and grillin'.;-)

'Course the problem with Murtha is that he's an old dirty pig, not worth wasting time cookin', just votin' out!!!

[bmwcyle]

I don't read papers any more but if the libs are kicking his butt, I'm happy.
