Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) told a group of Democratic moderates on Tuesday that an ethics and lobbying reform bill being pushed by party leaders was "total crap," but said that he would work to enact the legislation because Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) supports it.

Murtha and Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) are locked in a battle for the House Majority Leader post, and both men made presentations for to the Blue Dog Coalition on Tuesday in a bid for their votes.

"Even though I think it's total crap, I'll vote for it and pass it because that's what Nancy wants," Murtha told the Blue Dogs, according to three sources who were at the meeting...

Seeing as a degenerate demagogue like Murtha can't even spell the word "ethics", his schoolboy tirade should come as no surprise.

[old and cranky]

When you are caught in a lie...bite your lower lip, point at the camera and blame it on the republicans.

Be sure and get the dress of the intern you just bebopped, don't want any silly evidence sitting around.

[PghBaldy]

Funny thing is, they are a great couple. He the grizzled old Marine, she the trim, young ingenue. I picture Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart playing them.

"Even though I think it's total crap, I'll vote for it and pass it because that's what Nancy wants,"

That in and of itself demonstrates a boob with no ethics.

In general, the MSM reports the Republican bad and the Democrat good, but they also love to pound the majority party.

Now that the Democrats have the majority, their many flaws may not be overlooked so quickly.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

"Even though I think it's total crap, I'll vote for it and pass it because that's what Nancy wants," Murtha told the Blue Dogs, according to three sources who were at the meeting...

Sounds like these two clowns are pimping each other.

"Man Mountain Murtha" and "Skinny Minnie The Moocher Pelosi"!

Now there's a pair!

[truthkeeper]

Does anyone else feel like we're living in the Twilight Zone?

Uh-huh.

[spacejunkie]

I don't know...I see Steve Brolin and Morgan Fairchild. Just like on PeeWee's big adventure.

[old and cranky]

Blast conservatives for driving those awful SUV's, than get in your Tahoe and hurry to the airport, your private jet is waiting.

[True Republican Patriot]

I am mailing my contribution to Diane Irey for her 2008 campaign, this nut case is going down in flames!!

IREY in 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Political Junkie Too]

...I'll vote for it and pass it because that's what Nancy wants," Murtha told the Blue Dogs...

So instead of Congress being a rubber-stamp for George Bush as Democrats complained, now they'll become a rubber-stamp for Nancy Pelosi, and they're okay with that?

[old and cranky]

next rule:

lie and distort what you have accomplished and then when your opponent has the nerve to point out where you are wrong, tell everyone how unfortunate it is that your opponent has gone negative (you can ask our governor here in Kansas for some pointers on that one)

[GalaxieFiveHundred]

Food fight!!!

[old and cranky]

of course they aren't rubber stamping! Their whole philosophy is built on crap...he was complementing her...

[BlueMondaySkipper]

Even though I think it's total crap, I'll vote for it and pass it because that's what Nancy wants

I all fairness he could mean that Chuck Schumer wants it...

"....enact the legislation because Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) supports it."

Of course in the world of Socialism, laws and legislation are just guidelines, suggestions, and soundbites. Violation of them can't have any substantial consequences because that would be a demonstration of intolerance, insensitivity and finesse (unless a non-Dem does it).

In other words, Murtha has nothing to fear from this Ethics bill.

Like, totally. Who says Murtha doesn't know how to be a team player, huh?

[kerryusama04]

Leadership. Fortitude.

[kerryusama04]

Murtha just got elected House B!tch!

PC must be just for us. These guys are real potty mouths.
