John Murtha: Caving In to Arabs Since 1980 (Ann Coulter)

Human Events ^ | February 21, 2007 | Ann Coulter

[Garvin]

"In 1980, Murtha was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Abscam bribery scandal. Murtha was not indicted in the bribes-for-political-favors probe and ultimately cleared of wrongdoing by the House ethics committee. But his raunchy language and open-ended option to consider a future deal with undercover FBI agents is forever captured on videotape."


"He retired from the Reserves as a colonel in 1990"

Why wasn't he charged under the UCMJ?

Great column.

Interesting how all these low-lifes get themselves elected to Congress. Any decent people there?

See F. A. Hayek's book, THE ROAD TO SERFDOM:

most likely the foreign enemy is once again financing under the table the most vocal of the domestic enemies like murtha

Thanks for posting the whole article. Here's my favorite line:

"But Murtha was willing to trade favors in return for investment in his district – and suggested he might take cash down the line. In other words, Murtha wasn't calling for an immediate surrender of his scruples and principles, but rather a phased withdrawal of them. "

I see another poster has posted a picture of Eowyn, the Nazgul slayer. Here's that picture, in Ann's honor:

"The fact that his district re-elected him after Abscam demonstrates that there is nothing he could do, no matter how obscenely immoral, illegal, or stupid, that would result in his electoral defeat."

Yes, there is ONE thing he could do to make him unelectable even at this late date - he could change parties!

Well...you can't be too rich....

[penowa]

"Republicans need to get an experienced, savvy, clean politician to run against him who's willing to shovel some dirt. Murtha can be beaten."

Before the Republicans find that mythical candidate that you speak of, it might be beneficial to get rid of Murtha's buddy who is the head of the PA Republican party who makes sure he doesn't get any competition from anybody inside the party and limits his competition to some maverick like Irey who is pretty much self-financing and limited to contributions from the grassroots.

Ann knows that! She calls him an "ex-Marine" on purpose, just as I do.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Agreed!

[Rosemont]

Gotta love the defeatocrats that voted for the war and then sell out the troops at every opportunity to please their communist base.

[freema]

Voter fraud? Did somebody mention voter fraud?

[lawdude]

I bet I could lick her. I am not sure where I would start, prolly the right foot, big toe, and work counterclockwise.

[hosepipe]

In 2008 the democrats all of them will be riding the legs of the Saudis and other malafactors pumping with all their might.. tongues hanging out and eyes rolling like the Dawgs they are..

Kelly, in this case, I think Ms. Coulter is spot on. He is a disgrace to the uniformed service and by his actions, has earned the title "Ex-Marine".

Of course, I am a retired Doggie, so my opinion is probably not even solicited.

About the only thing good I can say about the traitorous bastard is that at least he wasn't a soldier!
