He’s a disgraceful porker. One of the news channels out of Pittsburgh (iirc) did a story/investigation about the drug intel center in Johnstown which was set up and is funded by Murtha. This “center” allegedly does little good above what other agencies do and the news station tried to learn about its reasons for existence. Murtha was his old nasty self trying to talk his way out of it.
That said, apparently some Republican tried to have Murtha’s “center” removed from the House budget and Murtha freaked out, stating that if this congressman had any plans for earmarks in the Defense Appropriations Bill — ever — they would be a wash.
What a nice guy, huh?
