Uncle Sam and Uncle John (Murtha)

Megadollar by megadollar, pressure keeps mounting for a House ethics investigation into the cycling of rich Pentagon contracts and campaign contributions through the appropriations empire ruled by Representative John Murtha. The latest disturbing tale is about Mr. Murtha’s nephew, Robert, whose defense subcontracting business lately has been winning millions of dollars a year in no-bid Pentagon contracts.

The nephew insists “good work,” not Uncle John, is the key to his success. But e-mails obtained by The Washington Post show the nephew touting family clout. One message advises a partner that a condition for “keeping funds flowing” mandates that part of the contract money, approved through Representative Murtha’s powerful defense appropriations subcommittee, be channeled to companies in Johnstown, Pa., his uncle’s home district. “This has been a requirement for what I do to get dollars through,” Robert Murtha declared.

Nothing will come of this until zero’s and the donks’ poll numbers collapse. Now, the American electorate - not to mention the GOP “leadership” - is dumb as a bag of hammers (and less useful). Witness zero’s election and the GOP’s support for McLame (RINO-AZ). However, as the economy continues to crash, even these idiots will turn from the donks’ socialism and the RINOs’ soft socialism. Then Ho Boy, get yer popcorn!

There is definitely a disturbance in the dark side of the Force......strange days.

It does sound as though the lefties are getting ready to throw Fat Jack under the bus. He’s going to make one heck of a speed bump.

[jazusamo]

Yes, the MSM has been on Murtha’s back for the last six or more weeks and been on it hard.

Uh Oh, you beat me to the punch! Great Minds!

The NYT is covering for Pelosi and the dems, so Murtha is the fall guy.

I'm lovin' it!

WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[MamaLucci]

Not just Murtha, but Pelosi, as well....the press ALMOST treated her like a Republican today.(!)

[jazusamo]

If once is good twice is better! :-)

It doesn’t get much better than what’s going on with both of them. LOL!

[jazusamo]

Exactly! She was beside herself in that press conference today and few of the MSM have tried covering for her.

[MamaLucci]

In case you missed this one from the Times....

List Says Top Democrats Were Briefed on Interrogations

[smoothsailing]

The mods pulled my thread at my request, so yours is the lead, since you beat me by 10 minutes. And I did a search before I posted! I just wasted too much time with graphics!

Anyhoo, this is great, the rest of the media will follow the NYT lead. The marching orders have gone out!

SAVE NANCY, DUMP MURTHA!!!!

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

Murtha is a Pelosi ally.

Looks like the Night of the Long Knives in the Democrat Party.

[jazusamo]

Thanks for linking that article, good piece and I did miss it. Seemed Panetta was in full spin mode for her.

[jazusamo]

It’d sure make our day if both would go out together, I know it won’t happen but I can dream once in a while. :)

Maybe old Fat Jack will get himself in shape when he goes away for a few years
and if SanFran Nan visits him every month or so she could take him some of her
Botox and he'd be a new man when he gets out.

[bmwcyle]

Until the voters take him out, he will continue to rob us blind.

For some reason, this made me thing of Sambo, the taxpayer- and the left as the tigers : )

So would it be Uncle Sambo forcloses on Uncle John’s cabin?
