PENSACOLA, Fla. A federal judge sentenced two former Air Force colonels to prison on Tuesday for destroying documents, lying to a grand jury and other crimes related to a wider fraud scheme by contractors and defense lobbyists with ties to powerful Rep. John Murtha, D-Johnstown.
The men, both engineers and graduates of the U.S. Air Force Academy, are among those accused by federal prosecutors who are looking into alleged wrongdoing by contractors with ties to Murtha, chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense....

OMG. This is so good that before I could read it, I got up and got a banana. And then, still before I could read it, I got up and got another one. Wolfed 'em both down. It looks like this monkey business is going down!
Go ahead, ask how excited I am. No. Wait. I'll just tell you. I'm so excited.... Chrissy Matthews probably has a tingle going up his leg and doesn't even know why.
And here's the cherry on top~
Collier disagreed.
The evil of the earmark process is that I dont even know how they come up with the money and the contractor that has the relationship with the congressman then gets the money, he said.

Ya know, with all that is going on in our country, and even as a former Marine, I forget about the fact that Murtha by himself is good enough reason to do an entire reset of ever person that walks on the White House lawn and the Capitol steps!!!

Tut, tut. Thou hast not applied "Cobras Corollary Number Seven" : )
Other than the words United States nothing should be attached to the Front of Marine, and only Veteran should follow when describing all Marines not presently serving in uniform. Someone alert the press to this decision so that they can correct themselves.

Murtha is not only a thief, he’s a rat. After the ABSCAM sting Murtha—named an unindicted co-conspirator by the feds—testified against two fellow Democrat congressmen. Both got prison time. When Murtha is indicted he could bring down a lot of Congress with him.

Ma. Where talking some serious *hit here. Seriously. Bear with me. If he did kick the bucket. Then there is going to be some serious rumblings going on in Persia. And the news that the Ruskies are not going to yield a bit to the zero man but in direct smack across Obi's face, tell him they plan on reserving the right to pre-emp with nuclear weapons on anyone in essence they deem as being an aggresor takes us way back to before the salt agreements, jerko Nixon entered into with them.
In short, I at least evaluate this early news by the Ruskie to do what they please as cold war... no cooperation with the west in a real sense regarding nuclear attacks.
I do not mean to lecture, but this could be a few very significant events. 1) Russia gets tough on nuclear arms while we have a asshole commie running the WH that wants to disarm us, and Iran losing their supreme leader. What level will the Russians continue to build up Iran, including their clandestine nuclear weapon development program.
2) If the old bastard did croak. This brings up new power struggles in Iran. Will the nut job continue to rein supreme for the most part. Will sounder minds surface that will forgo any further nuclear weapon development, etc..
There are ramifications. Did the Russians already know Iran's supreme leader died, and this was a part of the now position they are taking regarding so called self survival when it comes to holding the right to enact a nuclear pre-strike on who ever? Why did they suddenly diverge from what appeared might be a more cordial relationshiop with our State Department.
But I do enjoy kidding with you folks. To each of you. Love ya.
