U.S. Rep. Frank Mascara has put a $1,000 price on congressman John Murtha's opinion.

With less than three weeks to go until the May 21 primary election, Mascara's campaign office has put out "wanted" posters with Murtha's likeness on them. On the posters, Mascara's campaign called the Johnstown Democrat "Jack P. 'Payraise' Murtha."

Desperate Democrats 'dis each other.. Actually, Mascara is the only desperate one, although John Murtha has had to do something he hasn't had to do for 10 years, at least... advertise. Murtha was as automatic as they come.

Oh, and there haven't been any takers for this reward, as noted in today's story:

No takers on Mascara's offer

[Willie Green]

Murtha is 70 and Mascara is 72.

A debate would be a real snoozer.

Both should retire.
