The is what $150 million per year buys us. There isn't one person in Johnstown who is not dependant upon Murtha's pork.

UPDATE!!!!

House Dems to Shut Down GOP Earmark Website

The House Democratic leadership has initiated steps to shut down a House Republican-launched earmark reform website. The triggering event was an item reporting that Representative John Murtha (D-Pa.) had just been named “Porker of the Year.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) denied the GOP contention that the move was aimed at suppressing criticism of Murtha’s role in promoting government waste. “The claim that we would try to silence critics of one of America’s most revered public servants is ludicrous,” Pelosi said. “The simple truth is that use of the word ‘porker’ made the site an unacceptable insult to Muslims. We cannot let an official congressional web site be a party to such insensitive disparagement of one of the world’s great religions.”

Most revered public servants? That is sickening, Pelosi is farther gone than I thought she was.

It wouldn't surprise me if she had said it, but it's meant to be satirical.

Did you check the link, there's some funny stuff there! :)
