ROFLOL! Murtha waving that little red copy of the Constitution around is a great impersonation of Robert Byrd!

Wow! The Feds are closing in on Murtha. From your link, jaz, Questions About Murtha Contract Awards :

"CBS News has learned that federal agents are also looking into a Murtha-backed research firm "Electro Optic Center." According to a source interviewed by the FBI: In one year, the Center sought $120 million in earmarks directly through Murtha's office and managers urged employees to donate to Murtha so the Center would get favorable treatment.

We found at least six donors linked to the Center gave to Murtha on the same day last year, just days before earmarks were decided.

Republican Rep. Jeff Flake, who's against earmarks of any kind, is calling for an ethics investigation and says it could dwarf the last lobby mess to hit Washington.

"In terms of contributions and circular fundraising and the involvement of members it's much bigger [than the Abramoff scandal]," he said. "Much bigger."


What a great day! Sec. Navy Winters is out, Murtha is being hammered for his earmark ethics, and Lt. Col. Chessani has the UCI dismissal upheld.

Hmmm....Murtha Gate part (lost count) and Obama funny money accounting (can't count that high) on the same night on CBS?

Has the world turned upside down or is there blood in the water and the thrashing is just too irresistible?
