You smell somthin dead around here?

Wasn’t he the one who had the private federally funded airport?

PING, no bets on passing the Pearly gates.

Unfortunate.

Gov. Rendell will undoubtedly appoint someone who can get elected.

I would have preferred for this fraud to remain alive long enough to be humilated in the ballot box, then die.

[RetSignman]

Pity.

You’ve got your answer right there: almost 2-to-1 white collar to blue!

I can’t imagine what would cause this unless it was MRSA

A liver abscess is a rare complication of gall bladder surgery. My father had one, and although it's almost always fatal, some, like my father, survive. He was on a respirator for 3 weeks, though...

I’m sure Ted’s showing him around.

Your bad, but funny........lol

[Clinging Bitterly]

Sad for Murtha and his loved ones.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

Clinging out, with no more to say about that.

[b4its2late]

I can tell!

In a flash people will forget about his politics. Only his family and friends will remember him in a year.

Rick Santorum?

Anyway, gallbladder surgery at 77 isn't usually life threatening but we don't know Murtha's medical history. If he had any other health issues as well, the surgery may have been too much for his system.

Bring back Traficant in 2010!

Biggest ally Nancy Pelosi had in the House Democratic caucus.

RIP, BTW.
