[My Favorite Headache]

Breaking...

[onyx]

Some idiot lib on FOX earlier blamed the US health care system for Murtha’s death...
No- I am NOT making it up...

WHAT?

Not his greedy doctor(s)?

[txlurker]

Rest in Peace.

He’ll need God’s mercy because he sure as heck wouldn’t get for me.

Agreed. And now that he is dead, he is beyond any human action.

As far as I understand it, there will be no interim appointment, because in the House, they don't do that, only the senate.

Always an honor and a pleasure, Leo.

You’ve done fine work over the years with the MMG site, many of us here are appreciative of your perseverence.

All the Best, Brother.

May he rest in peace with Teddy.

RIP.

Correction to my post #380. Kerry carried the district by only a couple of percentage points in 2004. It was the only congressional district in the country that flipped from jackass to Republican in 2008, also by the narrowest of margins.

It is always sad to hear when a twice wounded Marine Staff officer with a Bronze Star w/ V device passes.

Uh-oh Was the surgeon a Republican?

I’ll never forget Reagan going into surgery after the assassination attempt and saying to the docs “I sure hope you’re Republicans!”

[Palladin]

Mmmmmm...torte reform! More whipped cream!

I hate to have anyone die before their time, but I am glad he is out of the House. I salute him for his service in the Marines, condemn him for his slander of the Haditha Marines and will pray that his family finds solace and comfort.

Spoken like a true gentleman. I worked in Johnstown for a bit, passed the airport many times. The people of his district will surely miss him.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Eternal rest grant into him O Lord
And may perpetual light shine upon him.

May his soul, and all the souls of the faithful departed,
Through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Amen.

News broke on Fox News about 5:30pm ET... my condolences to his family.

I will not speak ill of the dead. May Murtha rest in Peace.

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

The earlier story said that the organs leaked into the body cavity = peritonitis = fatality.

Bill Russell is a remarkable man. He will run for Murtha’s vacant seat and the voters in PA-12 will be well represented by Bill in Congress.
