WASHINGTON -- A Pennsylvania congressman and longtime friend of the late Rep. John Murtha said late Monday the congressman's large intestine was damaged during gallbladder surgery and the complications led him to be hospitalized.
The Pennsylvania Democrat died at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Va., where he was admitted on Jan. 31. The gallbladder surgery was performed days earlier at the National Naval Medical Center, in Bethesda, Md., which didn't immediately return messages seeking comment.

Rep. Bob Brady said an infection developed and that Murtha had a fever when he was admitted to the Virginia hospital.
Brady called Murtha his "buddy" and says he'll remember him forever. "There will never be another Jack Murtha," Brady said. "He went out on top of his game."

Marine Corpse? (Obama tribute)
How ironically sad for Murtha that the streets of heaven are guarded by United States Marines!
How ironically sad for Murtha that the streets of heaven are guarded by United States Marines! No doubt he’ll have two pallbearers at his funeral as there are only two handles on a standard Navy sh*tcan! The coffin of course will be draped with a piss-colored yellow bed sheet.

isn’t the naval hospital basically government run? don’t these members of congress have national healthcare?
I was always taught NEVER to piss off my doctors because they can determine life or death. I wouldn’t want to tangle with a Marine either.
TRUE. And many of these people work for contractors where the main objective is profit. Now I'm wondering which Contractor the medical team was hired by.
Tennessee has joined several other states in trying to pass a Health Care Freedom Act. NO COLAs for granny, retired Military or retired fed employees for 2-3 years. BIG NEW fees for Tricare for Life retired over 65 Military's secondary health ins. (DOD bill already passed, delayed but goes into effect 2011)
New Dem mantra: Woof, woof eat dog food granny....ala let them eat cake.
I guess our elitists in congress can’t completely avoid medical “oopsies” with their best health care in the world. Better watch out with those botox injections Nance.
That's the last thing I'd want for myself. Thank God for his Grace. But, I get your point.

Or maybe his doctor or nurse just didn't like him, he was a nasty old SOB. (just kidding)
I wouldn’t wish it on almost anyone.
For what he said about our Marines in Iraq, may his tombstone be a working Latrine.
I wish him luck on finding residence in the afterlife.
He will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.
Murtha was a corrupt, big-government Democrat who lied about US war crimes.
Why wouldn't MSNBC adore him?
From what has been alleged that is just one example of many why this politician acted like a piece of feces.
Do past historic deeds as well as winning popularity contests every two years with the help of earmarks (Money from tax payers in case KOS toddlers or DUmmies are lurking for ammo) as bribing mechanisms trump present lies, slander and corruption? Apparently only if you are a democrat.
Handy medical iPhone ap available at that linky.
“He went out on top of his game.”
Which would have given us plenty of room to bring him down.
So he was “murdered”!!!!!
Yes.
