What I think/I’d like to say/really needs saying, isn’t printable here, so I won’t do it.

Since our visit, the Murtha airport has received from the federal government $559,476 in stimulus funds to rehab a back-up runway, $82,551 for air guidance signs, $226,638 to improve the taxiway, $19,412 wildlife hazard assessments, $95,950 and $62,325 to install weather reporting.

I thought this crap was supposed to stop . . . what with Boner in charge of congressional spending . . . And we're not supposed to worry about Mittens Romney getting into the White House to rubber stamp this crap each and every day?

My God . . . what are we taxpayers supposed to do? . . . Why didn't Bonehead stop this right there in congress . . . or was he playing golf with the muslim interloper who lives in our White House?

Did Santorum support or oppose Murtha’s earmarks that built the airport??

I dunno - just asking?

Murtha is gone (courtesy of malpractice by the Bethesda Naval Hospital medical staff), but he has relatives embedded in companies whose sole aim is to milk the American taxpayer. The family is a thriving criminal enterprise.

Wow.
Murtha airport ping.

I live only 30 miles from there and had no idea. I figured it was like our own tiny Jimmy Stewart airport here in Indiana County. Quinn has talked about the Murtha airport a lot.

The airport? Hell, the entire city of Johnstown has been living on Federal largesse brought home by John Murtha (and little else) ever since those 10,000 mill workers were placed on waivers back in 1977.

Now that Murtha has assumed room temperature, and his former district is being recut into the greater Pittsburgh area, look for Johnstown to quickly empty out and become Ghosttown in the near future.
