Murtha dies
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=9779550
Quote:U.S. Rep. John Murtha, an influential critic of the Iraq War whose congressional career was shadowed by questions about his ethics, died Monday. He was 77.

RE: Murtha dies
After trashing the Marines and essentially calling them cold-blooded murderers...and not apologizing after they were exonerated, f'em. Sorry, when Dems like Blanche Lincoln, Evan Bayh, Kucinich, etc., die, I won't celebrate. People like Murtha, however, good f'n riddance. It's not about politics. He was a POS in the highest order.

I hate to speak evil of the departed, so I'll say nothing.

RE: Murtha dies
He had misplaced loyalties. He will ever be associated with "Abscam", Corruption, and earmarks for Pa. Along with his views on the Iraq war.... RIP

RE: Murtha dies
I hear that he got blood poisoning from a slip of the surgeon's knife, cutting into his intestines accidentally during the operation.
