Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) dies today – they’re already predicting a tough battle for his seat in the House of Representatives…
They’re dropping like flies on poison garbage, they are.
And I like it.
To anyone who says “That’s horrible! Don’t disrespect the dead!” I say “Fuck it, and fuck you. Those nanny statist bastards are stealing from us, robbing us at gunpoint and fucking up America to try to make it socialist.” I say “Good riddance to bad trash.”
He was revered among Democrats — and even some Republicans — for his skill over 19 terms in using the power of the federal purse to make kings and deals. A right-hand man of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, he was considered one of the most influential lawmakers on Capitol Hill and credited with her ascension.
and
A hint of scandal lingered over much of Murtha’s career. The FBI named Murtha an “unindicted co-conspirator” in its ABSCAM sting operation in the late 1970s and early ‘80s. ABSCAM resulted in the conviction of five House members and one senator. The FBI recorded Murtha on videotape declining a $50,000 bribe from federal agents posing as Arab sheiks. But the Congressman did say he could be interested in future dealings.
This death couldn’t come at a worse time for the King George Obama-led administration. But you know what they say, “Coincidences are God’s way of staying anonymous.”
