I question whether or not he was a Marine.

[...] Update! Allah, as always, asks some quite apposite questions. He has quite a bit more on Sully’s crackpot crackup, too, including this priceless bit: Please note: Ana Marie Cox is now the only one of Time’s holy trinity of bloggers who hasn’t floated a batshit conspiracy theory on the magazine’s website. And she’s “the dumb one.” It’s Sullivan and Joshy Rolled-Eyes, the “serious” political thinkers, who have taken to using an esteemed newsweekly as a bullhorn to minimize terrorism. But say this for Marshall: at least when he’s dogpaddling through the fever swamp, he doesn’t pause intermittently to lecture his readers about what “true conservatism” means. [...]

Murtha is a buffoon. A loud-mouthed opportunist who wanted to further his career on the backs of our servicemen. He should be ashamed..but I doubt it.

JasonG, you’re very wise – the anti-war ‘icon’ has disappeared. The lawsuit was a brilliant move!

If only the other anti-war ‘icon’ John Kerry would disappear as well. Teresa needs to resume talking to him one more time to remind him that he actually lost in 2004.

Twould be nice if Irey could unseat that shmuck.

If nothing else, at least she appears to be keeping him too busy campaigning to avoid losing his seat to have time to go on TV and spread more propaganda.

No polling data yet, just re-iterations of Kerry narrowly winning the district by 51 vs 48. That means to me that: a/ people are in the looking-at-tea-leaves stage or b/ both sides have polls of which neither is proud [the incumbent finds a shockingly narrow gap vs previous campaigns; the challenger wants to be able to show an even narrower gap to get resources for the final months].
Now, if you will excuse me, I need to go to the little room down the hall and take a murtha.

I prefer to have Murtha front and center for the next few months, displaying the cowardice cut and run tactics embraced by the Democrat looney-birds.

People like Murtha, Sheehan and Dean, unknowingly remain the gifts that keep on giving to the Republican Party.

The outcome from the “UN mandated” cut and run policy shoved down the Israeli’s throat might offer us a barometer on the merits of Murtha’s foolish perspective.

Hope you’re paying attention Murth, Cindy and Howie.

Something must be done. Our forefathers ARE turning in their graves. The absolute deceit being printed in many of our largest media outlets is disgusting and bordering on criminal. The ‘free press’ has been used as a tool to sway and confuse, either for personal gain or politicians futures, but not to tell the truth as it was designed. Power and huge money have inhibited the natural process where bad or shady companies dont survive from lack of support. Penalties and charges might be our only recourse to preserve this important part of America.
Slander seems to be something just talked about. I don’t know that part of the law well enough, but it seems to be criminal actions are going unpunished.
How can we let this go on… we just can’t.

That’s a good point, Jason. Congressman Senility has been rather scarce.

Has anyone seen any polling data for his race?

The Marine Corps motto is Semper Fidelis, always faithful.

Apparently Mr. Murtha has construed it to Semper Pandering….

Good to see him disappearing though, let’s just pray for his opponent in November so he can do a REAL disappearing act.

I actually believed that Patterico’s version of events was true when we started to see less and less of Murtha. It’s telling when the Dems’ go to guy for criticizing the war suddenyl stops appearing on TV.
