Despite the unusually bipartisan blogospheric coverage of the secret hold last year, despite the numerous unflattering stories since about Democrats not doing enough to trim pork, despite Murtha’s embarrassing threat against Mike Rogers and the subsequent “lost earmark,” despite all the windage about their allegedly exacting ethical standards, despite a public approval rating that’s in the toilet and circling the drain, they felt comfortable enough to take one of their few genuine legislative accomplishments and tear it to pieces.

He is a disgrace as a representative and he's a disgrace to the Marine Corps, and this coming from me, a former Marine. I wonder how many millions this old thief has stolen from the taxpayers of this country to keep himself in office. What really should be audited is every congressional earmark, where did it go and who received it, then, if the recipient of the earmark was a contributor to that representative's campaign, the representative should be taxed for the donation (or make it an illegal donation) and the recipient of the earmark should be taxed for the earmark as income.
