Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.), one of the leading anti-war voices in the House Democratic Caucus, is back from a trip to Iraq…

Murtha’s opinions on anything, good, bad or otherwise are rooted in mud.
Now his opinions are as worthless to Pelosi as they are to everyone else.
I can’t wait for this worthless piece of garbage to go away.

I think Nancy charged Murtha with finding a way to get the timetable off the table…

Yep, Nancy is making Jack bend over and “take one for the team”. It must have been Nancy’s schmooze with the Syrian optometrist that turned the tide, because I distinctly remember that she told us “the road to peace leads through Damascus!”

I think Nancy charged Murtha with finding a way to get the timetable off the table, so suddenly the surge is working and the timetable is negotiable. She’s making him eat this one.

Let’s look at Rep. Murtha’s record as a Marine.

I think he spent to much time near the artillery and the concussions have scrambled his brain and he is facing a similar fate as the bunny-a complete melt down from the heat of the truth.

Murtha: Surge is Working…

While many war supporters have been pointing to security improvements in Iraq as evidence that the Surge is working for weeks, the meme got a significant boost yesterday from an unlikely source: Congressman Jack Murtha.

As the economy softens (or will it?), look for more Carvillisms.

It is sure softening for the thousands of people facing foreclosure thanks to the sub-prime lending practices that preyed on the poorer people in our country.

Murtha can rot in hell as far as I am concerned. His BS has caused harm to our brave service people and I will never forgive him for that. He is nothing but a SOS.
