(To recap: I am not one to be all teary-eyed about political enemies. Fuck 'em.)
John Murtha, SenatorCongresscritter from Pennsylvania, is apparently dead. This means that he will not be called to account for his myriad crimes against his constituents and his fellow citizens by standing trial before the temporal court of justice he so richly deserved.
But he's got a higher Tribunal to answer to now.
Good riddance. See you in Hell, SenatorCongressman. Maybe your constituents will have better sense in the future.
Actually he was in the House, not the Senate. Although I have no doubt that he was the biggest earmark player in the House. Perhaps you were confusing him with West Virginia Senator Robert C. Byrd who is the biggest earmarking politician in the Senate. And whose picture is in the dictionary next to earmark. And whose name adorns every federally funded building in West Virgina.
Excellent point, thanks.
