Murtha – Always A Windbag

Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha died today at age 77.  He represented the PA 12^th District.   His gall bladder saved him from an embarrassing re-election defeat,  and saved the voters of the 12^th from any further embarrassment.   Remember in ’08 when he called them - his own voters –  racists?  

I’ll shed no tears for him.  I saw him as a bloated bombastic windbag, – always looking for the TV cameras and almost always on the wrong side of issues.  He was probably the “King of Pork” in Congress – the John Murtha Airport – with only three flights daily – being one of the more glaring examples.

I’ll let the Marines who served around him write his final epithet.  For my 2 cents worth: “G’bye John, – we won’t miss ya’!”
