House covers Murtha’s backside

Eric Zimmermann at The Hill reports tonight that the most ethical Congress ever voted again to cover corruptocrat John Murtha’s ample backside:
For the sixth time, the House has rejected a resolution by Rep. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) to initiate an ethics investigation into the relationship between lawmakers at the PMA Group. This time, however, Flake gained more Democratic supporter than any of the previous votes.
The “privileged resolution”–requiring action within a few days–was tabled by a vote of 210-173, with 25 Democrats voting to keep the resolution alive. Last time, 17 Democrats voted with Flake.
Flake is a long time anti-earmark crusader who has sought to call attention to the ethical shadow surrounding the PMA lobbying firm, which FBI agents raided in February. Paul Magliocchetti, the founder of the firm and a former aide to Rep. John Murtha (D-PA), has closed the lobbying shop and moved to Florida.
To paraphrase the King of Pork, they’re not corrupt, they’re just taking care of each other.

I can’t stand this anymore!!! Why do we have to take this?
Is Barney in charge of covering his backside?
Couldn’t Madoff say the same thing? “If I’m corrupt, it’s because I take care of my family and friends.” There’s always a way to rationalize helping some at the expense of others. But the decision to break the law is a lot easier when the middleman gets a big piece of the action, too.
And you thought weasels never ever operated as a herd….
I have nothing to say except…. fat man Murtha… meet me anywhere any time…. 5 minutes in a closed room. I’m not bragging or pontificating. I’m promising an outcome. He is such a piece of crap. A pox on the people who proliferate the Houses of Congress for their cowardice.
unbelievable – the most ethical congress evah – unless you want them to investigate themselves. Hypocritical doesn’t even begin to describe it. These are the people who make the law for heaven sakes!
That’s low, but that’s Comment of the Day™
Thanks for nothing, PA voters!!!! Shame on you.
Covering Murtha’s ample a$$ will take a huge tarp! Seriously, none of these corruptocrats are being made to answer for anything. How will we ever get the cuffs on them and put them behind bars where they belong? This is beyond frustrating! I long for the day when they all are brought to justice and tried for corruption and treason!
And his front.
Time to bring back public hangings. I didn’t watch Saddam being hanged, but I would pay to watch obama, pelosi, frank, dodd, biden, murtha, and geitner get the noose.
That’s not going to happen. But life in prison would be nice. I wonder what Pelosi will do when the botox wears off. Even Big Bertha would be turned off!
*Barney would disappear covering that backside, but I don’t think Murtha goes both ways; He’s just in it for himself.
*This rat bastard Murtha is public enemy #1 as far as the face of corruption in DC; Do the good people of Pennsylvania not understand that the house seat belongs to them; Take it back people by electing a true public servant, not this arrogant hog in a suit and tie.
Agreed! Murtha called them a bunch of ignorant rednecks and the people of Western Pennsylvania went to the polls and agreed with him. So they not only allowed Murtha to buy their votes but they sold their integrity and self-respect as well.
News flash, Murtha is not the only representative from Pennsylvania. Blame the people around Johnstown, not the entire state.
As for me, I will not be happy until the traitor Murther is placed in the pillory in the town square.
Once again, blame the idiots who vote the idiots into office.
They could’ve easily gotten rid of him in November 2008, but they didn’t. Idiots.
A team of reporters should be up Murtha’s ass every day until his term is up. But no. No wonder we have no respect for the press. They won’t go full court to expose the hell out of worthless sacks of sh*t like Murtha.
I say run all these morons into the Potomac.
I stated it on Hot Air, Murtha needs a check up from the neck up a mandatory mental checkup. There is something not right going on he’s lost it.
Have you considered that he called them that because that is exactly what they are? Operative word being – IGNORANT.
Oh, Murtha hasn’t done anything wrong. Didn’t he just get the Navy’s Distinguished Public Service Award? /sarc
Some people just make blood spurt out of my eyes…
I don’t know who’s worse, him or the people who vote for him.
She would just sue the government claiming it as cruel and unusual treatment to be refused her treatments. In today’s society, it would be offered free of charge.
The fact that people are willfully voting these people in and back in to office is scary enough. The fact that even a small percentage of Americans would be following them, in fact, screaming and encouraging them to take this path to our certain destruction makes me mourn for my nation. I fear that it is already a lost cause, though I pray that I am wrong.
To paraphrase: “This is how
democaracya Constitutional Republic dies … to the sound of thunderous applause!”It’s nice to have the free press in your back pocket. Sort of leaves America without any choices doesn’t it.
“Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace.” — James Madison
We are down to one …
Hey Tarpon — Don’t count out the military. I think the Pentagon and our ALL VOLUNTEER military would stand with us and the Constitution. We’re down to TWO … Screw the press, they’ve violated their Constitutional mandate and are just as guilty as these criminal politicians. As for Murtha, I would like to get the NEXT 5 minutes in a room with him. What a pompous A$$!!!
Pelosi and many others in congress undoubtedly have their own crimes to hide. Those who voted to protect Murtha are more likely to be guilty of misconduct themselves than are those who voted for the investigation. Too bad the sheeple who continually vote for these slime balls don’t seem to take notice of such simple logic.
The people in Murtha’s district, that keep re-electing this self admitted thief, consider themselves and their actions to be American. I consider them to be American thieves just like him and abetors for stealing from the rest of us. Hey you pennsy pansies, there will come a day when you will need the rest of us, and we won’t be there for you.
Did you expect anything less from this most ethical congress? If there was a march on Washington DC , you would see the rats abandon ship posthaste.
Two words: Term Limits…
Well, here’s hoping that when Benedict Arlen gets thrown out, Murtha gets thrown out with him.
I remember the intense euphoria I felt when Tom Daschle was defeated! That was such a great election for the repubicans and such great defeat for the dems. I have not felt like that since. If Murtha loses in 2010, I will get that feeling back. Or if he should happen to die…same feeling. I know, that is mean. But he is one a@#hole who deserves the sentiment.
but we play in two different games. the dems bring ethics charges against sarah for wearing a coat with a logo of a company which sponsors her husbands snowmobiling sport. republicans won’t bring charges when a senator kills someone. if mr steele, mr mcconnel, and mr boehner would open their mouth and publicly condemn these thieves and scoundrels, their base might have more respect for them. but go along to get along while the other guy is shooting at you with a howitzer is plain stupid.
Her face will melt like the Nazi’s did in Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark, thusly.
Yes! Exactly where are the Republicans lately??? Has ANYONE stood up for this country? Has ANY of them actually spoken out against the tyranny that is going on in DC? The corruption? I have heard a couple of weak attempts, but nothing else. If the shoe was on the other foot, the dems would be raging on TV every chance the got. Why are we so timid? Timidity never won a war and it will do us NO good in this one. We need to replace all the RINOs in Congress with some real patriots who have backbones. This is worse than disgusting. I am embarrassed for the whole lot of them.
HA!!
Two terms. . . One in office, one in jail.
If the real criminal activities of people like Jefferson, Emmanuel, Schumer, Pelosi, Feinstein, Dodd, Rangel, and Murtha can’t be investigated much less be brought to justice – then who can be?
This is an outrage than cannot be allowed to stand. These people are above the law. Where is the criminal justice system? Where are the Republicans? Oh, never mind. We have Mad Max secularists running the country now.
These people are not patriots, or even Americans. They are selfish statist traitors without the guts to do their own theiving. They want their elected reps to do it for them.
If this government continues on the current path, their Redistribution Party will come to a screeching halt.
I am SO going to plagerize that!!
