(Via Hot Air)

WASHINGTON — The race to be the No. 2 House Democratic leader turned nasty Tuesday, with challenger Rep. John Murtha accusing opponents of “swift-boat style attacks” that hark back to his days being investigated in the FBI’s 1980 Abscam sting.

In which Murthafucker avoided being indicted because he was too greedy to accept the undercover agent’s initial offer, holding out his fat, grubby little hands for more. Who said greed doesn’t pay?

“I am disconcerted that some are making headlines by resorting to unfounded allegations that occurred 26 years ago.”

“Unfounded allegations” caught on videotape, mind you.

“I thought we were above this type of swift-boating attack.”

Translation: “I’m a VETERAN! Behold my Absolute Moral Authority Card™!”

“This is not how we restore integrity and civility to the United States Congress,” Murtha said of the ample press coverage of his link to Abscam and more recent negotiations he made as ranking Democrat on the Defense Appropriations Committee.

Some would suggest that electing un-indicted co-conspirators in bribe scandals isn’t how you do it either.

The New York Times on Tuesday also reported that Murtha helped block changes in ethics policies that Democrats proposed last year and is known as “an astute backroom-deal maker known for trading votes for the pet projects known as earmarks. He has had family members who lobbied on issues under his control.”

We’re certainly glad that the New York Times abstained from publishing that kind of information prior to the midterms. Imagine the outrage if a fantastically unbiased and professional paper like that did something that might influence an election?

So Jack “Okinawa Express” Murthafucker is finding himself in the crossfire now?

I don’t care where you come from, that’s funny, right there.

    Good fisk, boss.

    However, despite the fact we must endure Jack Murtha, remember this, it’s a possibility. The Majority of Democrats MAY NOT vote for him. They may prefer a moderate so they’re not vetoed, or God forbid, their stupid agenda doesn’t alienate voters enough to make their majority stance a 2 year phenomenon only…..

    I for one hope they pick these radicals. They will propose scary shit, but the majority will not back it and would sooner back the GOP and real conservatives over radicals giving their party a death sentence. Or they may leave the DNC, and for a third party with some possible disgruntled GOP cons. Now this is all hypothetical, but this could all work out.

    Murtha, Murtha, what is his record again? What campaigns did he earn his medals in? Just curious since I can’t find scheisse on his feats of bravery or lifting a truck off Ma and Pa Kent in Smallville.

    Murtha, Murtha, what is his record again? What campaigns did he earn his medals in?

    I remember something about him getting a Merit Badge for his innovative filing system while he was a REMF.

    You have to love the Swiftvets. They shot Ketchup John Kerry out of the saddle. Now the true irony in this lies in the fact that Kerry would rather climb a tree to tell a lie than stand on solid ground and tell the truth. If Johnboy could have avoided playing JFK-lite and told the truth…..oh, he’d really be screwed then. Delicious irony.

    Is it just me, or does Murtha look like an old, grey, version of Larry The Cable Guy?

    Off topic, but in an attempt to lighten the last seven days of doom and gloom, I wanna ask does anyone here remember this??

    “Out on the road for forty days / Last night in Little Rock, put me in a haze / Sweet, sweet Connie, doin’ her act / She had the whole show and that’s a natural fact .”–”We’re an American Band,” Grand Funk Railroad

    If you do, you can read Connie’s story here: The Oldest Living Confederate Groupie Tells All

    And for you die hard political junkies, Bill Clinton is mentioned on page 7…

    Hamzy’s famous lovers weren’t confined to rock and roll. In 1984, Connie alleges she had a steamy make-out session with then-governor Bill Clinton in a laundry room at the Little Rock Hilton, a claim the former President has adamantly denied. Hamzy detailed the incident in a January 1992 Penthouse interview, but Clinton press secretary Mike Gauldin was tipped off about the story before the issue hit newsstands, calling the allegations “baseless and malicious lies.” The Clinton team moved to discredit Hamzy by getting signed statements of denial from the members of his entourage who were present that day in 1984. Hamzy pleaded her case on numerous tabloid talk shows, but the legitimate press refused to run her story. On January 25, 1997, Hamzy took a polygraph test arranged by the conservative political magazine The American Spectator . She passed. “I may be a slut,” she says, “but I’m no liar.”

    Mark 6591,

    Yeah, he don’t like them swifties. From his perspective,they were on the other side back then, and they still are today.

    He can call ‘em anything he likes, ‘cept liars.

    Well, this is about to get interesting. A brand new congressional majority, and they are trying to cripple it before they are sworn in.

    This is just TOO GOOD!

    +++++++++++++++++

    MoMinuteMan, IIRC, Connie accurately described the . . . er, appendage in question, shall we say, prior to the details of the leftward bend became public.

    Awww, did mama’s little Murtha forget this little oath thingie?

    “I, (name of Member), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

    Well damn those, “unfounded allegations“… :lol_wp:

    Apparently the newly face lifted Pelosi isn’t showing any love towards Murtha either If the Washington Prowler over at American Spectator claims…

    http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=10626

    Yet the Clinton News Network claims differently

    Funny how the party of the Seditious & Sleazy eat their own… :devil_tb:

    Notice the emerging pattern…

    Anyone criticising a politician with a military background is being labeled a “Swift-Boater”

    Even when the criticism has nothing to do with their Military Service.
