As you might have heard, Pennsylvania Representative John Murtha passed away following complications due to gall bladder surgery. He served in Congress for 36 years after a decorated career in the Marines. The following is a collection of thoughts by our fellow bloggers:
The BoBo Files says: Sorry – no tears lost here for that corrupt bastard. I’m sure he’s trying to cut some deals with the devil now as we speak (assuming Kennedy hasn’t already beaten him to the punch).
Chicagoray’s Views and News says: [Unlike] the left when conservatives fall ill and pass on, I’ll wait until he’s buried to celebrate the loss. And celebrate I eventually will his absence from congress hereafter, and for that reason today America just became a better place, however for his family I mourn their sad loss as he was a human being most of the time.
Taxes, Stupidity, and Death says: Few people get to be so damned by their own words and deeds and still remain in their positions of power until the assume room temperature. I’m sorry for his family, but not for the “unindicted co-conspirator“.
Wisdom From Wenchypoo’s Mental Wastebasket says: I, for one, am glad John Murtha’s gone, and you should be too. … Hopefully, John Murtha’s passing will put an end to over-spending on antiquated military hardware and vehicles, and unwanted vehicles and hardware for the sake of bringing home the bacon.
Of the huge list of bloggers on my Political Blog Listing, those four quotes above represents all of what has been said about a man that has served over 3 decades in office. Just four. Most of the liberal blogs were silent on the issue, and the rest simply reposted news articles.
I might come back to this article in a few days, just in case some of the other bloggers have thoughts to share. However, as things look now, the legacy of Murtha’s political career will be focused on pork spending and as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the ABSCAM scandal.
Until then, our thoughts and prayers go out to the Murtha family at this time.
