....the Democrat pissed off by other Democrats. Just like I don't believe for a minute that Paul McCartney was unaware of Heather Mills' porn past and then it just suddenly bubbled to the surface when she filed for divorce from the non-prenup-protected Beatle, I think I know who is responsible for all the recent coverage of John Murtha's past sins a-bubblin' to the surface today (Novak's column, Rush's monologue, freeper blog coverage etc etc etc). I bet you anything the culprit is none other than House Democrat whip Steny Hoyer. Isn't it interesting that although Murtha has been the face of the pull-out now crowd since last November, it is only days after he announces that he wants to replace Hoyer in the Dem leadership (if they win the House back in November, of course) that his past involvement in the ABSCAM scandal of 1979-1980 comes roaring back to life?
Murtha was an unindicted co-conspirator who testified against other Democrat congressmen who took bribes from a "Saudi sheik" who was actually a federal agent. He was cleared by the Congression Ethics Committe on a completely partisan line vote. Hardly seems like the type of person a party would be looking to lead the "culture of corruption" brigade? Good job Rep. Hoyer! We on the the better side of the aisle congratulate you.
