That, according to John Fund, is what Representative Jack Murtha (D-12th of PA) is to the Democrats, and what he would be to the country if he ever got near the post of Majority Floor Leader in the House. His sins go further than his ridiculous statements on matters of war and peace. He has an Abscam record, and evidently he has been trying to make Congress less accountable, not more, to the public ever since.

But he has the support of that maniac Markos Moulitsas and his equally mad crowd at Daily Kos (sorry, no link--some things ought never be linked). That, says Fund, has gone to his head--though I wonder whether, if the Kos weren't around, Jack Murtha wouldn't have invented him.

This November, the people of the Twelfth District have a decision to make. If Jack Murtha is their idea of a good Congressman, then shame on them.
