The Most Ethical Congress in History /NOT!

Update and followup to previous post.

The House voted on party lines to not reprimand Murtha for his threatening a fellow lawmaker. Even the New York Times has noticed that with our new democrat leadership ethics are an elusive goal. (today's comments from The Times) The poster boy for Ethics Reform John P. Murtha was mentioned in The Times today, "He was accused of violating a new ethics rule that prohibits lawmakers from swapping pork for votes." And after he did that he threatened another member of the House.

Murtha is not a stranger to corruption and graft, or bullying for that matter.

Pelosi and Murtha have done a lot to try to lose the war against Islamofascists. Between Pelosi venturing to meet with Syrian dictator Bashar Assad and her inability to move the House in any direction other than surrender we don't need any more of these kind of ethics!

Jim McDermott of Seattle has lost his battle to appear innocent of leaking illegally obtained wiretaps. (read the above article with a huge grain of salt, Jackie Kucinich (daughter of department of peace advocate and joke of a presidential cadidate Dennis Kucinich) wrote the article. The Seattle- PI hometown paper of Baghdad Jim had this to say about the case.

The voters need to see these charlatans for what they are, ethically challenged elitists.

Bullycrat or Buffooncrat? You Make the Call.

Representative John P. Murtha (friend of earmarks everywhere, unless he doesn't like you) threatened a Republican lawmaker that called him on his earmarks. Pelosi Defends a Bully has the full story of this week's encounter.

Grandma Fran Nan defended this senile pol. Pelosi defends her attack dog.

Murtha is the chief surrendercrat in the House, influencing Pelosi and other weak-willed, but well heeled individuals. Murtha an unindicted co-conspirator of ABSCAM scandal that brought many congressmen down. (Great Synopsis of Murtha and ABSCAM ) courtesy of the Spectator with links to video and transcripts.

Murtha is also a geographic genius. He suggested that our military retreat from the theater of operations in Iraq and move to Okinawa so that they can react quickly. When asked if he really meant Okinawa, he told Tim Russert yes. Michelle Malkin details Murtha's Okinawa comments.

Murtha's service in the military deserves to be honored. His criminal activity in the House should be investigated and IF he had any sense of honor he would resign. Of course, he is a defeatocrat, bullycrat, so he won't quit until someone beats him in an election that he can't fix.
