Did you see this as to why Murtha has made a big deal about his withdrawal proposal?

There was a freeper on the Live Thread that made a reference about that ... but I wasn't sure what s/he was taking about

Another thing I found out on that thread was that Murtha was involved with ABSCAM

I saw that about ABSCAM and am glad that someone found it or remembered because I'd long forgotten about that.

Murtha is trying to deflect criticism for what he feels is a coming House ethics probe and now he'll just say "it's politics", etc.

Somehow the Democrats do a pretty good job of playing defense. Pre-emptive defense at that :-)
