"There's nothing sinister about checking public records on someone running for Congress, especially when that person is not well known," Murtha said through a spokeswoman.

I suppose Murtha is correct in saying that and I hope he realizes that there is nothing sinister about checking into FBI tapes that have been in the public arena showing a Congressman tabling a proposed bribe to a later date.

I believe Murtha has much to fear about bringing up past behavior whereas Ms. Irey has nothing to fear, but as she says, she hasn't stooped to hiring a PI to dig up dirt.

I actually agree with Mr. Murtha (which doesn't happen much). There's nothing sinister about looking into public records.

However, I fail to see why he would need a private investigator for such a simple procedure.

Can you spell ABSCAM, boys and girls? How about Kit, as in brother Murtha?

I knew you could! :)

He's getting scared. He needs to be run out of D.C.
