Excuse me for my ignorance Mr. Murtha, but you sir swore an Oath to uphold and Defend the Constitution of these United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Too bad you’re an arrogant piece of trash with no respect for the ideals of this country.

Do I have to post a photo to say............................Guilty!

And the voters in his district love it. They’ll even re-elect the sh**head next election like they just did this past November.
It’s the old, “But he’s OUR SOB!”

PA Voters: "He may be a crook, but at least he's our crook."
This approach can actually be very effective for politicians (see Marion Barry).

Nixon was not a crook.
He went down because he lied when he said he knew nothing about a break in at the DNC National HQ.

Mr. Murtha said. "My job as a member of Congress is to make sure that we take care of what we see is necessary. Wrong Mr. Murtha. Here is you job. You swear to it ever two years.
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
But I guess for crooks, an oath means nothing.

Murtha should be in prison getting traded for a candy bar and a pack of cigarettes.
