Polipundit ^ | Nov. 16, 2006 | Michael Sparxx

BREAKING NEWS:

Conservatives with Attitude! insiders are informing us that Congressman John Murtha will DROP OUT of the running for the number 2 spot in the House as Majority Leader.

Even if he does stay in the race, he will fall short by a few votes.

This will serve as a big blow to Nancy Pelosi.

Damn. I was rooting for him. They couldn't pick a more unattractive, un-American leader.

He just told Matthews last night he had the votes. It wouldn't be the first time he'd be wrong.....nor the last.

Not really. She was only going through the motions. She didn't make much of an effort beyond issuing her letter of support.

A shame really. The more that the public sees of Nancy and Murtha, the more horrified they would become at the consequneces of their actions. If the Dems act HALF as irresponsibly over the next two years as they have in the past ten days, the GOP ought to easily recapture the House and Senate in '08.

Almost as funny as Al Gore endorsing Howard Dean just before he self destructed in the 2004 race.

(YEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHH!)

Interesting. There's a Drudge Report link to Chrissie Matthews interview, where Murtha says he's got the votes, and is going to win. This is just from yesterday.

That was probably is downfall not the fact that he is a corrupt, libelous traitor.
