WASHINGTON – Rep. John Murtha has been hospitalized in intensive care stemming from complications related to gallbladder surgery.

Spokesman Matt Mazonkey says the 77-year-old Pennsylvania congressman underwent scheduled surgery last week and is currently at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington.

Murtha was also hospitalized in December with gallbladder problems.

The 19-term Democrat was the first Vietnam veteran to serve in Congress. He leads the powerful House Appropriations subcommittee on defense spending.

“I think that Congressman Murtha has given too much of himself in the service of his country. He should retire immediately to conserve his health for himself and his family.

How’s that?”

Fine. Now say it again without that huge grin on your face! LoL!

Unless I’m mistaken, Murtha served part of a term commencing in the spring of in 1974 (he was first elected in a special-election upset when the GOP incumbent died), so this is his 19th term and he’s running for his 20th.

Remember folks. We are better than the other side. We may not like his politics, but he does have family. We need to respect that they are suffering right now wondering what will happen to their father/husband. Let us stay on the high ground. That being said, I still hope he loses his reelection bid.

You reap what you sow. Maybe old Murtha is paying the piper,so to speak,for his sins against the Republic?

Well said.

For the sake of those who love him, I pray for his rapid recovery and return to health. For the sake of our country, I hope he retires to spend more time with his loved ones.

Thank you. I just don’t want us to be in the same gutter as those on the other side. We are better than that.

***Murtha was also hospitalized in December with gallbladder problems. ***

If they operate, I wonder how many CO2 credits he bought for the gas to inflate his abdomen so they can perform surgery!

I’m glad the socialist medical system is working hard to keep Murtha healthy.

Gee, I guess a government hospital wasn't good enough for him. Go figure.

I have had some personal enemies that just bothered me so much, that I actually sat down and prayed for them. Hard.

Over a couple of weeks my hatred thawed. I was able to reach out to them and make amends. We are not friends, but I sleep better at night.

Your mileage may vary. No judgement on my part....just my experience.
