We are not supposed to speak ill of the dead. But those whom the deceased viciously smeared and humiliated deserve to be defended. Entrenched Rep. John Murtha passed away on Feb. 8 after a botched gallbladder surgery. He has been hailed as a "military advocate" (Associated Press) and "one of the greatest patriots ever to serve in Congress" (former Rep. Harold Ford Jr.).
These obsequious obituaries leave out inconvenient truths: John "Jack" Murtha was an unrepentant smear merchant and corruptocrat to the bitter end.
In May 2006, during an MSNBC appearance that Marines and their families will never forget or forgive, Murtha accused US troops of wantonly killing some two dozen civilians, including children, in the terrorist stronghold of Haditha, Iraq. Bellowed Murtha: "Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them, and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood."

Indubitably. HEY! I know what your screen name means! Maybe you could answer me this question? They say, like, 106 million people watched the Superbowl. How could they possibly know that? Nobody asked me. Kinda freaks me out that they know what my TV is doing. ;-)
I do not believe this is a word. Moreover, the remainder of your reply makes no sense to me. Can you rephrase it?
Hmmmmm
Maybe he was operated on by a PC doctor.
Morning fieldmarshaldj,
This mornings editorial in the N.Y. Post about Ford not paying taxes in N.Y. for the three years he’s lived there should put the last nail in his smarmy rer.
As to the second part I really question things like when they say a certain number of people did this on a certain day. Kinda like unemployment. They say there is around 10% unemployment, yet in my circle, which includes family, friends, neighbors, and (former)co-workers, there is 78% unemployment. Make believe is fine. I enjoy a good story. When it is touted as fact it pisses me off. :-)
Your “circle's” unemployment rate is alarming. Best wishes for improvement.
