On “Hardball” last night, John “Okinawa” Murtha bashed Gen. Petraeus, claiming he only came to Washington to “make political statements” and “only talks to the news media.”

I have always heard there were only former marines, never ex marines. I think murtha defies this rule.

I think tough guy Murtha should tell that to Gen. Petraeus when he’s in the same room. Let’s see what kind of man Murtha really is.

"...(He's) an embarrassment to the MARINE Corps. he disgraces my sons honor and every MARINE who's ever wore the uniform.

And the MSM loves the fact which, IMHO, it's the reason always being brought up.

“...........it really hurts to have one like him embarrass the Corps”.
Amen, Brother. Not only is he himself a “hack” but he is a disgrace to the Corps and to himself. The senile old fool should resign and return his pension from the Corps as well!

Ask murtha what is semper fi?

His answer: I dunno.

Murtha is a coward and a traitor. Orphan Annie could kick his a$$.

an obvious fact he never had to worry about, being the POS that he is.

What ever happened to honor? He sure has none now.

I think he lost that around (or before) the time he was caught haggling with the "sheiks" over bribe money.

I sure agree with that. I think he needs to be in a nursing home right next to Jimmy Carter... Either he is drinking too much & or he has signs of senile dementia IMHO.

MR. RUSSERT: What’s your response?

REP. MURTHA... We can go to Okinawa.

MR. RUSSERT: But it’d be tough to have a timely response from Okinawa.

REP. MURTHA: Well, it—you know, they—when I say Okinawa, I, I’m saying troops in Okinawa.

The late Louis Armstrong - my all-time favorite musician - had a recording out a long time ago entitled, "I'll Be Glad When You're Dead You Rascal You" which I like to hum to myself when any dimlib comes to mind ... especially Carter, Murtha, Boxer, Levin, Feingold, Kennedy, ad nauseum...

Perhaps Murtha wasn’t aware that Potraeus actually had meetings scheduled that the dems weren’t making any effort to attend. This guy used to be a marine...how can he be such a liar now? What ever happened to honor?

You need to be more understanding.

I’m not sure senility can explain Murtha’s flat out lies. It’s not like he’s just confused, he accuses marines of terrorism, he attacks the general who was put in place only months ago by unanimous vote...not a single dems claimed he was a political hack then. Now his plan to relocate the troops to nearby Guam might be the result of senility, but his dishonesty appears to be linked directly to a very black heart and twisted mind. He makes the Grinch look like a social worker.

It’s actually a video from back in 1932, based on a Betty Boop cartoon, with Satchmo and his group doing the music. Kind of a typical pre-WWII scat jive thing.
