FOLLOW THE MURTHA MONEY
Via Glenn Reynolds:
“According to the report, Murtha has used $2 BILLION taxpayer dollars since 1992 to fund his wasteful pork projects. All the while, he received generous campaign contributions from his earmark recipients. ”
Mary Katharine Ham’s hilarious attempt to find the Center for Instrumented Critical Infrastructure in Johnstown, PA.
The point to take away about Murtha isn’t simply his piggishness but the arrogance he displays about it. That’s what got him in trouble in the Abscam tape, which CBS gloriously excerpts in the clip. Most lawmakers subject to a House censure vote for threatening a colleague on earmarks would show at least perfunctory contrition. He sits there during the roll on the House floor and laughs.
