That's right, Murtha, you lowdown JACKASS -- keep taking money from the slip & fall lawyers like the rest of the libs. Now a REAL lawyer is coming for your big-assed-mouth. I hope you have to pay and pay and pay. Sure looks like good thinking on your part -- you know -- refusing to apologize for your idiotic and unpatriotic statements -- uh -- but of course, these libs ALWAYS SUPPORT THE TROOPS -- Right?
WAY TO SUPPORT THE TROOPS, INTERNAL ENEMY.
After a bit of reading, it seems he'll prolly claim "speech and debate" clause -- but that shouldna apply when "commiting a crime" (and, last I checked, defamation is a crime) ... but we shall see ... in the meantime, I just love it that he has to "deal with it."
