ABSCAM MURTHA SNAGS 23 MILLION

Remember when the Democrats took over congress -- promising they would end the "culture of corruption?" Well -- this jackass, Murtha, has forgotton. He snuck a $23 MILLION "earmark" into a piece of "legislation" and someone called him on it --- of course, as all Democrats do when they're busted, he went apeshit.

This shithook barely -- and I mean BARELY -- escaped an ABSCAM bust due to a technicality ... and he's still up there in Congress stealing my money. I can't fathom the stupidity necessary to keep voting for peeps like this ... or "mayor" Barry ... or that asshole congressman from New Orleans who was caught with $90,000 crisp in his freezer.

I can just see the cops now -- "Hey boss --- look -- we caught him -- $90,000 in his freezer too -- go ahead boss -- give him the 'what for' --- ha ha -- you're going to get it now, jackass -- hey boss -- aren't you going to do anything to him? -- no? -- but we -- oh fuck -- nevermind.

From Ace of Spades:
When Democrats took control of the House and Senate in January, they vowed to reform the practice of placing earmarks in spending bills. Members seeking earmarks would have to identify themselves and their intentions in time for staffers to review the items, leaders said.

House Democrats rejected a Republican bid Tuesday to reprimand Rep. John Murtha, a senior lawmaker accused of threatening legislative reprisals against a GOP member who had crossed him.

Murtha, known for his gruff manner and fondness of pork barrel projects, did not dispute claims that he charged across the House floor May 17 to confront Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich.

Rogers had tried unsuccessfully to strike a $23 million Murtha earmark - a targeted spending item - for a drug intelligence center in Murtha's district.

In a House speech Monday, Rogers said Murtha threatened him by saying, "you will not get any earmarks now and forever." Rogers, backed by House GOP leaders, said Murtha's threat violated congressional ethics rules.
