Just heard myself. Was getting ready to post on this but you beat me to it. Sad indeed. Although I didn't particularly like him because he was corrupt, it is not good when you see this kind of stuff happen.

Default John Murtha Dies, 77

Wow. Article pending.

I know a lot don't like his record, but still: a death is a death.

Congressman John Murtha Passes Away at Age 77


WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Congressman John P. Murtha (PA-12) passed away peacefully this afternoon at 1:18 p.m. at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, VA. At his bedside was his family.

Murtha, 77, was Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense.

First elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in February of 1974, Murtha dedicated his life to serving his country both in the military and in the halls of Congress. A former Marine, he became the first Vietnam War combat Veteran elected to the U.S. Congress.

This past Saturday, February 6, 2010, Murtha became Pennsylvania's longest serving Member of Congress.

A complete biography is available on his website.

When someone dies, it's time to pay tribute. Rest in peace and may your family find peace also.

He was a piece of garbage and I hope he rests in a landfill.
Yeah it is rude but I had the same problem with Ted K. . I know his history but we should try and control the rude comments . He has died and will no longer be commenting

I'd point out he was in the Marines and earned a Bronze Star for gallantry in combat, two Purple Hearts (in two tours in Vietnam), and retired from the Corps a full Colonel. You may not have liked what he had to say about Haditha but he more than earned the right. You also didn't have to comment.

RIP John Murtha and thanks for your service.

That is the same kind of garbage (not you) I saw when Rush was hospitalized.

And people wonder why half the threads are closed here for flaimbaiting. Some can't even be civil when others take their last breaths. Makes me sick.

John Murtha [comment edited by author due to extreme rudeness], it's difficult to lose a family member and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
