The most “well-known shortcoming” of Jack Murtha is that he’s a moron. And I’m serious. The man is an incoherent boob. I think this was critical to his rejection, and not his ethical deficiencies.

He spent years since ABSCAM growing fatter in the Whorehouse of Reps without the slightest objection. But crooked is one thing, daily public stupidity is another.
