Is it entirely coincidence that two of the creepiest Americans – OJ Simpson and Cong. John Murtha – both have their legal problems headlined on Drudge today? Or is it, as Michael Moore would say, proof of the existence of God? It’s worth noting that both have had their brushes with the law before, OJ’s perhaps a bit better known than Murtha’s. But OJ, despicable a murderer as he is, could arguably be said to have suffered more than Murtha who has remained a member of Congress since his obvious culpability in the Abscam Scandal. It’s hard to imagine what’s going on in his Pennsylvania district that the citizenry continues to elect this criminal [Mass mental illness? Something in the water?-ed.] but with the advent of the Marine’s lawsuit, not to mention our current financial crisis, they may finally wake up. [Will the citizens of Connecticut wake up about Chris Dodd?-ed. We shall see.]
Now regarding the Marine’s lawsuit: The following exchange between Murtha and Wolf Blitzer has been cited as an example of the congressman’s violation of due process.
“There was an (improvised explosive device) attack, it killed one Marine, and then they overreacted and killed a number of civilians without anybody firing at them,” Murtha told Blitzer.
“That’s what you’re going to find out.”
As the story continues: At this point, though, seven of the eight servicemen charged in the incident have been cleared. They have been given honorable discharges, etc. It’s not amazing that a moral reprobate like Murtha would make accusations like this bassed entirely on hearsay and without an iota of proof. But what about the supposedly neutral Blitzer? Did he have anything to say in rejoinder? Will he now cover the lawsuit that, in essence, began on his own show? Want to take a bet?
