As I stated in the eulogy for Ted “Hiccup” Kennedy, I hope that John found salvation before he died. But just as with Ted, I kind of doubt it.
REAL Marines have a special place in God’s heart, so there probably aren’t any of them in Hell with John Murtha right now. But, I’m sure there are plenty of tortured souls down there waiting for their turn to water board John. Perhaps Murtha and Kennedy are sharing vodka martinis between their water boarding sessions.
What sounds do you think John will hear for eternity? Will it be the sounds of the reports saying that ALL OF THE HADITHA MARINES WERE ACQUITED? Or will it be the voices of all REAL Marines disowning John Murtha?
For someone who once at least claimed to be an honorable person in the form of a United States Marine, the fall from grace was a long one. His corruption has been documented over many decades. One of the earlier was his involvement in the ABSCAM affair (Murtha – Abscam: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwjkQTNPDAg).
Murtha was known as the “King of Pork” in Washington circles. That’s no small feat.

Perhaps Murtha’s “finest” moment, and the one for which he is likely to be forever remembered, will be his desperate lunge for the microphone to seize the opportunity to attack George W. Bush by accusing Marines of atrocities without knowing any of the facts.

Of course, when the Haditha Marines were EXONERATED, Mr. Murtha seemed to develop an allergy to microphones and cameras.

Of course, the coward John Murtha should have apologized when he was proven 100% completely wrong for besmirching and defaming these Marines. But sadly, he no longer has the chance to do it.
So, in a final farewell to John Murtha, I play for you some thoughts of another commentator on the internet on the passing of the Cowardly King of Pork.
Hell’s kind of warm this time of year. Hope you brought plenty of sun screen, John. RIP.
