Ol’ Meanie
John Murtha is accumulating quite a reputation as being a hot head–maybe more so than Rep. David Obey. Maybe he’s always been this way in his thirty-odd years of service but now that the cameras seem to roll on him a little more we can see the real him. Recently, he’s blown up twice at fellow congressmen who’ve drawn his ire–first Rep. Todd Tihart and more recently at Rep. Mike Rogers, in an exchange that actually may trigger an ethics investigation.
If accusations of bullying (sometimes from more than twenty years ago) can sink John Bolton, why wouldn’t the same be true of Murtha? His tirades have even been documented on video. Term limits, anyone? May George Voinovich cry for him.
Sidenote: Somebody has defaced Murtha’s Wikipedia entry with some really adolescent profanities.
