George - Despite the fact that he's a Vietnam Vet, he was a mega HP but this is not the thread for it.

I despise him but RIP.

Well, you're right, Mike.  I'll save more for another time.

How is gunning down civilians as was done in Haditha anything other than murder?

RIP.

Because we have a culture that doesn't want to think that people serving in the military are anything other than saints(which anyone who has been in the military or spent lots of time around people in the military, especially Marines, knows is insane).

Honestly aside from Murtha's crusading against the war, I know little about him otherwise. Would our Pennsylvanian forumites like to enlighten me as to what was so bad about him?

I'll leave that to Chris, since he seems to feel the same way I do.

To an earlier question, Bugsy Rendell has to order a special election and give 60 days notice.  If he does it during the May primaries he'll save money for the state, but he said he hasn't decided (like we have money to burn)

How long can Rendell legally stall giving notice of the election? I am sure that the Dems will find this election an annoyance and an inconvenience. Who gave Murtha permission to die at this most inconvenient time?  What an incorrigible bastard he was! 

Torie, our primary is May 18, so clearly he has the leeway to let it go until March 16 or so.......but I don't know the statute well.

I get ripped for being an ass, but within 24 hours pundits are already worried about PA-12 falling to a Republican?

Save your criticisms.

Are you getting sensitive in your old age Grumps?   By the way, it must be awful living in a state where pot is not effectively legal. Anyway, that might help you some.

OMG Torie I'm so far from sensitive it's unreal.  Look I realize the day he died probably isn't the best to be blasting the guy, but the vultures in both parties were circling before his last breath, and I'm the bad guy???    Pass the pipe bro

Yeah, but we expect that sort of behavior from lowlife like pundits (lol).

Ha ha, if Torie wasn't bogarting that reefer I might have waited a while
