John Murtha is dead

Topics: Political News and commentaries
Breitbart has it that Rep. John "Marines killed Iraqis in cold blood" Murtha (D - Penn) has died at 77.

While anyone's passing is sad, especially for his family and friends, I'm not going to pretend I ever liked the guy and I admit to looking forward to his seat being filled by a Republican.
There is, however, a complication with that being accomplished because, as Ace points out, in order to win the seat a Republican will probably have to express a greater interest in earmarks than we'd generally be comfortable with. Indeed, Murtha's "little fiefdom basically ran on tax money siphoned off from the rest of the country."
