Why did I read the news? ***UPDATE***
Gateway Pundit, quickly becoming the best political blog on the net, reports some very bad news for the Jack Murtha defense squad:� Murtha is a liar, according to the United States Marine Corps.�
I had class, tonight, after an arduous day at work.� I had every intention of going to bed early.� I just wanted to check the news of the day.� I was too busy even to listen to the radio news.
� I saw the story on CNN.com that I’d read briefly about on Michelle Malkin’s blog last night.� A Marine staff seargent is suing pro-terrorist Congressman Jack Murtha for libel.� (Jack Murtha could have served his country better by succumbing to wounds on the battlefield in Vietnam.)
Murtha said on CNN May 19: “There was an IED attack, it killed one Marine, and then they overreacted and killed a number of civilians without anybody firing at them.”
That’s just one, tiny, rather innocuous example of Murtha’s two year record of slamming American troops.� But that ugly old sonofabitch had the shrivled balls to release a statement defending himself.
In a response to the lawsuit, Murtha said in a written statement “I don’t blame the staff sergeant for lashing out. When I spoke up about Haditha, my intention was to draw attention to the horrendous pressure put on our troops in Iraq and to the cover-up of the incident.”
My ass, you stupid bastard!� Do you think all of us are as stupid as the people who vote for you?� � There’s a reason why the party map of� U.S. counties is 90% red.�
But there’s more.� Thanks to PartisanTimes.com, we have this brilliant Murtha quote:
When the taxi comes up, there’s four or five people in it. And they shoot; shoot those four or five people, unarmed. And then they go on a rampage throughout the houses and kill people. One woman . . . was bending over a child pleading for mercy and they shot her in cold blood. . . .� And then in addition to that . . . there has to have been a cover-up of this thing.
I hope this Marine wins his suit and wins it big.� It’s too bad Murtha’s thousands of libelous lies from the House floor can’t be used against him.� I guess Murtha wants to make sure that today’s military veterans get the same shabby treatment his generation received.� Too bad a man his age hasn’t grown up.� And worse, a man of his petulant immaturity gets elected to the House of Representatives.
Now, go read “Semper I” on Old War Dogs.� It’s the best commentary I’ve seen on this story.
