#2 Gosh, as usual I thought one thing and typed another that should say; Anyone who does "business" with this swine ought to get kneecapped in an economic way.

You can't use much pork if you are run out of business.

#3 Wow! The mere fact that a member of congress can even have a ~~kickback~~ payback dinner annually is simply amazing.

Must be the magical power of having a 'D' after his name in the most ethical congress ever.

#4 Same reason that having a D after your affiliation is dispensation from racism, classism, sexism, and most of all 'responsibility' and growing up.

#6 Concurrent Technologies Corporation CTC with its headquarters in Johnstown, PA is one of the principal recipients of Murtha's largesse. In fact, I think upwards of 90% of their business comes through earmarks. Further, having had the misfortune to deal with them in the business world, I know first hand that their quality is schlock. If it were not for earmarks, they would be bankrupt within two years.
