Murtha, a lawmaker since 1974 and a Vietnam veteran who received a Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts, said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" that he doesn't hold Schmidt responsible.
"This is a new member, and sometimes they give her something to say that ... they get out of hand. I try not to take this stuff personal," he said.
IMO, Murtha has permanantly redfined the definiton of "cool."
And heck, he doesn't even ride a motorcycle or play the guitar or wiggle his hips!
Murtha is 73 or 74, I seem to recall reading.
ReplyDeleteHe's a class act. Murtha also, rightfully so, hasn't commented (that I've seen) on Rush Limbaugh calling him a "useful idiot".
Paul Hackett already covered that awhile back, though, when Limbaugh was smearing Hackett's service: "...what do you expect from a fat-ass drug addict?"
Lurch,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure her family's looking forward to that. NOT!
Jeff,
Big talk, coming from a totally destructive idiot like Rush.
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
Murtha has the cool that comes from having been there and done that - both in the military and in the House.
ReplyDeleteI just wish more politicians would "play it cool" and address substance rather than play the personal attack card.
"We need to re-evaluate our plan."
"COWARD!!!!!"
"Seriously, our occupation is going very badly."
"ATHIEST!!!!!!"
"I'm simply stating the facts, this is the truth on the ground."
"COMMUNIST!!!!!"
etc...
