John Murtha, a U.S. Representative from Western Pennsylvania, is a war hero who conservatives don’t like because he doesn’t support all wars, namely the little trillion-dollar war (that was supposed to pay for itself) going on now. He’s also one of the kings of pork projects on Congress, and is one of the members who doesn’t want transparency.
And, also, he’s totally awesome because he curses at reporters:
“After a recent House vote, [Murtha] stopped for a moment in the lobby adjacent to the House floor, just steps from his corner, to take a question from a reporter about the difficulty of piecing together which members got how much money for which projects in his bill.”
“Murtha answered abruptly before walking away. ‘So, you have to work,’ he said. ‘Tough shit.’”
Ha! You can waste as much money as you want, Johnny, as long as you keep cursing at reporters. That shit is comedy gold.
