Godspeed and good riddance.
John Murtha dies at 77
Rep. John Murtha, one of the most powerful members of the House, who served four decades representing western Pennsylvania, has died at 77.
Murtha was the longest serving member of the Pennsylvania delegation – a milestone he passed just this past Saturday. He had been hospitalized in recent weeks with a gallbladder infection, and died Monday afternoon at Virginia Hospital Center at 1:18 p.m., his office said in a statement.
Murtha was Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, and from that perch, he controlled billions in Pentagon spending, and was one of the most respected voices on military policy. Murtha was well liked on both sides of the aisle, often holding court in the back of the House chamber in what was known as “Murtha’s Corner.”
Murtha was the first Vietnam War combat veteran elected to Congress, in 1974.

Good riddance you worhtless piece of crap!!!! Say hi to your equally worthless piece of crap buddy Teddy(hicup!) Kennedy. I hope you both burn in hell!
No worries 1sg!
I’m sorry Murtha died that way and it was at my local hospital that we go to. It’s one of the best hospitals in the region. My mom is about to undergo gallbladder surgery so I hope she doesn’t have the complications he had.
Your mom’s gonna be fine Ron! You know about the mind/body/soul connection to health, yes?
One is ultimately responsible for what happens to one….
Hey Grail…What’s that old saying?…..Oh yeah… the good they do die young!
It must have been a Republican surgeon! Way to go!
The “Grim Reaper” has been sharpening his scythe lately, that’s for sure.
I wonder what kind of health care he had?
Without Murtha, Dems now one vote shore of passing Obama Care in House
