While I support Murtha's stance on pulling U.S. troops from the Iraq war, I think it would be a mistake to embrace Jack Murtha, given the above and the fact that CREW has identified him as one of the most ethically challenged Democrats.

Sorry, Lukery. It was late. I had just finished three long emails to, ahem, certain people . . .

Honestly, I only sleep because I have to.

Also, many thanks for the Lobbying for LM post.
