#1 Eeew... eulogized by a virtual witch.
That's not a pleasant exit.

#2 I can't think of which is more discusting. Nancy Pelosi eulogizing John Murtha or John Murtha being eulogized. Couldn't they just close the casket, roll him into the hearse and put him in the ground without so much hypocrocy? I hope they checked his pockets and checkbook first.

#3 I would have preferred he be humilated at the polls and live a long, obscure life therafter - sort of like Carter - so he could be reminded how little he really mattered.

But I'll take this exit, and find it somehow fitting that the Flake From Frisco sent him on his way.

#4 Why don't sharks eat lawyers?

File under professional courtesy.

#5 Murtha served his country well as a young man. And by all accounts was a good family man. That's all I would say for his eulogy.

#6 Marti - as the old quip goes, he (murtha) was so crooked, they could have just screwed him into the ground...

#7 Murtha served his country well as a young man. And by all accounts was a good family man

and then note that he lived a lot longer, and screwed a lot more people than just his wife

#8 Pelosi and Murtha are chums from way back. When Dems won control of the House, Pelosi selected Murtha to be Majority Whip. But that was too much for even the Democrats and they rebelled and elected Steny Hoyer. It was a big humiliation for both at the time.

#9 Eulogy: Murtha is now carbon neutral.

#10 Was he cremated? Otherwise I'd bet the normal processes will continue to release carbon.

#11 But did she pass out pork rinds?
