#1 That nearly inaudible sound you hear is some obambi lovin' MSM reporter's ass comin' up outta his / her newsroom chair. The smell of blood in the water will not be denied.

"I, I know this is wrong, but I, I just can't help myself..." the poor boy (or girl) is murmuring.

#3 The obvious key here is whether or not there was quid pro quo. Seems like a whole lot of campaign contributions going on, thus creating at least the appearance of impropriety.

That said, working to address an unfunded defense requirement via the earmark process is not a crime. Some very important products have been developed in this manner, products that went on to become regular programs funded via the normal Pentagon budget.

But Murtha is a pig and I hope he goes to the big house for this.

A little subliminal shift to help protect the Democratic party.
