UPDATE 10/17/08: blowhard cancels the debate scheduled last night with his gop challenger Bill Russell. why wouldn’t he? especially after the garbage he spewed in the last few days. here’s hoping his district, you know those ‘racists in western pa’ take note of his cut and run lifestyle and throw his sorry arse out.

UPDATE: so it hasn’t been but 12 hours and murtha apologizes for making the comment that western PA is racist. so he’s sorry for the comment but does he still believe it? you betcha, as sarah would say.

why is john murtha still in office?

as if calling marines murderers isn’t enough, he said this about his own constituents. just one more reason to support the Russell Brigade and vote for murtha’s opponent, Lt. Col. Bill Russell (Ret.).
