Democrats Continue to Bring Civility Back to Washington
John Murtha (D-Pa. who also happened to serve in Vietnam in case you didn’t know) went guano loco in the House, and now he may have to pay for it.
Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.) threatened to deny any further spending projects to a Republican who challenged him over an earmark last week, the GOP is charging — a potential violation of House rules that could cause a spike in partisan tensions.
Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), who questioned money that Murtha inserted into an intelligence bill last week, turned the tables Thursday night by saying he would call for Murtha to be reprimanded for violating House rules.
Rogers plans to insert a transcript of their exchange in the Congressional Record to document the potential violation. His resolution will also require a House vote to reprimand Murtha for his comments, according to a draft received by The Politico. Rogers is expected to file it on Monday.
Now normally, I’d pass on even commenting on this because Washington is a shithole full of crying babies and whining douchebags, but I find this particularly ironic because all we heard about was how the Democrats were going to bring back civility and blah blah blah.
Could be why their approval rating is so low…
