ObamaFest

The Washington Post reports that this is a great time to be a relative of Pennsylvania Rep. Jack Murtha. 

Yet last year, Murtech received $4 million in Pentagon work, all of it without competition, for a variety of warehousing and engineering services. With its long corridor of sparsely occupied offices and an unmanned reception area, Murtech's most striking feature is its owner -- Robert C. Murtha Jr., 49. He is the nephew of  Rep. John P. Murtha, the Pennsylvania Democrat who has significant sway over the Defense Department's spending as chairman of the House Appropriations defense subcommittee.

The ObamaFest Team knows that Republicans will exploit the Democrats' tolerance for crooks like Murtha in next year's elections.  And they should.  Mr. Murtha has been saying, "Fuck You" to the American taxpayer for thirty years.  President Obama's agenda will rot from the inside unless Eric Holder and the Justice Department put Mr. Murtha where he belongs: in an orange jumpsuit.
