Today US Rep. John Murtha passed away today due to complications resulting from gallbladder surgery. The US House of Representatives and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania lost a great leader today. Rest in peace, Mr. Murtha.

RIP John Murtha

John Murtha, or Jack Murtha as he is nicknamed, was a great Congressman for Pennsylvania in a lot of ways, even if he was a bit controversial. He did ok a lot of spending, though he sought to get a fair share for his constituents (fair enough) and he was certainly one of the leading critics of the Iraq War. It is certainly a blow to the Democrat side of Congress to lose John Murtha. It's going to take a lot more than a few payday loans worth to get someone into office that will be his equal, and hopefully he can rest in peace.
