Has Murtha Ever Been Ethical?

How far can you throw a house? That's what I thought.

House Republicans angled Tuesday to put Democrats in a no-win position: reprimand a senior colleagues or be seen as blindly excusing legislative bullying for partisan reasons.

House leaders tentatively scheduled a late Tuesday vote on a Republican move to reprimand Rep. John Murtha, a Pennsylvania Democrat and close ally of House Speaker Hancy Pelosi, D-Calif. The GOP accuses Murtha of making a blatant threat against a Republican who challenged a pet project that Murtha wanted.

I'm not saying it doesn't need to be done, but when it comes to ethics, reprimanding Murtha is going to have the same effect as as holding your breath for 3 minutes. Sure, you might turn purple for a moment or two, but then it's back to business as usual.
