Murtha looses leadership bid

John Murtha looses his bid to become the House whip (2nd in command) to the new Democratic Speaker. Murtha is famous for being an ex-marine who wants to cut and run from Iraq. One reason he lost was probably because Nancy Pelosi promised the Democrats would be "the most honest Congress in history"... And then endorsed Murtha, who narrowly avoided being indicted by the FBI during ABSCAM, after being videotaped telling a rich sheik who offered a bribe, "I can't accept that (money) at this time".
