More slippery than snot on a snake.
Contributed by George Mellinger

Thanks to the diligent efforts of conservative media and blogs in January and February of this year, many readers now know or remember that Congressman Murtha was an unindicted co-conspirator in the "Abscam" investigation of the late 1970s and 1980. (I wondered where the mainstream media's outrage was over Murtha's murky lobbyist relationships, besides the L.A. Times's lone, forgotten piece on the subject.)

David Holman at The American Spectator gvies us the rest of the story. It won't much increase your respect for Jittery Jack Murtha. (later to become Jihadi Jack, the Mendacious Muj of the Monongahela).

Remember, Abscam was busted by the FBI even before they came under the Reagan administration, so you can't blame it on Karl Rove.
