HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - U.S. Rep. John Murtha, an influential critic of the Iraq War whose congressional career was shadowed by questions about his ethics, died Monday. He was 77.
The Pennsylvania Democrat had been suffering complications from gallbladder surgery. He died at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Va., spokesman Matthew Mazonkey said.

In 1974 Murtha, then an officer in the Marine Reserves, became the first Vietnam War combat veteran elected to Congress. One of Congress' most hawkish Democrats, he wielded considerable clout for two decades as the ranking Democrat on the House subcommittee that oversees Pentagon spending.

TweetYes, RIP Mr MUrtha, but he was a scumbag involved in a bribery scandal a few years ago. I dont know all the details, but he was offered a bribe and said "Not now, but maybe later" and they let him off ...typical scumbag politician...hope a GOP will take his place, but its PA, so who knows.

TweetSorry for his family for their loss.
How ironic he died in a government run hospital as a result of a medical error.
So much for Obamacare
