U.S. Rep. John Murtha is recovering in a Washington area hospital after being admitted last night for abdominal pains that was determined to be from a gallbladder problem, his office said.

"He is currently resting and doing well," said spokesman Matt Mazonkey.

Last week, doctors suspected Murtha was suffering from swine flu because he wasn't feeling well.

Murtha, 77, a Johnstown Democrat, is chairman of the powerful House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense. He was scheduled to lead an important debate on Capitol Hill this week. ...

Well, whether they can remove his gall bladder laparoscopically or not, one thing they cannot do is inadvertently remove his heart.

He hasn't had one of those since Abscam - maybe even earlier.

I was wondering what the chances are the surgeon left a sponge or 6 in there?  I hear perotinitis is a PITA, and too good for Murtha.

You'd think the corpulent old bastard would just melt in his own vileness, but apparently vileness isn't all that good of a solvent for fat.

Thank God for that Congressional medical care.

Let's pray that he dies. He's a disgrace to the Marine uniform that he once wore.

I won't cry or bring flowers if that happens. The good Lord is going to take care of his sorry ass.

I will, however, go out of my way to pay proper respects to him at the grave site.  :pisscontest:

This is something I feel strongly about. Murtha disgraced the Uniform. If I ever did that I'd get on my knees and beg foegiveness from the American People that I've sworn to protect.

I'm a Fanatic I'l give my life for this County.
