How sad for those who considered him a loved one.  Our government's gain is indeed his family's loss.

May he RIP.

+1.  My sympathies to his family in their loss, but I am not unhappy that the bastard is rotting in hell beside Dead Ted.

This may be somewhat callous, but does anybody know Pennsylvania's procedures for replacing congressmen?

I think a special election has to be called. Appointments are for Senators.

I don't think anyone will be claiming it's Murtha's seat since that did not work out too well the last time.

May God have mercy on his worthless soul.

RIP and bon voyage.  I'm not an 'Every man's death diminishes me' kind of guy, and won't put on an act in that regard now, but I hope his passing was painless and that his family finds comfort in him having lived a long and full life.

Considering how gerrymandered his district is, don't expect change on the level of Dead Ted's seat.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
