Sometimes, not even a million dollars can fix the damage a big mouth causes.
Veteran Democratic Rep. John Murtha (Pa.) has sent out a last-minute plea for $1 million to save his hotly contested seat, endangered by his own remarks describing his district as racist.
In an e-mail sent to potential donors, Murtha’s campaign asked his supporters to maximize all campaign contributions.
“We need to raise another $1 million to compete,” his campaign fundraiser Susan O’Neill wrote in the e-mail obtained by The Hill. “We need money immediately.”
It’s one thing when you falsely accuse a political opponent or smear Marines during a time of war. The people, as a whole, take false accusations against them more seriously.
All the money in the world may not dig John Murtha out of the hole his mouth put him in.
Well, the Big O promised to help Shrillary out, but to date, no check has been forthcoming…
Henry, didn’t someone else get bitchslapped by the Big O when he asked if he could maybe have a little of that fat bankroll?
Oh he’ll become a highly paid lobbyist. I have no doubt.
Nerd,
I’m sure they’d tag him as a “nonpartisan” political expert.
or he could become a lobbyist.
swampy –
I’m sure Murtha can find work at MSNBC as a ‘political expert’
What do old pols do when they get booted out of office by the electorate? Do they become community organizers?
Henry –
great comment.
Maybe Obamessiah can give him some of his $600,000,000. After all, when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everyone.
