Pelosi, 66

I didn't know they were both that old.

Hey, 73 is the new 53.
btw 73 is how old McCain would be on his inaugration, if he wins.

and if he lasts that long.

In September 2006 the left-leaning Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) listed Murtha under Honorable Mention in its 20 Most Corrupt Members of Congress (one of only four Democrats listed on the site). The report cited Murtha's steering of defense appropriations to KSA Consulting, which employed his brother Robert, and the PMA Group, founded by Paul Magliocchetti, a former Murtha senior aide

Thanks to Wikipedia for the above.

And Genx87 above touches on the Abscam investigation.

You dems are too funny.

There are some who only see the anti-war stance and not his record as a whole. You will always see it in politics. The "your guy is crooked, but mine is ok" even if they essentially do the same thing. You had it just before the election. You would have right-wing blogs attacking Harry Reid for his real estate deal, yet would defend Hastert's leadership -- even though Hastert also made millions from a crooked real estate deal. You saw it then and you see it now with Murtha. Luckily, he didn't win, so it doesn't really matter.

I agree, both sides of the aisle are equally corrupt.
