Earmarked for prosecution!...Mmmm

The white haired ex-marine with the bronze star and keeper of the United States Defense Appropriations stares into the abyss of ruin, and this is oh so yummy:

Murtha runs Capitol Hill's Lobby establishment with the same slick efficiency that Steve Wynn runs Las Vegas Hoteling. "Get Um Here...and then shake the money out of um" Wynn and Murtha have turned it into a science.... Good for Wynn, that’s his job, Murtha...Not so much.

This is the recipe used by the distinguished gentleman from Johnstown and here are the ingredients:

One cup survival instinct
With No Moral Compass
One Political Icon's Kid - aged and fat
With No care for the law
One Obscenely Corrupt former staffer turned Lobbyist
With an eye on the "Mark"
Olive Oil - Lots of it

First take the survival instinct and ensure there are absolutely no morals in there at all:

Lets elaborate a bit. Congressman John Murtha sat in a hotel room in 1980 and had a long and extensive talk with FBI agent Anthony Amoroso. Special Agent Amoroso, on cheap black and white video had a spectacular, back and fourth with the Congressman about how he could be handed $50,000 in order to facilitate government business in Johnstown, PA, his district (Watch Video). Murtha salivated, but wouldn’t jump on the bait, like any cunning predator he circled and alluded to "working something out later" but didn't take. Guilty - NO! Indictable - Absolutely! And once indicted, you are finished in the federal system. So Murtha, survivor that he is, cut a deal with the cops..."I will lie and cheat and roll over on any single person you want me to.... please don’t indict me! I only went to a meeting"...which is not against the law.

So Murtha was faced with this...
FBI MAN: - we name you an "Un-Indicted Coconspirator" and you, Mr. Murtha testify under oath against your friends and colleagues...regardless if you know their actions.
Murtha: - "Where do I sign?"
And out went the morality of Jack Murtha.

Telling every one "I am a war hero, I got the Bronze Star” that may have been the first and more obscene lie...Bronze Star with NO "V" Device is like a good conduct medal given out with the rations. A Navy Man took his life for wearing the "V" when he didn't earn it, Murtha wears the "V" less Star like the great Senator Inouye wears one less arm, like a hero. Thing is Danny is one and Jack is an echelon officer who tidied up the supply tent and the General gave him a shiny medal to show off when he got home...Hero?

Murtha testified against his colleagues...he tells the Federal Prosecutor on the witness stand, under oath, that he knew some one took money who didn't. He lied to save his political life and it worked. His colleague Congressman John Murphy from New York, who went to a meeting as all 434 other members do on a daily basis to facilitate business in their district, was faced with the dolt, Anthony Amoroso, Federal Agent - Murphy's Response "NO" and he exited. Special Agent Amoroso freaked out! (You have to see the expletive filled tantrum Amoroso throws at his rejection...it is brilliant!) But Murphy was damned to political hell. Murphy wouldn’t play ball with the prosecutors, and he went down. Acquitted of taking money..., which he didn't...conspiracy...the vague one, gets you every time.

Murtha tied the weights to him and shoved him overboard. Murphy to this day maintains his innocence. As others seek pardons, and agree to tacit guilt, Murphy said, " My office and I...am not for sale, I have no further Comment"

Murphy has a "V"... on his multiple Bronze Stars, and a Distinguished Service Cross, which means he bleeds "V", and a Purple Heart, for the shrapnel left in his face. He lives by Duty, Honor, and Country...Regardless of the past, a hero, shammed by Murtha.

Ensuring now there is no Morality in the Recepie, we need the Political Icon's Kid.

Susan O'Neill, daughter of the great "Tip" and the biggest fundraiser for Congressman Jack Murtha, has been up to no good.

The way it goes with the Murtha People is simple...Pay up and get a meeting...pay some more and get a response.... pay some more and get an answer...may not be the one you are looking for but its a years long process.

Ritz Carlton Crystal City, O’Neil throws the evening bash, $1,000 per person, at least 500 shows up and $500,000 goes into Murtha's campaign coffers. The young Senator from Pennsylvania is there, at his own table, every member of the democratic Pennsylvania Delegation is there, at their own tables paying homage to Murtha. The money usually goes to his wife’s breast cancer research center, and some funnels to the members.

At table 1 there is Murtha, talking with every single lobbyist, Grumman's CEO, Lockheed’s CEO, every little guy, every big firm that wants a dollar is there...and they know if they are there then the next day they are getting a meeting with the Legislative Assistant in charge of Defense Appropriations. (The Assistants are usually plowed at the bar).

Susan "O" takes home about 25% of the door, and can't do it clean like...she has a good thing going - but is now faking checks and donors just to make a couple extra bucks. Her dad said it once - "If you tell the truth the first time you never need to remember what you said the last time you met some one". What about the checks Susan, what do you tell them? Tip should have spent more time at home teaching the kids.

The part that makes this white wine reduction sauce so tasty is the obscenely corrupt lobbyist, talk about flavor...mum.

Paul Mags, gotta love him. If you had to cast him in a movie, you'd go to Tony Bennet and say, could you please be gangster.

PMA - Paul Magliochetta and Associates is the number one funder of Murtha froth. Mags allegedly pays guys to drive Murtha to and from Johnstown, to chauffer the old man around, to take his wife to the store, every little deed is done by Mag's Men.

Smaller things tripped up Daschle lately, but no Washington Post Insider followed the white haired Murtha Back to Johnstown, in a white Buick with a Mag Man driving the car, WTF.

Mags made it a family affair...if you call girlfriends family, you better get hitched, because souses dont have to testify against each other Paul.... Girlfriends that make no money materialize $9600 per election, Kids that have no jobs - $9600, I can't pay my college loans and I make 6 figures and these interns and secretaries are shelling out $9600 each, that’s like $18,000 pre tax dollars...is selling crack to pay Murtha and O'Neill leagal?

Mix all this together, and you have the makings for a Michelin rated feast! Poached Congressional Canary, covered in a White haired Wine Reduction sauce with a side of Lobbyist arrugala salad.

This is going to play out beautifully...Hey Jack...Danbury is nice...Allenwood is better...Mags is going to retire to Florida on your crystal ship in a bottle, and Susan, you're just out! - Nothing could be worse for the three and nothing better for the American public!
