Well at least he apologized for the remark and didn't pretend he didn't say it like Bachmann did.

I was a resident of Murtha's district for 25 years and can tell you the main reason he keeps getting reelected is that no one decent will run against him. He's more or less entrenched. Plus, as Sopal pointed out, he does bring home the pork, for what small amount of good it does in economically ravaged western Pa.

Yea, and that's part of the whole trouble, everybody keeps voting in their "guy" for bringing home the perks and it compounds the problem. A reason for term limits.
