Washington, D.C. - Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) today named Representative John Murtha (D-Pa.) the May Porker of the Month for throwing a temper tantrum and threatening his colleagues over a challenge to a $23 million pet project in the Intelligence Authorization Act for fiscal year 2008.
Rep. Murtha became infuriated by Rep. Mike Rogers’ (R-Mich.) motion to challenge his earmark for the National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) in Johnstown, Pa. According to The Politico, Rep. Murtha, who is not on the Intelligence Committee but does chair the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, confronted Rep. Rogers on the floor of the House and threatened to remove both any of his earmark requests in the defense appropriations bill and any other earmark “now and forever.†Rep. Rogers responded, “This is not the way we do things here and is that supposed to make me afraid of you?†To which Rep. Murtha arrogantly replied, “That’s the way I do it!â€Meanwhile, Murtha's House accomplices were voting against a reprimand for the jowly, pig-eyed, unindicted Abscam co-conspirator's antics.
