Murtha's ABSCAM video - snippet #7-"maybe I'll take G*d* $$"

In this snippet, Rep. Jack Murtha (D-PA) spins his refusal of a cash bribe as merely temporary, pending growth in his comfort-level with the scheme: "That's why I wanna do business this way and you know, after we've done business for a while maybe I'll take the God-damned money." Before he laid the groundwork for a "slow bleed" of U.S. troops in Iraq, Murtha agreed to do business with a fictitious Arab sheik whom Murtha thought was trying to bribe him. Murtha avoided prosecution for his role in the ABSCAM scandal by testifying against other Democrat Congressmen who'd taken the bribes. See more Murtha at http://jackmurtha.blogspot.com .

The pompous prick is not only planning his own involvement, but telling the undercover agent whom he should be dealing with and how. When the agent talks, Murtha even gets pissed at being interrupted. He turned snitch and got off. Look at what he has done politically since then. Pathetic.
