In this snippet, Rep. Jack Murtha (D-PA) insists that he's happy to help Middle Eastern emissaries separate themselves from their money, "Listen, I need the God-damned money like anybody else does, but this thing may be so sticky that I know it's gonna take a lotta God-damned work." 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 .
