Proposal to Name Philadelphia Naval Shipyard after John Murtha

Isn’t “Crook & Liar” already in use?

Isn’t the Philadelphia Naval Yard full of decommissioned and mothballed ships awaiting scrapping or sinking?

If so, that might just be a decent idea to name it in honor of someone who the Navy (Marine Corps) might have wanted to scrap.

Actually turfmann, I’d like to see the marines at Quantico name one of their latrines after Murtha. Or maybe go even farther and post his pictures on the bottoms of the urinals and toilets.

@turfmann: there is a sad irony in your comment in some ways. However the publicly owned Naval Yard (to the tune of $396 mil per Global Security data) is to be modernized and plans to design and manufacture container and tanker ships using the world’s most advanced robotics and software technology.

I’m with Skye, here. There are others more worthy.. via their service to country… than Murtha, tho less well known, that should be considered for the namesake honor. Those that are also sons of Pennsylvania.

BTW. Even Gov Ridge or Mayor Rendell is a better alternative, as the inked agreement for the new commercial shipyard came as a result of their negotiations, and has nothing to do with Murtha… Unless, of course, it was some stealth pork we’re unaware of.

After months of intensive negotiations, on 21 October 1997 Pennsylvania Govenor Tom Ridge and Philadelphia Mayor Rendell signed an historic agreement with Kvaerner to to renovate and modernize the publicly owned yard. The shipyard project includes a public investment of $396 million in capital funding from federal, state and local sources. Public bodies will retain ownership in the yard and can recapture it should Kvaerner significantly reduce ship production.

@johngalt: ROTFLMAO!

Other than that, Skye… let us know what you think is a good plan of action, and let us know what we can do to help.

And thanks for the heads up.

A constipated Marine told his corpsman about his problem, the corpsman gave him some meds and put his hand on the Marine’s shoulder and said, “May the Murtha, be with you”.

Who would ever want to eat, “Murtha, on a shingle”?

I saw a bumper sticker, “Murtha Happens”

They say Murtha slides downhill or Murtha finds its own level.

Murtha Fire and save matches.

That’s all folks! May Murtha enjoy Hell!

How about an honorary title for a chicken rancher? A Murtha Flocker.

If Murtha would have been black, the Progressive Socialist Elites and the Soros Sycophants would be calling us Racists (capital R); yet since he was White, we just have no respect for the dead; thus, we are just ‘Pieces of Murtha’.

Tried to write to the congressman but his site only allows people from PA to write to him. I put in my Florida address with PA as the state and my Florida Zip code. He’ll probgably throw it out now.

@TheEnigma47: I go along with the dump idea, except that you throw trash IN a dump. Murtha throws it OUT.

Obama is a POM!

Just testing, and looking very good.
