Battle of the -ons

By Michael J. Smith on Tuesday November 14, 2006 02:40 PM

So is it too crass and oversimplified to say that Murtha vs. Hoyer pits the Pentagon against Zion?

Since I personally have little use for either -on, I don't think I have a dog in this fight. Other thoughts, anyone?

Well, the pentagon likes having our military but not necessarily using it.

http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/001993.php has an unpretty account of the Abscam/Murtha backstory.

And Murtha says ethics and lobbying reform is "total crap (but it's good! if Nancy says so)": http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/001995.php

Note also that comments with three or more links may be held for "moderation" -- a strange term to apply to the ghost in this blog's machine. Seems to be a hard-coded limitation of the blog software, unfortunately.
