Congressman Murtha Dies - The Caucus Blog - NYTimes.com
Representative John P. Murtha, the longtime Democratic congressman from Pennsylvania, has died at age 77.
His aides released a statement saying that he died shortly after 1 p.m. today at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, a suburb of Washington, D.C. Mr. Murtha had been placed in intensive care last week after complications from gallbladder surgery, his staff said then.
Given that with Teddy Kennedy's passing the Demcoratic Party lost their US Senate majority to a Republican, am naming the coming electoral fight for this seat the SENATEPOCALYPSE.
It's not going to be pretty.
