If I bothered to watch the political shows or listen to political radio anymore, I would be interested to hear what the right and left wing nut-jobs say about this highly respected Republican taking nearly the same position as Murtha did 18-24 months ago, resulting in the political hacks wondering when Murtha would “sober up” (Hannity).
