I'm trying to see your point of view Mr. Maus but I can't shove my
head that far up my ass.

I think it is wise to objectively remember and learn from the mistakes
that each generation, each person makes. Every person makes good and
bad decisions and choices in his/her life. Murtha was one of these,
one among billions. To say he was an honorable Marine and an
occasionally dishonest politician in the same breath is truthful and
objective, and thus does not dishonor his memory. Both things are
worth remembering about the man, both provide important character
studies and lessons for those that follow, and neither should be
hidden nor forgotten.
