Is President Bush's worst nightmare having to deal with Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) as House Majority Leader?

Currently, John Murtha has House Speaker-in-waiting Nancy Pelosi's support for the position. Do you think it is A GOOD THING, as Martha Stewart might say, that Bush may have no choice but to be civil to John Murtha as House Majority Leader?

    Murtha has been a strong voice in Congress for many years. His experience will benefit our nation.

    He does have one big black streak upon him. Remember Abscam? He told the agents he wouldn't accept their bribe, "at this time". It is something he will never be able to live down. Many watchdog groups are crying foul over his possible leadership position.

    Naw Murtha is not Bushes worst nightmare.. I am wondering why pelosi wants him though since she is saying she doesn't want the guys out of Iraq immediately and Murtha wants them home now!

    Not even close that Murtha is W's worst nightmare. (and to the goofs who insulted a combat veteran - well you won't be able to understand this anyway). W's nightmare is realizing that he is going to go down in history as a president of strong convictions and negligible competency to build a team and carry forward those convictions. Then again, he's only done about three things well in his life, and two of those were marrying Laura and listening to Karl Rove.

    I hope whoever the house majority leader is, that they let bush know from the start that he isn't in charge any more, and if he disagrees he can talk to a real 9-11 investigation this time.

    How come people seem to think that because President Bush isn't a "smooth talker" that he isn't civil? He was to the Democrats who ruled Congress when he first took office in 2001. Why change?

    Murtha is a traitor and one of the more corrupt members of the overrated congress. It is fitting he is a democrat. No other party would want this fat hog. Move him to Iran where he belongs.

    I believe Rep. Hoyer would have been the right man for the job,but i guess he gets along to well with the Republicans,for Pelosi's liken.
