I just had a chance to see the Steve Carell film Evan Almighty on DVD and I have to say that John Goodman does a masterful job of portraying Congressman Jack Murtha.
In other words, he plays a big, fat, corrupt, long-serving Congressman who manipulates newer members of the House into doing his bidding for his personal gain. If Hollywood ever needs to cast an actor for the role of John Murtha in a film, all it has to do is have John Goodman reprise his role in Evan Almighty.
