It is widely spread news that the National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) at Johnstown is more or less a slush fund for Jihad Jack Murtha's perpetual re-election to PA-12's U.S. congressional seat. A poster child for government waste and the consequences of the "earmark mentality," NDIC, and Murtha's connection to it, has been the
subject of continuing ethics violation investigations. Not only is Murtha so arrogant as to accept his connection to the pork-laden, waste-laden redundant bureaucratic bloat-ocracy,
he's proud of it:
Van Osdol: "Congressman, what about the National Drug Intelligence Center?"
Murtha: "You're from WTAE?"
Van Osdol: "Yes, sir."
Murtha: "Nice to see you."
Van Osdol: "What are you going to do to secure funding for that, sir?"
When Van Osdol tried to keep asking questions, one of Murtha's men tried to block the television camera.
Van Osdol: "Congressman, can you respond to the criticism that people say NDIC is just a pork barrel program?"
Murtha: "No comment. How's that?"
Van Osdol: "Why don't you want to talk about that program, sir?"
Murtha: "Just talk to them about it. Talk to NDIC."
Van Osdol: "We've talked to NDIC."
Murtha: "What did they tell you?"
Van Osdol: "They say you are the man who keeps it going."
Murtha: "That's right. You got that right."
Heh. Straight from the
horse's pig's mouth.
PA-12, there's a reason that politicians, like diapers, need to be changed.
