John Murtha, dead @ 77

Can we just let the topic RIP?

Being dead and being a patriot doesn't make one less of an asshole. But being an asshole doesn't make you less of a patriot, either. In either case, you can respect a man for having been a patriot. And generally, when someone has just died, it is not normally the time when one points out their 'assholeness', as opposed to their patriotism.

But whatever you think is right, man.

Well said.

Complications from Gall Bladder surgery...

Where are the Trial Lawyers?

I'll bet they would be hovering if this was someone poor who they could prey on the families of.

They wouldn't be preying on the families. They would be making money for the families and themselves if there was some actionable malpractice. You don't know how the legal system works.

Can we just let the topic RIP?

Since you used it as a soapbox to say stupid about lawyers, let me use it as a soapbox to say you're an idiot.

Now it can RIP.
