Murtha's Inconvenient Fiction

 
Gateway Pundit notes more egregious behavior by the so-called "leadership" of today's Democratic Party, brought to you by George Soros™.

HotAir has the video:

On “Hardball” last night, John “Okinawa” Murtha bashed Gen. Petraeus, claiming he only came to Washington to “make political statements” and “only talks to the news media.”

Politically expedient sound-bites, to be sure, but not exactly aligned with the truth. Back in the "Riehl world", Dan Riehl relays the facts.

...All lawmakers were invited to the general's briefing, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi did not attend nor did Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., chairman of the committee responsible for defense appropriations... Pelosi's staff cited a scheduling conflict for her absence. However, she and Murtha spoke by phone with Petraeus for 30 minutes on Tuesday, which she said was sufficient...

Outrageous? Assuredly. Surprising? Not from this pathetic crew.
