    How the hell did I miss that?

    Wasn't he a sitting member of Congress too?

    Wow.

    I thought it would have been all over the news. And I completely missed it.

    It happened while most of the mid-Atlantic was being buried under the snow last week. Kinda lost in the noise.

    There was, IIRC, the usual debate about whether we should rejoice at one of the lesser liked denizens of D.C. having gotten term-limited the hard way Especially seeing as how that's the only way some of them are going to be leaving.

    It was just a bit piece - beside the snow, something else happened (just can't remember what; between post op and catching a damned cold I wasn't paying too much attention to the news).

    Of course being a democrat, he will still be able to vote.

    The thread is still around here somewhere. Since he was hospitalized for "complications" related to some kind of gut surgery, I'm hypothesizing it was fairly painful and unpleasant.

    I furthermore guessed that if Dante's layout of Hell is right, Murtha gets the 9th Circle while Teddy is relegated to only the 8th.
