Democrats Distancing Themselves From Murtha

"A few months ago, the FBI raided the offices of the PMA group, founded by a Murtha aide, and one of the Pork King's favorite Lobbying firm. What they found out is that Murtha and his buddies at PMA Group operated their own little Earmark Factory. A recent report, the FBI may be zeroing in on the relationship between Murtha and PMA. But that hasn't slowed the Pork King down. He posted on his site a list of $134 Million Dollars of earmarks that he is requesting, $20 Million of it to clients of PMA, the very firm that is being investigated.

"This is making the Democrats a bit nervous. Among the defense projects being cut from the budget are many championed by Murtha."
