Murtha has shown over the years that he has a chronic case of foot-in-mouth disease.

But, obviously, his constituants don't care. 17 terms......lordy mercy, Congress needs term limits.

Have you ever been to Westle-vania though? This is pretty much spot on in my experience. Outside of the 'burgh that is.

although we have quite a bit in the east too:

Westle-vania HA!! I love it! I spent alot of time there in Westle-vania, and I must agree with you. There's a whole buncha low IQ natives. Any many own guns (they hunt up there) They grow a mean garden. But the population is very mixed, and does tend to be on the segregated side. I didn't read the whole article, but I can also agree with term limits on Congress with out that info. But... Westle- vania.... LMAO I'm gonna star you just for that!!

Well, also I wouldn't exactly say they are 'racist' so much as 'provincial'. Distrustful of outsiders. I am a life-long Pennsylvanian, by the way, but from the east. Now I live right in the center so I get the best of both worlds.

Don't forget, Westlevania also gave the world Rick Santorum. And if it sounds like I'm saying that like its a disease, that's because he pretty much was.
