ANN ALTHOUSE: "Did you watch Congressman John Murtha on 'Meet the Press' today?"

Military blogger Matthew Heidt at BlackFive did, and wasn't impressed by Murtha's holding out Clinton's treatment of Somalia as an example of successful wartime leadership.

UPDATE: Jeff Goldstein: "I'm afraid I don't speak Murtha."

Plus this: "Murtha is channeling Grandpa Simpson more every day."

There seems to be a sudden surge of enthusiasm for Murtha challenger Diana Irey.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Ian Schwartz has Murtha on video.

By way of contrast, here's video of Diana Irey.
