Proof was all over Travelgate in the reader blogs.  Nancy Pelosi basically wants to spend $600,000 to fly from DC to California probably every weekend with a sixteen member staff.  Now comes another interesting twist. 

I thought the Democrats were supposed to clean this up?

Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., the Pelosi ally who chairs the House military appropriations subcommittee, said he has spoken to Pentagon officials about the need to provide Pelosi with a bigger plane that can fly passengers coast to coast in comfort.
But he denied pressuring the Pentagon. “I don’t need to pressure them. I just tell them what they need to do,’’ Murtha said.

[…]

Murtha said he is convinced the Pentagon has been leaking information about the possibility that Pelosi would use large military planes to make her look bad. But he said, “They’re making a mistake when they leak it because she decides on allocations for them,’’ referring to the Pentagon budget.

Apparently, Murtha is willing to play games with the budget of the Pentagon.  That would be great… US soldiers die because Pelosi decided that the Pentagon should receive less money because she didn’t get an open bar on her trips back to California. 

The swamp isn’t draining… it’s starting to spill over.
