Watchdog group frowns on Murtha
In routing the GOP in the November 7 elections, Democrats attacked what they called a Republican "culture of corruption."
Now a Washington watchdog group is questioning the party's sincerity and alleging that Murtha steered Pentagon contracts to businesses that hired his brother as a lobbyist.
"How can Americans believe that the Democrats will return integrity to the House when future Speaker Pelosi has endorsed an ethically challenged member for a leadership position?" Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, asked in a written statement. "Rep. Murtha is the wrong choice for this job."
Murtha told ABC in October that his brother "was treated like everybody else."
Murtha also turned up in the FBI's Abscam investigation in 1980, when undercover agents offered bribes to several members of Congress. Murtha was videotaped turning down a bribe "at this point," and he was not charged.
In a statement issued Tuesday, Murtha -- who just won an 18th term -- blasted critics who raised concerns about "unfounded allegations that occurred 26 years ago."
"I thought we were above this type of swift-boating attack," he said, referring to the largely refuted but widely publicized attacks on Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's military record in 2004. "This is not how we restore integrity and civility to the United States Congress."
