LIVE blogging on Murtha Debate

Hey all,

We're live blogging at http://politicalcortex.com>...pardon the typos, but we'll try to get real-time transcripts and soundbits for those who don't have CSPAN or can't get it online.

Is this a great debate or what?

1. for those wondering about the comments

The fiery, emotional debate climaxed when Rep. Jean Schmidt, R-Ohio, the most junior member of the House, told of a phone call she received from a Marine colonel.

"He asked me to send Congress a message - stay the course. He also asked me to send Congressman Murtha a message - that cowards cut and run, Marines never do," Schmidt said.

Democrats booed and shouted her down - causing the House to come to a standstill.

Rep. Harold Ford, D-Tenn., charged across the chamber's center aisle screaming that it was an uncalled for personal attack. "You guys are pathetic. Pathetic," yelled Rep. Marty Meehan, D-Mass.

3. that's a redacted quote - She said the Marine thinks Murtha is a...

Coward - with a huge emphasis on "Coward" - that's when all hell broke lose on the floor - after things finally settled down, she withdrew those remarks - i guess she kept the rest in.

4. CBS showed the video clip of Schmidt and it's just as was posted

above.

I could tell she was passing on a statement by someone else. But, still, to even have the gall to read that piece of excrement...

5. I turned it on just st that point.

Sickening seeing Murtha being treated this way.UNBELEIVABLE that they have the audacity to say such things.

Cheny and Bush sit on their fatass's using their daddys money and names to hide so they don't have to go to war.If Murtha is a Coward what the hell does that make them!?????

the word "coward." Then she came back and said the comments were not in reference to Murtha. WTF?
