Bada Bling!

Quite an interesting debate brewing.  How similar is Jack Murtha to Tony Soprano?

Today Dana Milbank reports this from the Monica Goodling hearing:

Rep. Chris Cannon (Utah) opted to read into the record a lengthy editorial comparing Rep. Jack Murtha (D-Pa.) to Tony Soprano.

But yesterday’s Los Angeles Times editorialized this:

Actually, Tony Soprano is a less likely role model for Murtha than Lyndon B. Johnson, but that’s part of the problem for Pelosi.

How about this compromise.  Let’s rework that classic ’60s chant: “Hey,  hey LBJ, how many earmarks for mobbed-up New Jersey waste management projects did you fund today?”
