Jack Murtha - The End

Man knoweth not his hour - Ol' Jack Murtha died from complications of his gall-bladder surgery. Pajamas Media sums up why nobody on the right respected him - corrupt, King of Pork, libelous, and so on.

But, to die from seemingly a routine surgery in the USA? This ain't Canada, nor are our US Docs employed by GB's NHS. True, death from the strain of surgery hits older people especially hard, but was there accidental neglect on the part of the surgeon?

Another oddity - I can't recall the few blogs on the right, which I read, as mentioning him as entering a hospital.

I feel sad for his family.

Update - The Pittsburgh-Post Gazette mentions

According to a source close to Mr. Murtha -- confirming a report in Politico --
doctors inadvertently cut Mr. Murtha's intestine during the laparoscopic
surgery, causing an infection.
