Help Save Murtha from Himself, so His "Racist", "Redneck" Constituents Will Re-Elect Him

It's self-parodying, really. Democrat Representative John Murtha is in a tight race, one made all the more difficult by his calling his constituents "racist". Fortunately he clarified, helpfully explaining that the district was - until recently - "really redneck". Now, shockingly, he's begging for $1 million for the remaining few days of the campaign to save his seat - one that would normally be easily maintained for a long-term incumbent in a very pro-Democrat year.

This would be an amusing story, if it didn't reflect the elitism all too typical of the Democratic party. It's not enough to disagree with one's political opponents, they have to be hicks, too. Fortunately, the Democrats haven't pushed for re-education centers yet (except for "sensitivity training"), but it's only October. January is coming.
