Brit Hume Smacks Down John Murtha

Fox News Sunday always features a round table discussion which often features Brit Hume smacking down resident liberal Juan Williams, but today Brit was in especially fine form in taking on John Murtha. Brit doesn't think much of him:

HUME: That sound bite from John Murtha suggests that it’s time a few things be said about him. Even the “Washington Post” noted he didn’t seem particularly well informed about what’s going on over there, to say the least. Look, this man has tremendous cachet among House Democrats, but he is not — this guy is long past the day when he had anything but the foggiest awareness of what the heck is going on in the world.

And that sound bite is naivete writ large, and the man is an absolute fountain of such talk, and the fact that he has ascended to the position he has in the eyes of the Democrats in the House and perhaps Democrats around the country tells you a lot about how much they know or care about what’s really going on over there.

You can see the video of the smackdown here at Hot Air. The Dems are letting Murtha drive the debate, and that's going to be a disaster for them if they listen to him, and a disaster for America if it listens to him.
