[ ] Pa. Congressman Patrick Murphy, D-8, seemingly locks in the blue-collar, team name-spelling vote for LIFE by becoming the only member of the House not to endorse a resolution congratulating the New York Giants on winning this year’s Super Bowl.
From the Courier Times story:
“As a former 700-level security guard and lifelong Eagles fan, I couldn’t, in good conscience, vote for the New York Giants,” Murphy said Thursday. “The only thing worse would have been a resolution honoring the Dallas Cowboys.”
Oh snap! Murphy, Ed Rendell and Arlen Specter are somewhere right now painting their chests midnight green.
