Congressman Owens Harangues Rep Murtha Over Brooklyn VisitOn WNYC's Brian Lehrer Show this morning, Rep John Murtha confirmed his endorsement of Council Member Yvette Clarke for Brooklyn's 11th Congressional District, and withstood a surprise attack [via phone] from his colleague, Rep Major Owens. Owens took issue with Murtha's unannounced visit to his district - calling it a "breach in protocol" - and questioned whether Murtha's co-conspirator Rep Anthony Weiner even held a similar position [to Murtha, Clarke and Chris Owens] on the Iraq War. Murtha defended Weiner who had signed on to Murtha's troop redeployment resolution. Update: Weiner's office further clarifies the point:

Congressman Owens Harangues
I am glad that Rep. Murtha is getting press for his message concerning the withdrawal of troops even if it gets greater exposure because of the local political aspects. Since Major Owens started this campaign season by calling Councilman Yassky a colonialist, and has lined up his Congressional pals to endorse his son, I am not moved to cry over his hurt feelings.

Its amazing! Congressman Rip Van Winkle suddenly wakes up. This man who has done little during his largely uneventful tenure of Brooklyn's 11CD suddenly decides to attack Congressman John Murtha for breach of protocol. What protocol? because Murtha has endorsed Yvette Clarke over Minor Owens? Major must know that this is campaign season and the Clarke Campaign has every right (and her endorsers) to invite who it thinks can help in getting her elected. Nobody complained when "Mini-Me" Owens got the endorsements of some high-profile colleagues of the sleep-walking Congressman. Major is leaving office so what protocol is he talking about? This is a pure senior moment. But that's to be expected since Minor Owens' campaign has flat-lined and by September 12th it will be pronounded DOA. I Think the black community should not support Black Pearl Car Service. Recently I had a bad experience with a dispatcher at Black Pearl. I left my mp3 Player in a Black Pearl cab. Yes, i know I made a mistake. But don't swear at me! The dispatcher was giving me negative feedback "I wasn't here therefore it is not my responsibility. We have no record. Excuse me aren't you recording the passengers and their destinations when you pick the up? If a person leaves a personal item in one of your vehicles. Do you not report it, or is it finders keepers? I am highly upset with the lack of professionalism with this compant=y that I supported for years! I need an explanation about the New Black Pearl and their present policies!!!
Okay, I had no idea that Rep John Murtha confirmed his endorsement of Council Member Yvette Clarke for Brooklyn's 11th Congressional District, so this fact along with the fact that my old grilling pan that is made of aluminum couldn't be replaced with a griddler in order to grill pork chops and meat, these facts I discovered through the internet and personal experience.
It is interesting to observe this storm in the political tea pot of "Congressman Owens Harangues Rep. Murtha over Brooklyn visit," and Murtha's defence of Weiner who had signed on to Murtha's troop redeployment resolution. Thanks. Laguna Beach Homes
