I'm glad you're feeling frisky, and I wouldn't want to wreck that, but if you had read the article, something I suspect you didn't actually do, you would have realized that "Democrats furious"--specifically Pelosi-- referred to being furious with Murtha for straying from the party line and contradicting the post-election Democratic position on the surge and his own position of a short time ago. I would have thought the list of quotes made that obvious.

The Democrats are trying to salvage their situation by saying they've been all about "political progress" the whole time, and Murtha screwed that up. He's tried to backtrack in later statements, but it isn't as easy to rewrite history as it used to be.
