Congressman Murtha Hospitalized

19-term Pennsylvania Dem Rep. John Murtha is in intensive care in serious condition at this hour.

A spokesman for the lawmaker, who has served in Congress since 1974, said Murtha underwent an operation last week to remove his gallbladder, and the new hospitalization is related.

“Complications did arise from the surgery and he is currently at the Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington,” a suburb outside Washington, spokesman Matthew Mazonkey said.
