Will Issa ever act?

Posted on January 28, 2014 | 3 comments

“Are [California Republican Rep.] Darrell Issa’s numerous investigations intended to actually accomplish anything in the way of bringing this [gangster] government to heel, or are they intended merely to provide subject matter for his election brochures?”

So far he’s just Deadwood on the Potomac. No more than a font of snappy opposition quotes. No wonder the Republicans lose so many elections.

Via Ed Driscoll.

UPDATE: He does make demands. He just doesn’t back them up by using his committee’s power of issuing subpoenas to publicly humiliate the perp.

MORE:  Issa’s finally moving. He’s recalling the IRS’s 5th Amendment Queen Lois Lerner back to testify on March 5.

Carney is a paid liar

I’ve got to hand it to Republican Darrell Issa, he doesn’t mince words when referring to Wormtongue’s chief flack and bottle washer as a liar for hire. The fact that he was talking to CNN’s (increasingly) Fat Candy at the time may have had something to do with it. Her own Democrat liar-for-hire status is well known.

Nevertheless, White House spokesmen of both parties have been lauded in song and story, well, the Hollyweird fantasy The West Wing, anyhow, when the, uh, truth is that they aren’t really anything more than shills for the prez and his cronies.

My own pater familias was a government PR man by trade for most of his life and, while he never actually admitted lying for his bosses, he often justified the lies government tells as sometimes being necessary. Uh huh. And that’s why we trust ’em so much. Because we can’t.

UPDATE:  Choom Boom! Shooting at Issa can be counter-productive with the leader of the Choom Gang as a client, eh Plouffe?
