And when he gets caught with his pants down, which he always does, he just moves on to the next big lie. You gotta admire that. Sort of.

No lies by Issa, the articles are misleading and biased. Everything he said about the IRS scandal was true. The IRS had other "buzzwords" on the BLO list, trouble is NONE of the buzzword hits on those organizations had to undergo detailed scrutiny like the conservative groups did and none of them had the tax exempt status denied. Check your facts first.

And Carney is a BIG paid liar, anybody with a brain can see that.

All admin spokesters spin furiously. It's a big part of the job.

Issa strikes me as a guy trying really hard to be an important person. He cried like a little girl when he lost out to Ahnold in the Cal gubernatorial recall election years ago.

Rep Darrell Issa sobs after Scharwenegger bigfoots him out of 2003 gov recall - YouTube

Starts at about 1:28. Real time went on for 15-20 minutes IIRC.

He knows he will be a hero to the right if he brings down Obama. It's his single-minded focus. Guy is a piece of work. He's got money but not much class or integrity.

"WTF is with Darrell Issa?"

He is typical of partisan members of the House.

If you are on his side you think he is a passionately committed patriot.

If you are opposed to his side you think he is a partisan zealot.

What do you think of him?

This is a GREAT explanation of how this goes.

Well, (loosely paraphrasing Hunter S. Thompson) he's a gutless, treacherous old ward heeler who should be stuffed into a 55 gallon oil drum and sent out with the Japanese Current".

I believe you. I would argue he works among equals.

Darrell Issa??

Mark Twain once observed:

It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress. -

D. Issa seems particularly well suited to that body of cottonmouths.
