So Sorry, Issa. (Not Really.)
Can we now hold a hearing on why Darrell Issa spent taxpayer money to hold a hearing that turned out to be nada?
All the promised hoopla on Benghazi from their “whistle blower” proved to be pure raw unadulterated crapola from “the worst manager I’ve ever seen in the Foreign Service.”
Issa is walking round trying to clean egg off his face, but the real test of his manhood will come when Hillary Clinton giggles at him in the hallway.
So, here’s my question, what was Issa covering up with these hearings?
Let me admit that I do not like Darrell Issa. I think the devil has a mortgage on his soul. I also think he bucks in eight different directions at once just to get attention.
His purpose of these hearings was to make Hillary Clinton look bad. If ya hunt bear you need more than a stick. Issa had a twig.
I guess this means you won’t take him off our hands?
1If ignorance is bliss, then ol’ Darrell must be in Nirvana. Ciao for now (that’s Italian for ya’ll)
2The republicans have learned from the lewinsky scandal that they can waste millions of taxpayers dollars on dog & pony shows without repercussions. Also I’d feel better if I knew that the embassy staff who talked to Thinkprogress also were talking to congress (couldn’t tell from the article).
3Darell, Darell, Darell! Think thrice before you open your mouth. You had a hard enough time trying to explain away some stuff in your own past. Yeah, I know it was your brother but in the past few days brothers have become highly suspect even when it comes to the time of day.
4Darrell Issa has a criminal past as long as your arm: arson, car theft, insurance fraud just to name a few of the charges which somehow were dropped.
5It is the height of hypocrisy that he heads the oversight committee and decides what and whom to investigate. The Repugs are like terriers worrying a mouse, they won’t let it go, even if its dead.
Issa is R- California. I really hope this makes Texas feel better for a bit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darrell_Issa
6Not a twig, a very small splinter.
7You gatta read this guy’s bio. He is Teflon coated: nothing sticks.
8Congressman Bupkus. Never was any more and never will be.
9He must have good lawyers.
10Here’s a list of US Embassy attacks under George W Bush. Also the list of outraged Republicans during those 8 years:

Issa is doing a hellofva job “projecting” what he would have done had he been president or secretary of state. He judges all others by his own personal code of ethics, which isn’t very good, as others have pointed out. He’s on a mission to find a conspiracy, nothing else. He doesn’t care about what happened in Benghazi or the men who were killed.
12He’s also trying to smear the president and was really hoping there was something impeachment-worthy there.
13Rick: Thanks for that list. It should be on the front page of every newspaper tomorrow.
14Issa is Trying to cover Congress’ ass for cutting the State Depts Embassy Security budget..”For fiscal 2013, the GOP-controlled House proposed spending $1.934 billion for the State Department’s Worldwide Security Protection program — well below the $2.15 billion requested by the Obama administration. House Republicans cut the administration’s request for embassy security funding by $128 million in fiscal 2011 and $331 million in fiscal 2012.”
15That’s Why they are focusing on the “cover-up”
Gina McCarthy’s EPA Nomination Blocked By Senate Republicans Who Miss Scheduled Vote – article in Huffington post
So we’re back to that now ..
16Reading further in HuffingtonPost articles, this one ties in nicely “How Big Oil Uses the Republican Party to Subvert American Democracy”
No worries, juanita. Not Texas. The Republican ranking member, Senator David Vitter of Louisiana was behind it for a cool 1.2 bil from Big Oil.
Lovely.
17Sure wish Harry Reid would start Senate hearings into all the embassy bombings during the Bush years!
18Issa is the 2nd richest member of Congress trailing only our own Michael McCaul. He’s had so many conflicts of interest over the years that it’s amazing he is not in jail. Here’s hoping voters look at this clown and replace him with a bona fide human being.
19Let’s look at just the facts!

20The biggest mistake Nancy Pelosi made when the Democrats had the majority in the House, and she was Speaker, (Remember when she took “impeachment” off the table) is the same mistake Harry Reid is making in the Senate. (See the handshake agreement with Mitch.)
They both thought (and think) that if you treat the opposition party like responsible people, they will act like responsible people.
Never gonna happen.
21Issa is just doing what he said he was going to do in the beginning when Barak Obama was first elected President. Waste the taxpayers money conducting continuous hearings, attempting to find something to nail Obama on. Issa is a slimeball yet, the sociopath that he is, he could care less who knows it.
