Issa. Isn't he the guy who has been asking all sorts of questions about how the Obama administration does things?
Yeah. Ya'll are gonna need to demonize him in a hurry.
Trust me, this idiot has made a career of letting everyone know he is, well, an idiot.
You Republicans sure know how to pick them.
There was somebody on here who even told me a few years ago what a brilliant choice McCain made in picking Sarah Palin.
You wouldn't by any chance remember who that was?
Darrell Issa
What do you do when you don't like election results? Well, if your daddy's friends aren't on the Supreme Court you could do what Rep. Darrell Issa (R) is doing in California, and spend $800,000 on a recall effort.
Issa wants to see Gov. Gray Davis replaced - but who could possibly replace him? Step forward... Darrell Issa.
Unfortunately for the lowly congressman it was revealed last week that Issa has a criminal record which he didn't make public. Apparently back in 1980 he was prosecuted along with his brother for "allegedly faking the theft of Issa's Mercedes Benz sedan and selling it to a car dealer for $16,000" according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Oh dear. But like any good Republican, Issa is taking full personal responsibilty for his misdemeanors: "Issa, in a phone interview with The Chronicle Tuesday, blamed his brother for the car theft ... 'I do not steal,' Issa said ... He blamed his brother for the San Jose arrest."
Funnily enough, that wasn't the first time that Issa had been involved in a car theft prosecution. Apparently back in 1972 he was "indicted with his brother William on a charge of felony grand theft for allegedly stealing a red Maserati sports car from a car dealership in Cleveland."
Again, Issa took full responsibilty, claiming "he had been wrongly implicated because his brother William had an arrest record ... 'I was exonerated of all wrongdoing. My brother went on to have a long and sordid career' ... 'I am not my brother. I am not my brother's keeper.'"
Yes, it's another excellent demonstration of conservative personal responsibility. Oh brother.
