Darrell Issa gives scumbags a bad name

Darrell Issa, Rethuglican congressman from California, has announced his agenda of harassment for the second half of Obama's first term. The dishonorable Issa plans to fiddle away at nonsense while America burns. According to Politico, Issa will go after everything from "corruption in Afghanistan" to "how regulation impacts job creation, the role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the foreclosure crisis; recalls at the Food and Drug Administration and the failure of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission to agree on the causes of the market meltdown."

Although Issa has said he plans to look into selective wrongdoings of the Bush administration, over the weekend Issa called the Obama White House “one of the most corrupt administrations," making clear who his real target is.

Politico reports that Issa is not looking to empower average Americans; he will give more power to special interests: "Rep. Darrell Issa wants the oil industry, drug manufacturers and other trade groups and companies to tell him which Obama administration regulations to target this year."

And this holier than thou sonuvabitch's first career? Car thief! Read it and weep.
