Welcome to the Darrell Issa Hall of Shame

[sheshe2]

For Republicans "energized" by the prospect of bludgeoning President Obama over his supposed misdeeds, Issa is the perfect hatchet man. After all, given his own past troubles including "the gun conviction, the three allegations of car theft, the arson allegation, the allegation that he dismissed an employee while brandishing a gun, and the mysteries about his finances," Darrell Issa is well acquainted with wrong-doing. Before becoming chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in January 2011, Issa served as the Bush administration's attack dog in Congress. (That explains why in June 2010 he was already planning to double his committee staff and planning to issue subpoenas to "get the very information that today the White House is either shredding or not producing.&quot And perhaps most helpful in his current role, Darrell Issa appears to be lacking the embarrassment gene altogether.

You don't have to read his long rap sheet to reach that conclusion. A brief tour of the Darrell Issa Hall of Shame will suffice:

1. Issa Calls 9/11 Attacks in New York a Plane Crash
Issa's slur against World Trade Center rescue workers was the perhaps most unforgettable moment in a truly forgettable political career. Almost three years before President Obama signed the $4.2 billion 9/11 responders health care bill into law, Rep. Issa was waging a campaign to stop it.

Desperate to refuse federal funds to the ailing workers who rushed to Ground Zero, Issa denied the September 11 carnage was an attack on the United States at all. As the New York Post summed it up:

3. Issa Asks Big Business to "Tell Me What to Change"
By 2010, Issa had emerged, in the words of the New York Times, as President Obama's "Annoyer-in-Chief." And fresh off his inquisition in the Sestak no-pay-for-no-play non-scandal he deemed "Obama's Watergate," Issa last summer made clear he plans to ramp up the GOP's efforts to protect its friends and target its enemies. While the Obama administration had much to fear a Republican takeover of the House, Darrell Issa promised his party's business backers they would have a friend on Capitol Hill:

"That will make all the difference in the world. I won't use it to have corporate America live in fear that we're going to subpoena everything. I will use it to get the very information that today the White House is either shredding or not producing

4. Issa Labels Obama "Most Corrupt" President
By August 2010, Politico was previewing what it deemed Issa's "season of subpoenas." But for his part, Darrell Issa was sending mixed signals about the inquisition to come. As the Washington Post reported:


Good Darrell, writing in USA Today on Oct. 11: "Oversight is not and should not be used as a political weapon against the occupant of the Oval Office. It should not be an instrument of fear or the exclusive domain of the party that controls Congress."

SNIP:

In January 2011, Bad Darrell repeated the charge. Ignoring both Nixon's Watergate scandals and the Abramoff, U.S. attorneys, Plamegate, domestic spying and MZM imbroglios which defined the Bush White House, Issa branded Obama's "one of the most corrupt" administrations.

3. Good morning sheshe2

[spanone]

4. k&r....

[OLDMDDEM]

5. I can't see how Issa ever got into congress

Darrell Issa is a corrupt as he says the administration is. What do his constituents see in him? He drips slime. WWW.IMOPENTOIT.COM

[xtraxritical]

11. He hails from a very affluent corporate wonder land in North San Diego and South Riverside

counties in Southern Calif. San Diego is a big conservative defense town, rife with shady contractors that love shady reps.

[spanone]

12. M O N E Y

[xtraxritical]

13. Oh, btw, his district was gerrymandered Republicon years ago.

[G_j]

6. It's hard to imagine how any human being

can be so utterly devoid of integrity.

[skydive forever]

7. I went and read the

full article, what a horrible person. I'll never understand what makes a person behave like that.

[hue]

8. All animals, plants, members of life etc. have more integrity than Issa and his ilk...K&R!!

[sheshe2]

9. I know hue~

And he would not know the truth even it came up and bit him in the ass.

[Sheepshank]

10. what a despicable man

small, belittling and petty when it come to humans...grandious, embracing and forgiving when it comes to corporations. Is there anything worse in a politician?

[sheshe2]

21. And an extremely dangerous one at that.

The man(if you want to call him that) is pure evil.

[lastlib]

14. Issa is SCUM!

(Profound apologies to scum! but I can't think of anything lower)

[mountain grammy]

15. And behind every Issa are the teabagger idiots who vote for him,

thereby hurting the whole country.

[Hubert Flottz]

17. Typo?

Should read : Darrell Asshole

[byeya]

16. "Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood"...It's a tough world for a person with no ethical

standards; no compassion for those who get in the way of Big Capital; no senses of decency and shame...But Issa, while he may not have friends or be aware of the concept of friends, gathers in the Big $$$ and gets plenty of rubes to reelect him.
On second thought, maybe it's not such a tough world for him.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

18. He is flat out

an embarrassment to my state and a danger to our country. He needs to go.

[stevenleser]

19. K&R & Bookmarked

Good stuff. Thank you for this.

[sheshe2]

24. You're welcome Steve.

Issa lives his life in a cesspool. Unfortunately he is trying to drag this country down with him!

[bluedigger]

20. There are plenty of GOP hacks and dumbasses, but Issa wins "Most Contemptible" hands down.

It's really a one elephant race.

[wandy]

22. The other brother Darrell, a republican hero............

Ok, although I wouldn't want Darrell Issa as a friend, a neighbor, or even an acquaintance I simply can't understand why he is held in high acclaim by republicans. Republicans tell us they are good people and believe in god and that us liberals are basically the spawn of the devil.
If you have not seen this self righteous rant pleas do. If you have this self righteous circle jerk, if you have finished throwing up, re visit the hero Darrell Issa's Hall of Shame.

Kinda gives me the willies that folk like this might be you're neighbor.

[Cleita]

23. Issa is a crook, who should be investigated himself.

I cannot believe this man isn't involved in underhanded background dealings that are illegal and even criminal. I really wish he would be investigated. A good forensic audit into his financial affairs could probably shine a light on this. I truly believe the recall that he instigated and that brought us Arnold Schwarzenegger as our Governor was not above board. I believe the petition signatures were obtained by fraud. If he was capable of doing this, I believe there is much, much more under there regarding his political dealings. I really want him investigated.

[kairos12]

25. His Hall of Shame is rapidly filling

[treestar]

26. here will be a certain degree of gridlock as the president adjusts to the fact that he has been one

of the most corrupt presidents in modern times."



He didn't know he was corrupt, found out now, and has to adjust to that?

Corrupt people don't need to adjust to the fact, they know they are corrupt. And that applies to Bad Darrell.

[napkinz]

27. Time to hold Issa accountable ...

[sheshe2]

28. Excellent Graphics!

Well done and so true, napkinz~

30. Darrell Issa: The Fox News Congressman.

[Initech]

29. Darrell Issa is one gigantic fail.

[Ikonoklast]

32. What's actually the funniest part of Issa's entire crusade is

that he is so bad at it.


He ends up looking like the enormous tool that he is.

Just another crooked rich guy that thinks everyone else is an idiot.

[Initech]

33. He's like the Joker from The Dark Knight.

He's just like a dog chasing a car. He wouldn't know what to do with one if he caught it.

[Cha]

31. Excellent! Mahalo She! I've read Issa says "everyone has a past." I say

Issa needs to own his past.

[sheshe2]

34. He may never own his past, Cha.

However, his past owns him. Lock stock and barrel.

[Cha]

35. Touche!

she

[dgauss]

36. He's a bad actor in a bad fiction.

He plays the part of a jerk. He can't act but ends up with some success anyway because he happens to be a real jerk and that's what the part called for.
