Republicans Create Circus Within A Circus, or, "Issa Has A Hissyfit." [View all]

[Fred Sanders]

I am in total awe of their sheer stupidity and the equal stupidity of the mass media for whistling past all the crap that flows from under the GOP circus big top tent.

"Wait a doggone Bengazhi minute", Issa said, "I am the circus ringleader here, and this is MY Kangaroo Court, I want it back."

Hard to argue with that logic.

And you gotta love the Honourable Representative Mr. Elijah Cummings.

Democrats were quick to point out the seeming clash between Issa and the new committee, even as they remain undecided on whether they will take the seats offered to them on the body. “I do not understand what the House Republicans are doing on Benghazi, and apparently they don’t either,” Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the Oversight committee, said in a statement. “I don’t know if this is Chairman Issa’s attempt to reinsert himself into this investigation after the Speaker removed him, but this looks more and more like the ‘sideshow’ and ‘circus’ Speaker Boehner said he would not tolerate.”
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was even more blunt in her assessment. “Chairman Issa’s subpoena of Secretary Kerry calls into question the Republicans’ stated purpose of the Select Committee on Benghazi,” she said in a statement. ”The Select Committee is a sign of no confidence in Issa just as Issa’s action today is a sign of a lack of confidence in the Select Committee.” The former Speaker also lamented that House Republicans insist on keeping their focus on the Benghazi tragedy rather than other issues, echoing previous calls from Democrats to move forward with other areas of legislation.
