(31,706 posts)Seems I've seen this movie before staring "Disco" Danny Burton. It's a combination of right wing red meat along with an attempt to embarass the administration in an election year.
I find the timing of this interesting on the heels of the Presiden't announcement last Friday...Fast and Furious has been a right wing witch hunt for a long time in an attempt to try to make this administration look weak on border protection. Issa and his ilk have spent years trying like crazy to find something/anything to investigate about this administration and this is the slim thread they can hang onto.
The corporate media...as expected...will look at the flash and never at the pan...politicizing it and giving Issa his 15 minutes. In the big picture this is just another side show...the great unhinged will now strut and go into poutrage while the media will find another bright shiny thing to play with...
