QOTD: the car alarm king
by digby
Darryl Issa, the man who destroyed our lives and made hundreds of million with his car alarm business, admitting that in his hands “oversight” means partisan witch hunts:
You know, people often ask Trey Gowdy and myself, what did our investigations do?” Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) told Boston Herald Radio on Friday morning. Gowdy currently chairs the House Select Committee on Benghazi, while Issa conducted his own investigation in 2012 when he served as chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
“Well what they did is that they opened up an opportunity for the American people to sort of smell what’s in the garbage can,” Issa said. “And I think that’s the reason that a devout socialist who wants to nationalize almost everything in America is close to and probably will beat Hillary here in New Hampshire. It’s not because they like Republicans. It’s because they don’t trust Hillary.”
I’m sure right wing Republican taxpayers believe this is an excellent use of their money. They always do, as long as it’s aimed at Democrats or some oppressed minority. I wonder if the rest of America thinks this is an appropriate use of their dollars?
