Darrell Issa understandably likes to hide behind the fact that he has never actually been prosecuted for his alleged criminal activities, but that doesn’t mean that the allegations haven’t been made.
Former White House senior adviser David Pollute took to Twitter to question Rep. Darrell Issa’s ethics after the California Republican trashed press secretary Jay Carney.
“Strong words from Mr Grand Theft Auto and suspected arsonist/insurance swindler. And loose ethically today,” Plouffe tweeted on Sunday, linking to a video of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman on CNN’s “State of the Union” calling Carney a “paid liar” who was “making things up” about the IRS scandal.
His business partner thought he lit their building on fire and Issa blamed his brother for the car thefts. One of the things I like about David Plouffe is that he doesn’t let stuff like that go. If Issa wants to make unfounded accusations about the administration then he’s going to get brushed back. It’s my understanding that Mr. Issa is the richest member of Congress, more wealthy even than Secretary of State John Kerry, the heir to the Heinz ketchup fortune. He made his money with those annoying “please step away from the car” alarms. I guess it takes a thief to deter a thief.
I think it was less of a brushback pitch, and more of a bean-ball.
Good for Plouffe!
He aimed that one right at Issa’s carefully hair-dyed noggin’!!!
Issa was, and still is, a scumbag.
And he, his party, and the public, need to be reminded of that every day.
Not that it’ll stop the sociopathic ancient white conservative voters in his District from reelecting him.
After all, he’s THEIR scumbag
And it’s time Democrats, especially those of the Versailles variety, hit back like Plouffe.
that tweet was fabulous
That’s a shame. My condolences to his family.
His efforts on behalf of drinking (uniform nationwide drinking age of 21), tobacco (banning smoking on planes, federal buildrings), and other areas were not big, but have had profound impact on life in the US. Looking at movies from the 70s and 80s in which everyone is smoking and movies now where it’s less common, Lautenberg was very much part of that change. Change for the better, too.
Check the movies from the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. And TV! Jack Webb always had a butt going.
Issa really should stop projecting considering his glass jaw and house.
For too long, we have let this unindicted car thief get traction on his “law-n-order” bullshit. Now we are taking it to him. Good.
Love me some Plouffe.
When you least expect it, the spellchecker strikes again! David Pollute?
