Despicable Darrell

I honestly can think of nothing positive to say about Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) who heads the House Committee on Oversight and Government Regulations.   He has been an obnoxious abuser of the power of his office since the Republicans took control of the House.

His latest, shameless insult to ranking Democrat Elijah Cummings was a despicable act of arrogance and contempt for a colleague.   Democrats pushed back, introduced a bill to censure Issa for his behavior, which was voted down.

Yesterday they introduced another resolution calling his behavior toward the opposition "offensive" and should be "condemned."   Again it was voted down.

I'd say to the House Democrats:    Keep it up.   If the Republicans can vote 50 times to kill or weaken the Affordable Care Act, make them vote 50 times on Issa's behavior.   Even if they lose every time, it will call attention to his behavior.

And if Repubs complain, well just remind them of their 50 votes against Obamacare.
