It is sadly pretty much
a given that Republican congressmorons are doing just about everything they can
to find ways to avoid speaking with constituents—preferably without looking
like the pre-chordates they are. So yesterday this photo made quite the splash:
That’s Darrell Issa,
Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (which he
has staffed with reps of generous campaign donor industries the committee is
meant to oversee), R-California 49th District. He’s standing on the
roof of his district office, dodging the people below him, outside the
building. They’re his constituents, ones who gather every Tuesday to protest
his craven actions in Congress. He’s photographing them, probably to turn over
to ICE for possible deportation, or at least to post to security guards so they
can block any potential office visits. My money’s on him not coming down until
the voters have been chased off the premises by guards or the cops.
At any rate, this photo
on Twitter sparked some really great replies. Viz.:
(Issa was charged with
both grand theft, auto, and with insurance fraud by arson in the past, although
he beat the rap.)
What a maroon.
