“Culture of corruption” doesn’t even begin to cover it
Way to drain that swamp, scumbags.
Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.) locked Republicans out of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee room to keep them from meeting when Democrats aren’t present.
Towns’ action came after repeated public ridicule from the leading Republican on the committee, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), over Towns’s failure to launch an investigation into Countrywide Mortgage’s reported sweetheart deals to VIPs.
For months Towns has refused Republican requests to subpoena records in the case. Last Thursday Committee Republicans, led by Issa, were poised to force an open vote on the subpoenas at a Committee mark-up meeting. The mark-up was abruptly canceled. Only Republicans showed up while Democrats chairs remained empty.
Republicans charged that Towns cancelled the meeting to avoid the subpoena vote. Democrats first claimed the mark-up was canceled due to a conflict with the Financial Services Committee. Later they said it was abandoned after a disagreement among Democratic members on whether to subpoena records on the mortgage industry’s political contributions to Republicans.
And after that they said it wasn’t them, they didn’t know anything about it, and anyway it was two other fellas. And then blamed Bush.
Towns’s staffers told Republicans they were not happy about the presence of the video camera in the hearing room when they were not present.
Yeah, I bet not. Thieving lowlifes never are too happy about having their crimes recorded. And the Democrat Socialists are nothing but criminals — obnoxiously sanctimonious grifters who enjoy lecturing everybody else on how pristine and angelic they are. Bad as some Republicans are, the Democrat Socialists make them look like unserious pikers.
Issa’s spokesman said the Democrats readily acknowledged to Republicans that they changed the locks in retaliation to the videotape of the Democrats’ absence from the business meeting even though committee rules allow meetings to be taped.
“It’s not surprising that they would choose to retaliate given the embarrassment we caused by catching them in a lie on tape,” said Issa spokesman Kurt Bardella. “If only they would use their creative energy to do some actual oversight rather than resorting to immature tactics, but I guess we’re getting some insight into what lengths they’ll go to avoid addressing the Countrywide VIP issue.”
The Democrat Socialist lie about being “the most ethical Congress in history” was never anything but a tiresome, insulting joke. They’re the most corrupt bunch of blaggards ever to rig an election, usurp power, and fleece an electorate while trying to look pious, and hanging’s too good for ‘em.
Doug has chapter and verse on who got the most boodle, but you can bet every last one of the sniveling shitweasels has his hand in some cookie jar or other. It’s who they are, it’s what they do.
