Scandals, Blanks And Lips.

       Have you heard of this California Representative Darrill Issa? He's the chair of the House committee investigating the three, so called, sandals that would bring down the Obama Administration. First there was the Benghazi tragedy, which Issa and all other conservatives accused Obama, Hillary Clinton and every other progressive in the world of wrongdoing. Turns out that the problem was mainly one of CIA talking points and unfortunate under funding.
       Then there was the IRS scandal in which a section of the IRS was targeting certain conservative groups when they applied for tax exempt status. Issa again rode to the rescue by accusing Obama's staffer-in-charge of news conferences, of being a "paid liar" and for which Issa needs to apologize. It turns out that it wasn't the White House at all, but a conservative Republican manager of that office who started the targeting. It also turns out that the groups targeted actually were involved in activities that made them ineligible for tax exempt status.
       Finally there was the case of the whistle blower or did he just leak NSA secrets that endangered peoples lives, and the FOX News reporter who should have known better. But that has turned out to be a non-starter against President Obama as well.
       The thing is, all of these scandals were not scandals at all. Well, except for the scandalous fact that they took attention away from the real problems facing Americans. And Mr Issa? He's still the man who shoots from the lip. What are the chances that he'll ever apologize to anyone for his mouth and what comes from it?
There are reasons for Congress to do in-depth investigations. But there are never reasons for shooting from the lip. At least not until you have something besides blanks in your brain.
