(23,720 posts)A fellow soldier, Jay Bergey, claimed that Issa stole his Dodge Charger in 1971 while they were serving together and that the day after he confronted Issa the car was found abandoned on a nearby expressway. Asked about this charge in 2011, Issa denied it and suggested it was possible that other soldiers stole the car or that Bergey, who he claims had a drinking problem, had abandoned it himself while intoxicated."[5]
After receiving a hardship discharge in 1972 following his father's heart attack, Issa earned his General Educational Development (GED) certificate and began taking classes at Siena Heights University, a small Catholic college in Adrian, Michigan. He continued his military service in the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC)."[5] Twice during that year he was arrested, once for alleged theft of a Maserati, which Issa says was a matter of mistaken identity, and for which the charge was dismissed. In another case, he was pulled over for driving the wrong way on a one-way street, and a police officer noticed a firearm in the glove compartment. Issa was charged with carrying a concealed weapon; he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of possession of an unregistered firearm, and sentenced to six months' probation and a small fine.[5][8] Issa has said he believed the record of the incident had been expunged.[5]

REPORT: Media Ignore Rep. Issa's Alleged Criminal Past
January 11, 2011 4:40 pm ET 20 Comments
Rep. Darrell Issa's past includes arrests for weapons charges and auto theft, suspicions of arson, and accusations of intimidation with a gun, but you'd hardly know it from the media's recent coverage of the new chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. While Issa was substantially mentioned in 15 articles in the nation's largest newspapers since the last election -- including several major profiles -- only one of those articles mentioned any of these allegations. Likewise, interviewers did not ask Issa about his alleged criminal past in any of the cable or network interviews he sat for during that period.

(70,695 posts)but then Ahhhnuld jumped in. Oh, and then Tweety was all for "the KENNEDYs" (Ahhhnuld). When a few real Dems wanted to wage a real campaign, using Ahhhnuld's dirt on him, Tweety turned his evil eye, the snake eye he used on Phil DONOHUE, and said into the camera, "They'd BETTER NOT!1" And when Ahhhnuld's stage was set for his victory speech, there was that empty stage and the side doors opened and a horde of KENNEDY relatives in suits swarmed in and Tweety said, "Here come the KENNEDYs!1"
