(GOP Rep. Darrell) Issa almost booted (from House Oversight Committee meeting)

Source: signon san diego

Rep. Henry Waxman banged the gavel a half dozen times to silence Rep. Darrell Issa Tuesday.

According to Dow Jones Newswire, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee then told the Vista Republican: "I will have you physcially removed from this meeting if you don't stop."

The confrontation came during a hearing in Washington when Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Stephen Johnson refused to say whether he had spoken to President Bush before deciding various environmental policies.

The Dow Jones dispatch said Issa kept interrupting Waxman, D-Los Angeles, by saying that lawmakers were supposed to take turns speaking, rotating from one party to the next.

5. The irony here is ...

The irony here is that the media would have completely ignored this important hearing if Issa hadn't made an ass of himself.

4. It's the "almost" that bothers me.

It's always "almost." Reminds me of the line from Alice: "Jam yesterday and jam tomorrow, but never jam today."
