Republicans in Congress make fools of themselves yet again on a hearing that they are leading. Can't they take any issue seriously except for trying to undermine the rights of women or cut off funds to Planned Parenthood? When you're a hack, you're a hack.

Rep. Daryl Issa made a mockery out of his own hearing on Capitol Hill when he tried to shut up his own frakkin' witness who tried to testify about an ATF program that went bad:

4. 70% of all weapons confiscated in Mexico' cartels are from USA
