Darrell Issa will CONTINUE congressional Witch-Hunt of Eric Holder

As you know, Attorney General Eric Holder has been exonerated after an investigation by the Justice Department.  The Justice Department WILL be prosecuting fourteen DOJ officials as a result of their investigation into Operation Fast and Furious.  Their investigation was obviously not a whitewash.

And just to set the record straight, Operation Fast and Furious was started during George W. Bush’s presidency.

Again, Eric Holder has been exonerated.  In case any conservatives are reading this, that big five-syllable word means “Not Guilty.”  When a person has been exonerated after an investigation, people whose IQs are higher than their shoe sizes will say “OK, we’re done.  Asked and answered.  Next.”

Darrell Issa (R—Ex-Convict), on the other hand, can’t seem to grasp the meaning of “exonerated” and is planning to continue investigating and searching and dirt-digging in an endless quest to find something — anything! — he can possibly pin on Eric Holder.  YOUR tax dollars at work.

According to the linked article, Darrell Issa “is vowing to continue pursuing Attorney General Eric Holder's contempt of Congress citation in court and said the report [exonerating Eric Holder] is all the more reason to continue his own probe with new zeal.”

WTF???!?!

In other words “The defendant has been acquitted.  That does it!  Now I KNOW he’s guilty!”

DUUUHHH!!!

How does this useless sack of pus keep getting elected to the House?

In case anyone needs a living breathing example of the Peter Principle — look no further than Darrell Issa.  He was very good at stealing cars and setting fires, but how he clearly has been promoted to his own level of incompetence and is in way over his head.

Darrell Issa — go back to stealing cars.  At least that was something you were able to do right.

Eminent Domain — The Morning After

Poor, poor New London, CT. She was hardworking, virtuous, popular, did everything right, played by the rules. Then she got seduced by a slick smooth-talking stranger who promised to take her away from all this. She fell hook, line and sinker, and said “Fuck You, I’m Outta Here!” to all of her lifelong friends.

Everything was great for a few years. It seemed almost too good to be true. It was.

Now he’s left her — penniless, barefoot, pregnant, with a house full of hungry screaming kids and bill collectors knocking on the door.

Pfizer vs. the property rights of New London homeowners — this was the case that changed the meaning of “eminent domain” four years ago. For centuries the government has taken private property for “public use.” It’s a necessary evil, without which we probably wouldn’t have any railroads, highways, parks, hospitals or schools.

But about eight years ago, city officials in New London came up with the retarded “reasoning” (using the term loosely) that the term “public use” now applies to ANY private development project that MIGHT bring more tax dollars into a community.

Some New London residents filed a lawsuit to prevent their homes from being demolished to make way for Pfizer. One judge after another sided up with Pfizer and the New London city government. And in 2005 the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5 to 4 ruling, upheld these imbecilic lower court decisions. Eminent Domain could now be used to uproot ANYBODY from their own property, as long as the new property owner was wealthier and would (probably) bring in more tax money.

And look at what happened. Pfizer is now planning to move 1,400 jobs out of New London. The “urban village” Pfizer was planning — which was the entire reason these homeowners had their homes yanked away from them! — has never been built. It’s a huge empty parcel blighting the New London landscape. (The linked article has a picture of it.)

Susette Kelo is one of the people whose homes were stolen out from under them by New London city officials and Pfizer. She said: “I’m not surprised that they’re gone. They didn’t get what they wanted: their development, their big plan.”

Scott G. Bullock is the attorney who represented the New London homeowners in court. He said Pfizer‘s announcement “really shows the folly of these plans that use massive corporate welfare and abuse eminent domain for private development. They oftentimes fail to live up to expectations.”

Robert M. Pero is one of the New London city council members who led the drive to evict his own constituents on behalf of Pfizer. His punishment for selling out his city — he’s going to be the new mayor next month. (Talk about the Peter Principle!) He said: “I’m sure that there are people that are waiting out there to say, ‘I told you so.’”

They’ll probably say a lot more than that, you cocksuckin’ son of a whore. I’d say it too if this wasn’t a respectable family blog.
