[via The Hill]
Representative Issa went on Fox Business today to discuss Hank Paulson’s hearing tomorrow regarding threatening Ken Lewis over the Bank of America/Merrill deal, whether doing so was ‘appropriate’ or not and so on and so forth. The ranking member of the Oversight and Government Reform committee said that, based on leaked testimony from Paulson, in which the former Treasury Secretary says fuck hell yeah we threatened Ken Lewis, but it was totally appropriate, Issa and his fellow congressmen and ladies will have no choice but to go hard on the guy. Considering that even when they like a person who categorically did nothing wrong, Team Congressional Crazy yells, berates, cuts off, and just generally gets lays an insane amount of self-righteousness on the ass of whoever’s in front of them, what could we possibly expect is in store for HP? Maxine’s not even on this committee but perhaps she’ll be brought in specially for the event? And is currently tied up in a House supply closet chewing on a piece of leather in anticipation of the big show? Obviously it’s going to have to be something good, since, I don’t know if Issa and Co know this, they’re dealing with the god damn Hammer, from whom they’ll have no protection once the hearing adjourns. Not scared? Talk to Ken Lewis. If he’s feeling strong enough to speak about it yet.

@1,
Yeah! Let’s just face it! Fascism for all! You are a cancer.
@1 um, ok, but the point here is what will the hill bitches have in store for HP?
Yeah! No more Mexicans!
Rabble Rabble Rabble!
Rep. Issa will get DP’ed by Hank Paulson and Lloyd Blankfein just like Ken did. Nobody messes with GS, bitch!
Congresswoman Waters: “Mr. Paulson, did you ever stop to think that you might be putting yourself physically at risk by threatening Joe Louis?”
The Bald is going to bust in the room wearing Navy Seal fatigues, a kevlar body armour vest and aviator shades. Not even Maxine’s gonna LA Laker suit up to mess with that.
The “ranking member?” If you’re referring to his johnson, then bully for him. Otherwise he’s the “ranking minority member.” Here’s four bucks, Izzy, go get me a latte, bitch.
@8L Did he play for the ’88 Univ. of Miami football team?
bess– what’s the news on CIT. Has She-bear relented?
Bess, please do a live-blog tomorrow. They are my favorite part of DB!
RIP Representative Issa.
Hammered in 2009.
I’m not. I don’t even like thinking about it, though it persistently haunts my dreams.

Well its only fitting the Hill is all blue balled. The Suzie go lightly hearings must be very hard for these guys. Her racial motivations and bullshit factor are so clear and the Sen. cant say anything or Prez teleprompter will get all pissy and put on an ABC TV show about race and the need for the rich to pay for everyone.
Of course they are going to beat Hank like Rihanna after a Chris Brown concert.
Issa is a massive dick, among dicks.
@17-Without a doubt, without a single doubt.
The sad thing is, he appears to have a brain, too bad he’s a fucking tool.
