Darrell Issa (R-CA) is such a loud-mouthed jerk!!

[bluestateguy]

Everytime I see this guy on TV he is a completely rude asshole. On Crossfire, he just said that prison guards are overpaid. Maybe he'd like to come to Texas where prison guards are poorly trained, non-union and poorly paid. It's a disaster.

On the night of the CA recall he rudely "debated" Arinna Huffington and acted like the worst sore winner I have ever seen. But what would one expect from someone who supports the "poltical wings" of Hizbollah and Hamas.

Can't stand that guy.

2. Don't you just love it when super-wealthy

people complain that a certain lower, middle, or lower-middle class occupation (guard, teacher, police, social worker, etc., etc.) is "overpaid"? Take away their bank accounts and their fancy toys and see how well they like it for just a few days!

3. when you get too angry at the Issa-hole, just remember this:

his tearful announcement that he was backing out of the CA gov recall race :evilgrin:

5. "oooooooooohhh dear gawwwwd!!"

I enjoyed that moment too!!

4. Nah, that prison guard crack was another swipe at Gray Davis.

And yes, a sore winner.

6. I agree that he's an a-hole

But he's right on the money as far as California correctional officers are concerned. Big time campaign contributions to both Pete Wilson and Gray Davis gave them huge raises while continuing to underpay classifications like RNs and pharmacists. Their corrupt union sure knows how to do it.
