House Republican investigators found email evidence of repeated warnings about the company and its green energy projects, with one calling it “not ready for prime time” and others warning that it was doomed to run out of money this very month. And and and, there’s also evidence that one investor in Solyndra, George Kaiser, was also a fundraiser for Obama and made several visits to the White House in order to visit with several aides.

Jon Stewart explained what this might mean for a certain popular media outlet:
Fox News, call your doctor. Because the erection you currently have is going to last longer than four hours.

Do you suppose Rick Perry and Mitt Romney are both performing the running man at this very moment? So gather yourselves together, make sure your bedroom doors are locked, and check out the video below, courtesy of Comedy Central:

Another Popular Name Emerges In The Solyndra Scandal (Goldman Sachs)

“The leadership and actions of President Barack Obama, Energy Secretary Steven Chu and the U.S. Congress were instrumental in concluding this offer for a loan guarantee,” said Solyndra CEO and founder, Dr. Chris Gronet. “The DOE Loan Guarantee Program funding will enable Solyndra to achieve the economies of scale needed to deliver solar electricity at prices that are competitive with utility rates. This expansion is really about creating new jobs while meaningfully impacting global warming.”

Designed specifically for commercial, industrial and institutional rooftops, Solyndra’s proprietary photovoltaic (PV) systems generate significantly more solar electricity per rooftop at a lower installed cost than conventional flat panel PV technologies. Further, Solyndra’s PV systems are fast and economical to install due to the simple horizontal mounting and unique air-flow properties of the solar panels. Solyndra’s panels are fully certified for U.S. and international use and have been commercially shipping since July 2008.

Goldman, Sachs & Co. acted as exclusive financial advisor to Solyndra in connection with this loan guarantee application.

Anywhere you look... Goldman has already been there.

4. still don't see where this is a "scandal."
WH never pressured for a result, only for a decision (whether it is was good or bad). Did the WH look bad here? yes, is this a scandal - no way! If it is the standards for scandal have been lowered again...it always gets lowered when a dem is in the WH (last time it was a blowjob).
