During a joint hearing on Tuesday by two House Judiciary subcommittees considering legislation to extend benefits, Issa described the Sept. 11 attacks as "a fire that had no dirty bomb in it" and added: "It had no chemical munitions in it. It simply was an aircraft, residue of two aircraft and residue of the material used to build this building."
(h/t Atrios) Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) showed some GOP love for the troops last Saturday (from ThinkProgress):
(UPDATE: McHenry was talking about a security contractor, not a soldier. However, even HOT AIR realizes that doesn't get him off the hook.)
We spent the night in the Green Zone, in the poolhouse of one of Saddam’s palaces. A little weird, I got to be honest with you. But I felt safe. And so in the morning, I got up early — not that I make this a great habit — but I went to the gym because I just couldn’t sleep and everything else. Well, sure enough, the guard wouldn’t let me in. Said I didn’t have the correct credentials.
It’s 5:00 in the morning. I haven’t had sleep. I was not very happy with this two-bit security guard.
This reminds me of the arrogance of disgraced GOP Congressman Tom Delay:
Recently, as The Washington Post reported, DeLay and cronies lighted up cigars at Ruth's Chris Steak House in D.C., which is in a building owned by the Smithsonian and falls under a federal smoking ban.
A manager politely cited government policy and asked DeLay to snuff out his stogie.
"I AM the federal government," DeLay bellowed at him, and then stormed out.
