Darrell Issa's selective outrage

The Internet doesn't need more virtual ink spilled on the ATF's "Fast and Furious" program, Rep. Darrell Issa's long-running investigation of it or the Obama Administration's response to that investigation, so I'm not going to take a lot of time here.

I just wanted to say, read this. Contemplate the BS quotient of a comment like "Who authorized this program that was so felony stupid that it got people killed?" from a guy who's genuinely worried about any infringement on Arizona's ability to sell teenagers $20,000 in assault weapons per month without batting an eyelash. Further contemplate that the national organization that's allegedly devoted to responsible gun ownership has successfully lobbied against creating a national electronic database of gun purchases. Feel free to look up any and all comments Rep. Issa may have made back during the Bush presidency about the faulty intelligence that got us into the Iraq War, an act of felony stupidity that got thousands killed. And then form your own opinion.
