Rep. Darrell Issa, R-California is on a
witch-hunt. Here in election time he is trying to once again bring public light
onto a problem of on-going intelligence gathering and deciphering during a time
of crisis. (Remember he was the one who tried unsuccessfully earlier in the
year to bring down Attorney General Holder due to the Arizona boarder patrol
agent’s shooting.) So, here is my question for Representative Issa, where were
you when President Bush was sending in troops to Iraq based on intelligence
that said there were Weapons of Mass Destruction stationed all over the
countryside? Where was you committee and its insistence on seeing all the
evidence then? Huh? Can you tell me Rep Issa? Can you?
No. You can’t.
Because a Republican was in the White
House and it was not an election year.
You wait to do your witch-hunts when
the cameras are on and you can make hay for the GOP against a sitting
president. You are only doing it for politics. You are the lowest of all the
GOP fungi. You try and sound God-almighty self-righteous and in fact you are a
little tyrant in the same mold as Joe McCarthy.
Carry on Mr. Issa. Your day will come. It always does. And when it does I will stand
an applaud your leaving your elected seat in whatever shame it is that brings
you down – you and the other depots that sit in the chamber once inhabited by
honorable men and women. Yes, keep up your witch-hunt and go after the
President of the United States. That is most patriotic, and you and your party
love to wrap yourselves in the stars and stripes of Old Glory.
I am sure that Benghazi needed more
troops. But the House of Representatives
itself turned down funding for more state department sponsored personnel for
protection of U.S. embassies around the world. Tea Partiers saying that it is
not necessary to spend any more money aboard.
Mr. Issa. The vote came on your watch.
Might want to do a witch-hunt in your own ranks.

Now onto another topic: for those of
you who wrote or called in about where Chapter Two of Dream Chasers is…well…I checked with the publisher and it will be
daily starting Monday. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

And finally, a special thanks to the
University of Texas English Department and the graduate Creative Writing Track
for having me as a guest of honor this past week. Besides enjoying some very
fine food, I had the pleasure of meeting some exceptionally bright graduated
students and faculty who are making the writers school at UT something quite
special. Hook ‘em horns…
