Darrell Issa is Lebanese, right?

[Skidmore]

What kind of excrement sits on a committee and actively works to cover the butt of a company which would people from his own ethnic group, let alone other groups, as slave labor? Didn't bat an eyelash. Continued to attack the witnesses on that committee even after being told that the people on one plane being taken to Baghdad to work without their consent were Lebanese.

Folks, I think we've found *'s third asshole. * is truly a freak of nature.

1. With the elite, there are no nationalities

when considering who gets favored treatment and who gets really bad treatment. Issa's people are other elites, preferably GOP elites.

2. Internalized bigotry married to the belief in one's own exceptionalism

You'll find it in Republican women, gays, and members of other marginalized groups. They will support the GOP, despite it being against the best interest of their group and despite the bigoted rhetoric that they use to stay in power with their base. Some people will say they are self-hating but I disagree. These people usually have an abundance of love for themselves and will exalt themselves at the expense of the rest of their group.

5. Issa is Lebonese but he's also Christian

who needs to prove he's one of the "good" ones (Arabs) as opposed to Muslim "bad" Arabs, its sort of the 21st century version of "Thomming"

6. I thought he was a three time car thieve

Republican Rep. Darrell Issa, the driving force behind the effort to recall Gov. Gray Davis, was prosecuted with his brother in San Jose in 1980 for allegedly faking the theft of Issa's Mercedes Benz sedan and selling it to a car dealer for $16,000, according to court records.

Issa, in a phone interview with The Chronicle Tuesday, blamed his brother for the car theft, which was detailed in documents on file in Santa Clara County Superior Court and which has never been made public.

9. We think the same

The NNDB says he was also indicted in 1972 for car theft but the charges were dropped. I wonder if he blamed that on his brother as well.

11. He's a corrupt bastard

Darrell Issa: Fraudster

In 1972, future Republican California congressman Darrell Issa and his brother Billy were arrested by Cleveland Heights police and accused of stealing a red Maserati from a used car dealership.
In 1980, upon his return from a holiday trip to Cleveland, Issa reported the theft of a 1979 cherry-red Mercedes 240. Police soon deduced that the car had not been stolen. Rather, it had been taken to a San Jose car dealership by a man resembling Billy Issa, who left with $16,000 in exchange for the car. Fortunately for Issa, charges were dismissed.

In 1985, Issa moved to San Diego County, where he began a business and soon made a fortune. The business? Manufacturing and distributing anti-theft car alarms.

On the night of his arrest in 1972, Issa was found to carrying a hunting knife (his brother had a screwdriver). Issa was charged with carrying a concealed weapon. Issa's explanation? The knife, he claimed years later, was merely a tool which he used as a box-cutter at work...

7. I don't like that guy

I was just reading the NNDB on Issa. Mentions that he was indicted as a car thief. Anyone know the skinny on that?
