Rep. Darrell Issa's strident criticisms of the Obama administration and his steady presence on cable news over the past few years have put him in the spotlight. Now, with the gavel of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform where he leads multiple investigations of the Obama administration, Issa has become a target.
Which makes the 2,700 word piece critical of California Rep. Darrell Issa in Monday's New York Times—"A Businessman in Congress, Helping His District, Himself"—hardly surprising.
In devoting so many column inches to Issa, the New York Times, doing work no doubt pleasing to the Obama administration and House Democrats, is on the attack. Insinuation after insinuation is lobbed: the congressman has started businesses and bought buildings while using his position as a member of Congress, the article alleges, for his personal benefit.
Bizarrely, the article even notes Issa's attendance the Consumer Electronics Association annual convention in Las Vegas, an event attended by countless members of Congress—Democratic and Republican—over the years.
