Signed Out Too Soon

Rachel Maddow reports on a bit of pushback regarding the chair of the House Oversight Committee, who has been mentioned here before:

But the key takeaway here is the fact that Plouffe was willing to go there in the first place, as if to say to Issa, "You want a fight over honesty and ethics? That's a great idea." What's more, also keep in mind that if Democrats seriously pursue this as a line of criticism, Issa and his allies will be cautious in pushing back because they'd prefer not to have this conversation at all -- the last thing Republicans want now is a discussion about Issa's scandalous background and whether he's the best person available to lead investigations into others' suspected wrongdoing.

Seriously.
