Darrell Issa got schooled by Tweety, who saw through Issa’s latest grandstanding attempt to smear Pelosi. More interesting, though, is the accusation Issa refers to–Paul Kanjorski’s allegation that CIA trumped up photos of “Iraq UAVs” to add to the case for war.

Hank Greenberg Sorta Liveblog |
| By: emptywheel Thursday April 2, 2009 7:19 am |
For reasons I explained here, I’m not going to do a full liveblog of Hank Greenberg’s appearance before Oversight today, though will keep half an eye on it. If you want to follow along, it’s on CSPAN3 and this Committee stream (which I can’t get to work).
Most interesting detail, thus far, is that Issa insisted that Greenberg’s lawyer be sworn in, as well as Greenberg.
Hank’s Dog and Pony Show |

Hank Greenberg will testify before the Oversight Committee today. I suspect it’ll be a dog and pony show designed to exonerate Greenberg, not a useful hearing to learn what happened at AIG.

Funny. Last week, Darrell Issa thought the matter of missing White House emails was an urgent matter. This week? He couldn’t care less.
A Timeline of Lamar Smith’s Pathetic Attempt to Save Karl Rove |
| By: emptywheel Wednesday July 23, 2008 1:27 pm |
Funny. Lamar Smith’s attempt to save Karl Rove’s ass was not an attempt to gather information for the Subcommittee. Rather, it appears to have been an attempt to be able to say to Attorney General Muaksey that Rove had been nice and compliant, just in time for Mukasey’s appearance before the Committee today.
