I'm no lawyer, I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night and even I know that. These clowns are just plain incompetent

"Issa" sounds like something Jar Jar Binks would utter annoyingly and repetitively. Jar Jar would be more likable and more competent at Oversight Chairman too.

<i>"...she risked contempt by not answering his questions"</i>

Lerner asserts her Constitutional right not to testify and can be charged with "not testifying". That kinda takes the shine off the Fifth Amendment.

Yes, sometimes you do need to utter those "talismanic words" for the sake of being legal- like when you read someone their Miranda rights...

After just having my performance review I would like to see Mr. Issa subjected to one himself.

"Does not meet expectations" should be his middle name.

Nothing's more reassuring than a right wing politician who claims he's not a crook.

from what I understand, part of the reason Issa stormed out was because not only did he know in advance that she would plead the fifth- making it illegal for him to call her, knowing that she would do so, but that a deal had already been reached with her lawyer to provide the information that the committee supposedly wants in a manner that wouldn't expose her to legal liability. Essentially, he ran away because he did not want that information introduced.
