Emergency Inflatable Scandal, Coming Right Up!

Republicans are getting their asses kicked this week and they know it.  They're losing on birth control, the economy, the payroll tax cut, and their "frontrunner" is now a reactionary meathead destined to Goldwater the party into oblivion.

Time to change the subject, fast...

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa signaled Tuesday that his committee will "move forward with the contempt process against Attorney General Eric Holder unless the Justice Department commits to "providing, at a minimum, a detailed description of documents it is withholding" from his committee in the course of their investigation into ATF's Operation Fast and Furious.

“The Justice Department’s request for additional time has, unfortunately, not been followed by efforts to bridge the significant differences between its legal obligation to Congress and the reality of its stonewalling,” Issa said in a statement. “The committee is determined to know what happened in Operation Fast and Furious and how the Justice Department responded when it was publicly confronted with evidence of reckless conduct after Agent Terry’s death."

Oh look at them.  It's precious that they are trying to make a Bush-era program into Eric Holder's personal fault.  They really are terrified at this point, so very desperate the get the news cycle off their losing.  It'll last right up until the Michigan primary, at best.
