Even More Epic Situation Appreciation Fail

GOP Rep. Darrell Issa, as in "Darrell Issa Moron" bitching about the Obama White House needing to preserve all e-mails. You know, the same White House that six months ago lost tens of thousands of Bush e-mails that will of course never be found.
The irony, of course, is that Issa couldn't care less about an actual scandal regarding White House emailing archiving. Bushies lost untold thousands of emails, with no archive or backups. Indeed, the former president's team deliberately created a "primitive" email system that created a high risk that data would be lost -- there was "no automatic system to ensure that e-mails were archived and preserved."

Perhaps most startling of all, the Bush Administration managed to dismantle, apparently on purpose, the Clinton Administration's email archive system -- which worked just fine -- without replacing it with anything at all.

When Henry Waxman raised concerns about all of this, Darrell Issa dismissed the questions as partisan sniping.

But now Issa is worried about the Obama White House failing to fully comply with the Presidential Records Act. Funny, up until recently, Issa preferred to pretend the Presidential Records Act didn't exist. I wonder what changed his mind?

One, the Village will ignore the BUSH White House e-mail scandal for the shadow of a rumor of an Obama one in a heartbeat. Two, remember the GOP plan is Destroy. Obama.

So yes, Issa FAILS EPICALLY.
