"SNIP"

Former Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) told Roll Call that he intends to run for Congress in Rep. Duncan Hunter’s (R-CA) district if he is not confirmed to a position in the Trump administration by winter.

Said Issa: “There’s nothing wrong with his voting. But he is injured in a way that, according to most polls I’ve seen — all polls I’ve seen — he cannot win reelection. And as a Republican, I don’t want to lose a seat that is clearly a seat that we need to have to get back in the majority.”

Crap, I thought I was done seeing his disgusting face. Put him in the Trump administration - he'll be gone in a year and his career will finally be over.

or just over-entitled self view? And in that case note that, proportionally, only a few appointments require confirmation so his imaginary position would be a high-up one.

Unless I missed news (that he is under consideration for some position)... I think Issa has been sniffing magic sharpies.
