Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista, the House GOP's mangy attack dog, has squandered his chairmanship of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform trying to embarrass the Obama administration over a host of ginned-up purported scandals. The IRS, Benghazi--you know the list.

Democrats try to push back against Issa's scandal-mongering, but it's doubtful anyone has done so as directly and succinctly as Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie, who fired back last month with a letter ridiculing Issa for his habit of conducting investigations as exercises in "ready, fire, aim." ...

Their March 25 letters went out to the governors of 10 states and to the District of Columbia, demanding information about their state websites' security flaws and accusing some of squandering federal funds to set up their websites. Hawaii, they charged, spent $205 million in federal grants to enroll just 5,000 customers, at $44,000 per enrollee.

Um, not so fast, replied Abercrombie. "Your letter is full of mistakes, misrepresentations, omissions, and false assertions....Because of your flawed assumptions and mistakes, you have predictably reached erroneous conclusions. With a little due diligence, you and your committee staffers could easily have avoided these errors."

Mangy attack dog!!
