Darrell Issa’s Obama Bashing Backfires When He Uses a Weather App To Defeat Ebola On CNN

[alp227]

Rep. Darrell Issa humiliated himself on CNN today. While criticizing President Obama’s Ebola response, Issa held up his smartphone to show the world how easy it would be to monitor body temperatures on our phones. Unfortunately for him, the phone gave him the weather forecast, not his body temperature.

...

At one point, Issa held up his iPhone to demonstrate how easy it would be for people to take their own temperatures, but Rep. Issa may need to get to a hospital, because there was something very wrong with the image on his screen:



While explaining how easy it would be for everyone to monitor their temperatures with their phones, Issa held up a phone with a weather app on it for the world to see. Without realizing it, Issa sabotaged the very point that he was trying to make. Issa also clearly doesn’t understand that most of the body temperature apps on iTunes are clearly marked for entertainment purposes only. The accurate apps are the ones that come with thermometers that plug into your phone. Thus, the only way a phone can effectively be used to measure body temperature is if it is attached to a thermometer.

1. Republicans think "for entertainment only" is how they should also govern.

[NastyRiffraff]

31. You can't make this shit up

To be fair, the weather app DOES show some temperatures. Close enough, right?

[Roy Rolling]

39. It's worse...

And then Paul Ryan showed up to tell us how to balance the budget with unclaimed inheritances just sitting in bank accounts overseas. All we gotta do is reply to the email to say we are the next of kin and send our bank account info to Nigeria.

[George II]

40. Not only that, but it also shows WIND SPEED, right up Issa's alley!

[mstinamotorcity2]

2. Issa is a

horse's rear end.

[freshwest]

15. LOL! But don't insult the horses:

Much more appealing than Issa on his best day. Horse manure is better than what Issa produces.

Just sayin'

Gotta support the equines!

[lpbk2713]

3. He's embarrassing himself with his desperation.

But he's just too stupid to realize it.

[VanillaRhapsody]

4. well it was attached to a dim bulb!

[etherealtruth]

5. These (Issa and other politicians) are the idiots ...

... driving US Ebola policy

[JoePhilly]

6. Idiot.

[C_U_L8R]

7. The thermometer is right...

and therefore proves Issa is a reptile

[Cirque du So-What]

12. Beat me to it

Temp showing seems pretty low for a mammal.

[freshwest]

16. Hehehe!

[mountain grammy]

20. He IS a snake, I knew it all the time!

[UTUSN]

8. He is immune to "humiliation" and "shame" n/t

9. That phone could be used as a thermometer

if he shoves it up his ass. Then he could place it under his tongue, since his head is already up there.

[LeftInTX]

10. It's not Darrell Issa, it's Darrell Isis

He changed his name

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Just another convicted felon

making with the Stupid. And he gets reelected how many times,wake up San Diego you are not looking that bright with this fake.

[sdfernando]

19. With all due respect

This cretin doesn't represent any part of the city of San Diego. He represents a part of Northern San Diego County, and why the keep reelecting him is beyond my comprehension!

[malaise]

13. The only things GTA Issa should give advice on

are car theft and arson

[freshwest]

17. He is good at theft and arson for the GOP:

Wonder how he voted on the Sequester, Shutdown and Default?

[malaise]

18. 100% correct

because fire sales are very profitable for those who loot government

[ChisolmTrailDem]

37. That bottom one reminds me of the Swampy one. nt

[wandy]

14. Oh great. Our dumber brother Darrell goes ahead and proves that.............

Some people are dumb enough to be in iPhone warming denial.

[LiberalElite]

21. It's obvious to me it's showing his IQ nt

[LiberalElite]

22. There's also x-ray apps and

mri apps and cat-to-human translation apps!!: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.electricfrenchfries.htct.free&hl=en

[LiberalElite]

23. Uh I'm no luddite but -

WHY NOT JUST USE A THERMOMETER?

[Logical]

27. Too old school! nt

[Treant]

43. I do.

I mean, I'm sick. I have a thermometer sitting right here by my computer so I can keep an eye on it and take Ibuprofin when it tries to head north of 102.

Cheap, accurate, it even displays in pretty colors (green for normal, yellow for sick, red for "uh-oh.&quot Made by Vicks. Available at any pharmacy.

[Oilwellian]

24. LOL

He's such an idiotic ass.

[Rozlee]

25. He reminds me of those guys that were trying to get people to buy Skylab Insurance in 1979.

Somewhere, under some alias, I'm sure he's selling Ebola insurance.

[DetlefK]

26. Come on. Did someone really expect knowledge about electronic sensors from conspiracy-Issa?

That would mean dealing with things like technology and laws of nature and machines.
Things that can't be reasoned with or coerced or misquoted.
What use would he have for them?




I have long held the theory that republicans have a deep-seated subconscious distrust for all things scientific because they cannot be reasoned with and are beyond manipulation.
You can't measure temperature on an electronic device without a probe that turns temperature-differences into voltage or current. That's a fact and no amount of money, no socializing, no lobbying, no laws and no PR-campaign will ever change that.

[Mnpaul]

46. Former CEO of a car alarm company

what would he know about sensors.

[Sunlei]

28. I thought he was unemployed,quit or was gone already. Why can't CNN have a real medical

professional to interview instead of another of the republican presidential naggers?

[Dopers_Greed]

29. Issa has a lot of experience with high temperatures

Especially when it comes to buildings he's insured

[zappaman]

30. God, I hate this dick.

[TRoN33]

32. Oh that's so Issa.

He is incapable of being embarrassing.

[olegramps]

33. Just another example of today's Republican.

[Javaman]

34. It's a series of tubes!!!

issa is a moron.

[ck4829]

35. Why is his body only 59 degrees? He's a zombie! That explains everything!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

36. He forgot it was set for another interview about global cooling.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

38. Grandstanding on CNN

Yup, great move, Issa. We all know you're a frickin' genius.

Here's a good number to call: [phone]

Campaign headquarters for Dave Peiser - challenging Issa.

[Cha]

42. Good Luck to Dave Peiser! That'd be Great!

[Cha]

41. Is he stupid? Isn't there a Benghazi hearing he should be running somewhere.. who let him out?

[czarjak]

44. Stupid is...

as,,......you know.

[cynzke]

45. Of course you can.....

Just log on to a US weather satellite and it will tell you your temperature in celsius and fahrenheit. Don't forget to take your barometric pressure, you may need your umbrella if you start to rain, LOL!

[adirondacker]

47. Jimmy Fallon called him Darrel ISIS several times last night

It was actually pretty amusing.

[czarjak]

48. Hey Darrell..

"We're getting there." When, mofo?
