Is there anything Issa DOESN'T want to investigate five minutes after it happens?

Issa investigating Obama's new fuel economy standards
By Andrew Restuccia - 07/29/11 07:20 PM ET

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) launched an investigation Friday into a series of closed-door meetings between Obama administration officials and major automakers that resulted in beefed-up vehicle fuel economy standards.

Issa sent out letters to executives of the country’s major automakers Friday alerting them to the investigation and requesting that they keep all documents related to meetings with administration officials on the standards.

Obama outlined a plan earlier Friday to ratchet up fuel efficiency and cut harmful carbon pollution for model year 2017-2025 cars and light-duty trucks. The plan sets a fleet-wide average standard of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.

The plan, Obama said, is “the single most important step we’ve ever taken as a nation to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.”

The White House heralded the agreement as historic Friday and Democrats and clean energy groups praised the standards (though some raised concerns about specific provisions in the agreement that they said could weaken the rules).

4. No.

I think it's a Southland thing.

(R) or (D) in power, there's a rep from the Southland that has stacks of form letters: "Dear Sir/Madam/Corporate entity:

We request that you retain/preserve/forward all records/minutes/recordings/evidence concerning your meeting/retreat/orientation/training/encounter/meal with the President/corporation (named below)/person or persons at ______________________________ on the _____ day of ______ of the current year. Any dawdling or delay will result in a snit, defined as re-issuing of this demand and expanding the parameters to include ________________________________________. We will also consider issuing a subpoena. Thank you. You may defer kissing my hand/other until we meet. ___________________________, District _____, California."

There are several large crates with this form in the office. The occupant of the office may change, but the form remains the same.

8. I think we should "invent" a controversy for him to investigate.

Something juicy like "Disney, now infiltrated by Maoists, funneling money to US socialists in effort to make viable leftist political movements, undermine capitalism."

That should keep him busy for a few weeks until someone calls him "McCarthy" and he realizes he's been had.
