The Article:  GOP Rep. Darrell Issa under fire from everywhere after 9/11 comments – (via New York Daily News)

The California congressman who called the Sept. 11 attacks "simply" a plane crash ran for cover Wednesday under a barrage of ridicule from fellow Republicans, first responders and victims’ families.

San Diego GOP Rep. Darrell Issa was under siege for suggesting the federal government had already done enough to help New York cope with "a fire" that "simply was an aircraft" hitting the World Trade Center.

"That is a pretty distorted view of things," said Frank Fraone, a Menlo Park, Calif., fire chief who led a 67-man crew at Ground Zero. "Whether they’re a couple of planes or a couple of missiles, they still did the same damage

Oy…. I’ve heard of "Open Mouth, Insert Foot", But Man, this is like over the top… Doh

He’s from California, Which says quite a bit, and he’s a Republican. Interesting combination.

I also notice his last name, I wonder what his nationality is? Let’s see here, via Wikipedia:

Darrell Issa’s mother is of Bohemian German descent and his father is of Lebanese Christian descent. Issa was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He grew up in a Jewish neighborhood and worked for a rabbi. Issa enlisted in the Army during his senior year of high school, where he served as a bomb disposal technician.

Well, that explains it all! I guess nationality loyalty is thinker than loyalty to the United States.  Why didn’t he just come out and say the 9/1 hijackers were heroes?
