Republican Congressman Darryl Issa is the Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. "Oversight and Government Reform". A big deal.
This puts him in the crosshairs of the NY Times slime department.
On August 14th they published a 2,700 page feature - including an ominous pircture of Issa.

I didn't read it, but I did see this article published yesterday -
Issa Demands Page One Retraction from NY Times
Who to believe? The NY Times attacking an important Republican, or a politician defending himself. Now there's a tough call.
Here's an excerpt from Issa's defense article
“It's disappointing that the so-called 'paper-of-record' has decided to publish a story that is nothing more than a compilation of left-wing blog posts that are easily found by a simple Google search. It's the same old playbook, every time Darrell Issa starts gaining ground, the left-wing smear machine goes on the attack. If anything, this story validates the work that the Chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee is pursuing.”

The congressman’s office said the article contained “13 erroneous statements”
Now Issa a sometimes guest on the Don Imus show. It will be interesting to see if "Imus inthe Morning" books him this week.
