Issa gets the Chicago treatment: Plouffe Suggests Issa May be a Criminal

White House Dossier "The kerfuffle over House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa’s calling White House Press Secretary Jay Carney a liar is nothing compared to the ugly Chicago, Alinskyite politics that reared its head in response.
Plouffe
"The very president who was supposed to be above something as pedestrian as politics has shown once again that he is in fact the ugliest practitioner of it since Richard Nixon.
" “Strong words from Mr Grand Theft Auto and suspected arsonist/insurance swindler. And loose ethically today,” tweeted David Plouffe Sunday in response to news that Issa had called into question Carney’s honesty."

...."This is effectively Obama roughing up his chief antagonist on Capitol Hill in the most coarse and malignant manner. It’s a sure signal to other White House allies, on Capitol Hill and elsewhere, to begin trying to destroy Issa.
"And it’s a desecration of Obama’s office. Then again, that’s nothing much new.
"But more interestingly, it may be a sign that the White House is much more gravely concerned about Issa than it lets on."
