Oh, that Sam Johnson

CalCon, quick to quote any rightwingnut who supports his position, cites Sam Johnson's (R-TX 3rd) speech before the House on Friday evening. Would this be the Sam Johnson who abused his (former) position on the House Ways and Means committee to have the IRS "investigate" the books of a non-profit organization, the Texans for Public Justice after they alleged campaign contribution irregularities against disgraced (and thankfully former and soon to be convict) House leader Delay?

Of course, the investigation turned up absolutely no inproper accounting or filings by the TPJ. Meanwhile, Delay has been indicted and faces trial for his illegal activities.

Of course, this is the same Sam Johnson who offered to drop not one but two nuclear bombs on Syria back when Bush was lying to the American people about WMD in Iraq.

And the same Sam Johnson who doesn't actually live in his home district -- he just rents an apartment there so that he could be elected!

Oh yeah, that hero.
