Issa: Corruption = What I Disagree With

via Steve Benen:

Back in October, Republican Representative Darrell Issa, now Chair of the House Oversight Committee, told Rush Limbaugh he considered President Obama "one of the most corrupt presidents in modern times." Pressed to provide a single piece of evidence of actual, you know, corruption, Issa has finally brazened his way to this bit of flabbergasting double talk: "I think people misunderstand the meaning of the word corrupt, and obviously, CNN does. 'Corrupt', or 'corrupted' or 'failure', it's no different than a disc drive that's given you some bits that are wrong…. I have never said it's illegal. I've never made any of the statements that are often said on CNN that implied wrong-doing of the president at a criminal level." In other words, everybody is wrong to think corruption means what it means. Corruption just means getting some of the bits wrong, according to Darrell Issa. Give that man his gavel and let the witch-hunts begin!
