I think Issa was wrong and unprofessional. Cummings is as dumb as a bag of rocks and had nothing to say beyond some idiotic partisan bashing, but he should have been allowed to speak. Just walk out on the old stooge while he's making his rant.
Then again, Cummings probably doesn't get told to STHU nearly enough.

The response from the right in here is actually scarry. I feel like I'm back in the 50's or something. How anybody can defend what Issa did, having his own say for 15 minutes and then refusing to let anybody else speak is beyond me. No, that is NOT standard procedure, and no that was NOT done by Henry Waxman. Waxman did NOT end the hearing without giving anybody else the chance to speak

Happens all the time, claiming racism mocks the gravity of the term and diminishes any valid claims of racism.

So much for the false campaign promise of being the most transparent administration.

Elijah Cummings is a pathetic liar, he doesn't deserve time to go on some pointless political rant.

Cummings doesn't have much room to complain, but Issa still apologized.

Just like when he lied about getting spit on, people are sympathetic to him because he's an ignorant Democrat... sorry that's redundant.

Wait until an idiot like him is actually the speaker. Then who will mute him.
