It seems, more and more, that Darrell Issa lives in an Alice in Wonderland fantasy world.
It’s a fantasy world in which he saw himself as governor of California after he engineered the recall election of Grey Davis. Issa believed that he would replace Davis in the recall. In true Alice in Wonderland fashion, Issa cried when Arnold Schwarzenegger dashed the hopes of the car alarm mogul when he entered the recall race.
It’s a fantasy world in which the tragedy of last year’s attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, Egypt equals or surpasses the Nixon administration’s secret war waged in Laos and Cambodia or the Iran-Contra scandal of the Reagan administration. Unfortunately for Issa’s fantasy, as more and more reality seeped into the investigation that he spearheaded in Congress, the charges of scandal and cover up lost more and more credibility.
And now, as shown in the link at the top of this post, a group of California environmental organizations honored Congressman Issa for his Alice in Wonderland stance on global warming, delivering a climate change denier award to his office. According to Jenesse Miller, Communications Director for the California League of Conservation Voters, Issa’s non-reality based worldview pretty much excludes almost all of the environment, saying, “That includes everything from ocean protection, to climate change, to species protection, to wilderness protection. You name the environmental issue, and Darrel Issa is usually on the wrong side of it.”
Not that Issa is alone in his world of Big Crazy. Despite the scientific consensus that formed around the issue of human generated climate change, Miller says that 55 percent of Issa’s Congressional GOP colleagues deny the existence of global warming.
