If you needed proof that the current IRS "scandal" is far less scandalous than the American people have been led to believe—besides the proof that already exists, of course—the New York Times has it for you today.

Attorney General Eric Holder, who is currently embroiled in the Justice Department's AP phone records controversy, was having none of it today when Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) got a little acerbic during a House Judiciary Committee hearing.

Jon Stewart opened tonight's Daily Show by taking a look at the ridiculous contraception hearings that Darrell Issa convened last week. The quoting from Stalin, the "rape of the soul," it's all perfect grist for Jon's mill. Not to mention the fact that no women were on hand.

Darrell Issa's Oversight Committee on financial regulation issues has come under scrutiny by ThinkProgress for changing his name after he left his previous position at Goldman Sachs.

The Obama administration hasn't exactly heaped laurels on Wikileaks for leaking classified state cables. Joe Biden even called Wikileaks founder Julian Assange a "High-tech terrorist!" But Republican attack dog Rep. Darrell Issa wants Assange locked up now.

The GOP won its very own House! Now's the part where they throw their shit all over the walls. Here are the criminal enterprises, like science and community organizers, that the GOP will use its newfound subpoena power to crush.

If Republicans take the House back this fall, there's one thing you can count on: their constant use of subpoena power. Meaning, they'll formally investigate Obama's every turn. They can't wait. In fact, they're already drafting a long, long list.

The Hill has released its annual wealthiest members of Congress list, and for the second consecutive year, ol' horse-face John Kerry wins! (Although it's mostly his wife's money.) But what other members should you shake your pitchforks at this year?
