Out of the political frying pan and into the partisan fire for Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

A day after apologizing and taking responsibility for the problem-plagued Obamacare website, Sebelius got subpoenaed on Thursday by one of the fiercest Republican critics of the administration -- House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa of California.

The subpoena demands documents and information relating to the HealthCare.gov website, a spokesman for Issa's committee told CNN's Lisa Desjardins.

If only Issa had a track record of his questioning leading somewhere.

Has he had anybody step down after meeting his committees?

Issa is fierce? Had the parties been reversed and Pelosi’s crew in charge, many people would have been incarcerated and fined by now. I’m still waiting for some concrete results from all the hours of hearings Issa has held. Waiting....

Evidently word is out that if you put Issa on it, the “investigations” go nowhere.

"A day after apologizing and taking responsibility for the problem-plagued Obamacare website, Sebelius got subpoenaed on Thursday by one of the fiercest Republican critics of the administration -- House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa of California."

This sentence is laughable. CNN should have just said: "Geez people, she apologized already! What more do you want? Now she's being subpoenaed by that big, bad man named Darrell Issa."

Issa needs to retrofit the Fed’s dollar printing machine into a subpeona printing machine.

Indeed. Subpoenas will get nothing. Obastard's people will stonewall, Issa and Boehner will walk away and say, "What else could we do?" Then we're off to the next topic. How are the Fast and Furious and IRS investigations going these days?

Yep, Issa is the kiss of death, isn't it. It's also akin to when legislatures, especially state legislatures, "table" things. Once tabled, you never hear about it again.

Come on Issa... prove this wrong!
