Issa defending Hezbollah is not acceptable to me either.
Yep. He's just trying to save his sorry political ass. If he didn't have to, he wouldn't. But I suspect he is going down. He represents a quite high income and well educated district. They won't be fooled. That airplane incident made him look like a total jackass. And folks aren't too interested in hearing folks whining, particualarly their representatives, that they are being profiled and discriminated against, and isn't that terrible, because they are Arab. Boo hoo.
