Why Investigate When Media Matters Does It For Him?

Henry "Nostrilitus" Waxman denies that he and his taxpayer-funded henchpersons are monitoring Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin and Sean Hannity.

There are two possibilities at play.

One, he's come under such ridicule from all three of them, or two, he and his goons realize they have Hillary Clinton's frontgroup Media Matters to do the job for him.

Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) on Wednesday denied that he is conducting or ever planned to conduct a congressional investigation of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin and called on a conservative magazine to retract its report that he asked investigators to compile information on the popular conservative talk radio hosts.

"The American Spectator report about a congressional investigation into talk radio is completely false," Waxman, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said in a statement to Cybercast News Service. "There is no investigation."

Waxman was referring to a report Monday that he "has asked his investigative staff to begin compiling reports on Limbaugh, and fellow radio hosts Sean Hannity and Mark Levin based on transcripts from their shows" to build a case for bringing back the Fairness Doctrine.

Naturally, I'm skeptical of anything coming out of Waxman's mouth since all he lives for is petty investigations of Republicans, and think it's likely some staffers flapped their gums a bit much and Waxman realized how stupid he looks.

Via Hot Air.

Speaking of how the odious Waxman looks, you suppose he was separated at birth from IAEA numbskull Mohammed Elbaradei?
