Gowdy is controlled opposition. He always has been. As a politician he talked just enough truth to keep his constituents voting for him. He played a skillful game in being the voice of the opposition during the Clinton mess, so there was no need to have someone who really wanted to get to the bottom of things to take the lead instead.

As soon as he left the House to go to Fox news, his entire facade crumbled.

Eh, I don't know if he always has been. And I don't know if he's controlled opposition as in behind-the-scenes people were controlling him. Maybe.

But I made up my mind on him when he left to go be on fucking television. He had momentum and he was getting recognition. He had a chance to be a top conservative leader if he wanted it. Instead of took a paycheck so he could work less and do absolutely nothing except talk.

So either/or. Controlled op or sellout. Doesn't really matter. He's an embarrassment.
