Count on Issa to keep on running his mouth…

Shortly after Darrell Issa dubbed Jay Carney a “paid liar” on CNN last Sunday, House Republican leadership staffers called the California Republican’s aides with a message: Cool it.

Issa’s aides promptly responded: The remark was over the top, they agreed, according to sources familiar with the interaction.
