WASHINGTON, D.C. — With faith in government oversight at an all-time low, Washington Democrats announced a new oversight committee to oversee the government oversight committee.
"We've had government oversight committees for years and they never reported the kind of waste and abuse Elon Musk is talking about," said Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. "That's why I had this brilliant idea to establish a new government oversight committee to oversee the current government oversight committee."
"I'm really smart," she added.
The committee, formally established as the Committee on Overseeing Government Subcommittees (COGS), will take on a watchdog role, overseeing the various subcommittees under the Committee on Oversight and Accountability. It will then report to the original government oversight committee, which will take its findings under advisement and launch its own investigation to verify said findings.
"This committee marks the end of government waste and abuse — if there even is any," said Representative Nancy Pelosi, who serves as ranking member. "We are going to get to the bottom of all this so-called government waste with this new committee to oversee the committee that should already be doing that. No matter how long it takes, or how much extra money it costs, we will get to the bottom of whether or not the oversight committee is overseeing anything."
"Who watches the watchmen? I do!" Pelosi added proudly. "I mean we do!"
At publishing time, DOGE had exposed possible fraud in COGS, and a new government oversight committee was created to oversee the overseeing committee that oversaw the original committees. The Committee on Overseeing Committee Watchdogs (COW) will also report its findings to the original committee in the interest of full transparency.
