Aw, c'mon, we were just warming up to the topic here at FCP! It's all the VRWC's fault!!!!Ralph Peters called Jones a "screaming nut case" who should have never gotten his administration job. "He needs to give Van Jones an ambassadorship to a remote Pacific island and just get him out of there". Oh, shit, not Palau!

Mark Steyn has a great insight on Pepean logic, as reflected in the sayings of ex-Czar Van Jones:
Traveling through the Middle East about six months after 9/11, I was struck by the number of Arabs, from Egypt to the Gulf, who simultaneously believed (a) the Mossad were behind the attacks and (b) it was a great victory for the Muslim world. Van Jones would seem to be an American variant of the same phenomenon: a man who believes 9/11 was (a) blowback for the actions of the US government's war machine and (b) an inside job by the US government's war machine.
Priceless.
A treasure trove of VJ sayings. Ah, why didn't he stay on to fight the rabid wing-nut smears?
Tecs!
Jones said he has been "inundated with calls from across the political spectrum urging me to stay and fight."
Have you been cynically encouraging this poor boy to stay on and fight? That's just terrible, Tecs. Just terrible.
Holy shit the WaPo article is rich. If you hit their link "weeks of controversy" you get one story, from the day before.
Hmmm. If there were weeks of controversy here, then why the fuck hadn't the WaPo and the rest been reporting on it for weeks instead of er, one day?
Steyn priceless indeed.
WaPo chutzpah: right. Friggin' unbelievable, but I guess we're all getting inured to the friggin' unbelievable, till it becomes routine. And it wasn't just the WaPo. The NYT, of course, ABC, CNN, the works. (I checked last night after this the CNN site -- nada, zip, nothing.) How did the most vibrant press in the free world descend to this sorry state of affairs? Sad.
It has been widely reported? Joys of doublespeak.
Pepe cries a river and rails at the VRWC.
It's all a right-wing smear campaign, Tecs. He should fight back.
Well, of course, he's gonna be hired by one of those fat, Soros-funded outfits, and be laughing all the way to the bank. Pepe (if and when he wakes up) will hail him as a Hero of his Planet, and a martyr to the vicious attack dogs of the VRWC. And the beat goes on.
How to delicately (very delicately) throw a good man under the bus.
Hurricane Dean is inconsolable. Dean pointed to Jones' credentials as a Yale Law School graduate and best-selling author. But he didn't go to Harvard! Hah!
CNN wakes up, sort of: Jones didn't read the petition carefully before signing, administration source says. Ain't it a shame!
The treasure trove is wonderful, Tecs. Sorry I didn't see it till now. The VJ laugh-a-thon. Awesome.
GIBBS: He doesn't, but he thanks him for his service.
Priceless. They're scared to death that VJ is gonna go the way of Wright and start blabbing shit.
Let him!
This is indeed a great loss, Tecs, for the nation.
A guy in charge of $30 billion worth of gov't checks and doesn't read what he's signing would be a great boon to me.
You have a very practical mind, Mr Rot. Now, if you could work out a honey pot in all this, you'd be in Rotten nirvana.
I especially like this VJ saying: "If I'd been in another country, I probably would have joined some underground guerilla sect. But as it was I went to an Ivy League Law School." Priceless.
A riddle: what's green on the outside, but red at the core?
And the difference between a guerilla sect and the Yalie Law school turned out to be precious little.
What do you think? He ends up in jail?
