But on Saturday night, Van resigned, and this morning I was sick at heart. Collectively we -- the environmental community, progressives, and the Obama administration -- blew this, and we let our cause, our president, and Van Jones down.

Yes, I blew it. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. At the last minute, I realized the error of my ways, and I started rooting for Van to stay on. It woulda been so much fun; life seems, well, lifeless, after he jumped under the bus. A crying shame. IT'S ALL BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!

A legendary, towering figure of Pepea. Why, oh why, did he have to go? Woe is me. I'm pulling my hairs out.

More: "If Jones left under pressure from the Obama administration then we are in for a very long and painful four years,” said Melissa Harris Lacewell, a political science professor at Princeton University. “I would hate to think that Glenn Beck can simply shout down any member of the administration he chooses to target.”

This is awful. Bring me the smelling salts!

Too far down for me to catch (how would I know you still add to that post), so no VCP for you, Mr Rot. If you wanted me to see your post, you shoulda regurged it, or something. Boy, the amount of teaching I still have to do...

Arianna & Van--a match made in heaven:

“She’s anti-drug war, tough on corporate crime, anti-war, anti-Bush, pro-environment, pro-electoral reform - and smart as hell,” Jones was quoted as writing in the email. “If anybody could pull this off, it would be Arianna.”

From the Greek's mouth.

Did you at least follow the links to Lacewell?

Princeton's gone bananas.
