Van Jones

By Creature

Put me in the mad-as-hell camp over his resignation. Van Jones was no more radical than, say, Dick Cheney or John Bolton or any member of the Congressional Birther Caucus. The slime campaign and hissy fit against Jones was about getting an Obama scalp and it worked because the administration (and Democrats generally) have no spine for the fight. The double standard against Democrats is alive, well, and, more importantly, self-inflicted.

Why does everything involving a big "D" these days leave me so disheartened?
