Keeping the Heat On

I’m delighted to see that professional victimologist, truther and communist Van Jones has decided to retire to private life, but this administration is rich in potential future late-Saturday-night “resignations”, and I hope he’s not the last. Valerie Jarrett, for example, strikes me as another person whose vetting seems to have been perfunctory, if not non-existent. Tied to housing scandals in Chicago - involving Tony Rezko, no less – she is currently serving as a senior advisor and assistant to the President for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs. She’s a long-time mover and shaker on Chicago’s political scene, and was instrumental in helping to heave Barry into the White House.

Don’t hold your breath about Jarrett, though. Unlike the buffoonish Jones, Jarrett is probably too valuable to Obama because of her many business and political ties, as well as being somebody who knows too much; I doubt she can be unceremoniously dumped. And besides, with the kind of cover being given even to a nut-bucket like Jones by these sacred media cows, it’s going to be difficult to force Obama to cram too many more people under that monster bus. The best way to get rid of the radicals and crooks in the Obama administration is to get rid of the administration itself in 2012. Until then, the next best thing is to substantially lighten the Democratic representation in the House and the Senate in 2010, and force the President to drag himself in the direction of something at least resembling the center.

I view this success as an example for the Obamabots. A fair number of them are upset that the administration didn't stand up to Fox News and Glen Beck. This was NOT covered by the MSM, yet was enough of an issue for Obama to throw Jones under the bus.

After making enough back flips, breaking enough promises, and caving into the "wrong" pressures, and his base support is getting unhappy with The Won™.

Not all of them, of course. Especially those who are members of the Obama Cult. But some, and probably not for the reasons that you and I would accept. But, hey, I'll take a little success where I can.

And after throwing Jones under the bus, the other Czars have to be feeling a little twitchy right now....

New job, new city, new cable company... which has Fox news (previously, all I could get was CNN).

Paco, what do you make of what Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh have been going on about?

What exactly was Mr. Jones' expertise in green buildings? Isn't it pretty obvious that Obama is creating these positions for his political hacks? Don't you wonder what kind of "directives" will be forthcoming soon?

How many more times can Obama cry racism when he has to fire one of these clowns?

"Resigned", Isophorone. Van Jones "resigned". He threw himself under the bus for The Won™.

Although, oddly enough, the announcement was made smack dab in the middle of a three day weekend, at midnight. Just like all the other unpleasant announcements issued by the White House of late. Surely, that's just a coincidence.

And if you believe that, are you interested in buy a bridge in the New York area.....?

I think the "media sacred cows" (Hah!) are literally whistling past the internet, rather than indulging in any great outrage over Van Jones. They keep getting put in the position of having to "report" (read "spin") a news story detrimental to their DemoGod after the fact. Consequently, their influence and power is slowly shrinking down to a small demographic of old people who don't understand that newfangled computer thing, and it's scaring the shiz out of them.
