We have had all sorts of ‘ers’ this summer. We have had lots of different birthers, including Lou Dobbs. They continue to beat the drum that President Obama is not an American citizen. Ridiculous!
Then we dealt with a truther, Van Jones, who somehow managed to get his name on a petition suggesting the Bush administration had some prior knowledge of the attacks on the Pentagon and the twin towers. Ridiculous!
So what’s worse? Truther or birther? Which takes the greatest fugue from reality?
Van Jones used potty mouthy directed at Republicans before he was brought into the administration. Oh well–so did President Bush when he thought the mic was off. So did Vice President Cheney when he dropped the F bomb on the Senate Floor. I didn’t want their heads though. So what.
Van Jones had some associations most of us would prefer not to be part of our government. It was time for him to go because of these associations and because of the truther petition. He was over the top and was causing too much negative attention regardless of any positive qualifications he might have brought to this administraton.
And finally, when are the right wingers going to quit? Never. Not until the last person in the Obama administration has been brought down, if they have their way. Jones was just the appetizer.
Carne más roja, por favor.
