How many high-fives does the Van Jones score warrant?
He called Republicans "assholes": Repug use of words like Hitler and Nazi is so much more genteel. Shucks, why not pack a gun to up the warm, pink and fuzzy factor?
He signed a goofy petition; Shrub's machinations around 9-11 were so bizarrely stupid as to invite contemplation of the absurd.
Obama cut loose a low-level functionary in a patronage job rather then let the matter become a distraction. There was no missed scoop. All the President had to do was dig in his heels to make this story just one more bit of spittle off the foaming mouths of the shout-machine. ¶ 9/15/2009 03:54:00 AM
