Van Jones: I'm baaaaaaack


You would think that Barack Obama's buddy and former green jobs czar Van Jones would know when to retire in disgrace. But despite Jones' insanity, he keeps popping up at left-wing organizations who are happy to host him. (It must be nice to be a liberal.) He also works at a popular environmental group called the Apollo Alliance.
Jones' most recent invitation comes from the Harvard Club for an event in New York City to discuss job creation. Sen. Kristin Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) will also be speaking on the panel. Gillibrand is what passes in New York for a "moderate Democrat," meaning she was a sponsor of Card Check legislation and was one of seven senators to vote against defunding ACORN. She defended herself by saying, "Irrespective of what Glenn Beck says, Van Jones is a national expert on creating good-paying jobs in emerging renewable energy markets."
This is the equivalent of declaring, "Irrespective of what Keith Olbermann says, David Duke is a national expert on the history of the American South." Jones is an avowed Marxist who served in an organization seeking to overthrow the government and who believes George W. Bush caused 9/11. He isn't an expert in anything because there's no such thing as "green jobs". No one knows how to create them or even what the hell they are exactly. Jones is nothing more than a radical friend of Obama's who likes to talk, and Gillibrand ought to be ashamed to share the stage with him.
