Score one for the team! An Obama Administration official HAS RESIGNED because of the uproar from the Conservative new media!
President Barack Obama’s adviser Van Jones has resigned amid controversy over past inflammatory statements, the White House said early Sunday.
Van Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly “green jobs,” has been linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the Sept. 11 terror attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.
Jones issued an apology on Thursday. When asked the next day whether Obama still had confidence in him, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said only that Jones “continues to work in the administration.”
The matter surfaced after news reports of a derogatory comment Jones made in the past about Republicans, and separately, of Jones’s name appearing on a petition connected to the events surrounding 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon.
That 2004 petition had asked for congressional hearings and other investigations into whether high-level government officers had allowed the attacks to occur.
Jones flatly said in his statement that he did not agree with the petition’s stand and that “it certainly does not reflect my views, now or ever.”
As for his other comments he made before joining Obama’s team, Jones said: “If I have offended anyone with statements I made in the past, I apologize.”
The Washington Post Blog, 44, has the Jones Statement:
“I am resigning my post at the Council on Environmental Quality, effective today,” Jones said in a statement dated Sept 5 released around midnight on Sept 6.
“On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me.They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide,” he continued. “I have been inundated with calls — from across the political spectrum — urging me to ‘stay and fight.’ But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.”
Wait a second, you mean to tell me, that this stupid idiot thinks that these videos here; are distortions?!?!??! I think not. This idiot got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and now he’s out. Good thing too.
Well, that’s one down and many more to go.
But tonight, we celebrate!

How I like to imagine Obama broke the news: “Let me be clear: Pack your sh*t.”
Oh man, that’s pee in the pants funny! I haven’t laughed like that in a while. Thanks Allah. 😀
Michelle Malkin, as always, is on top the fact that Liberal MSM is going to try and make this idiot into a martyr.
As always, Thanks to Memeornadum for the pull!
