Jones likens Bush to a 'crackhead' in latest video gaffe By Tony Romm - 09/04/09 02:33 PM ET

Another video of White House green jobs czar Van Jones has hit the Web today: This time, Jones labels former President George W. Bush a "crackhead" for his policy to lower the price of foreign oil.

Although it is unclear when and where Jones delivered his diatribe, this latest video is the first in which the subject of Jones' remarks somewhat relates to his work with the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

The clip picks up with Jones in the middle of a sentence: "...the way to bring the price of energy down is to increase the supply. Just begin to drill more. To drill here, to drill there, to liquefy coal... do whatever you can to get more petroleum into our system. And we heard our president saying just that. That's what he wants to do. But I hate to say this, and I hope I don't offend anybody, but the President of the United States sounded like a crackhead when he said that."

As the audience digested the line, vocalizing their shock, Jones began to simulate the president experiencing drug withdrawal. "Just a little bit more, just a little bit more ... just a little bit more petroleum," he added.

"It was shameful; am I wrong?" Jones asked of the former president's energy policy. "Like a crackhead trying to lick the pipe for a fix."

Already, Jones has been excoriated for calling Republicans "a**holes" and signing a 9/11 "truther" petition. The White House, meanwhile, has said it stands by the embattled green jobs czar.

Did you hear the audience? I think this must be Jon Stewart’s stoner laugh track.

“Mack Daddy the Zebra’s” administration is not a “Gathering of Eagles” but a “Gathering of Morons, Thieves, Liars and America Haters”.

this dude is a real piece of work

I love hearing Jones’ speeches. You can really tell he’s an Ivy League Law School grad.

When in absolute reality...Bush's policies on lowering oil prices worked and it was actually the crackheads who opposed those policies.

As regards Jones, just look at Obama's inner circle throughout his life...and the picture is clear.

Van Jones = Frank Davis = Bill Ayers = Bernardine Dohrn = Jeremiah Wright = Tony Rezko = Rashid Khalidi = Raila Ordinga = Carol Browner = Rahm Emanuel = John Holdren = Rosa Brooks = Eric Holder = Ezekiel Emanuel = BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

This is who the man is. A cauldron of corruption, greed, marxism and communism...with disturbing ties to radical Islam.

...he is also now the President of the United States of America, and he is going about, with a will, and very methodically destroying the free market and fundamental republican principle within our nation.

and what is wrong with bringing down the price of oil????

One of the good things about Jones is that he is vocalizing what Obama and the handlers think. It can keep us on the lookout for each thing that he espouses.

I assume Jones’ referral to Bush as a ‘crackhead’ was meant as a compliment. Jones must have been comparing Bush to one of his heroes, Marion Barry.

It increases profit margins for corporations where "Pookie" does not work.

That’s all you need to know!....radicals everywhere!...Our White House has been turned into Berkeley!

"Like a crackhead trying to lick the pipe for a fix."

Speaking from experience, I presume.

[RummyChick]

are you sure they said that..last I heard all Gibbs would say is that he still works at the White House.

[TigersEye]

It’s a target rich environment. Fire for effect!

Exactly, they are all the very same, most are not as in-your-face as Van Jones which makes them even more dangers to the freedoms Americans enjoy.

When it comes to Van Jones, “latest...gaffe” is relative.
