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.
This guy has foot in mouth disease WORSE than Biden! And we thought it could never happen! LMAO!
Oh PLEASE Obama, keep Van on! This is just to beautiful to end so quickly! LMAO
These same people were griping and complaining about how Bush was the reason gas prices were so high, and then complain because he is RIGHT on how to bring the price down.
I’ll settle for three out of four anytime.
The only reason I used moron is that they really, really believe that everyone will believe and welcome them with open arms.
Indeed, and what’s even more beautiful as it draws further attention to the fact that he has hired many more, just like Jones..... tax cheats etc.
This AH hates oil so much, if I had the power, I'd force this AH to walk, ride a bike or horse everywhere he went.
If this AH keeled over from a seizure, I would demand he be taken to the hospital in a horse drawn cart.
*BUMP* !!!!
Ditto FRiend, DITTO!
Which begs the question of which drugs President Obama is on.
how this guy passed the vetting process is beyond me. wait till his tax records come out!
In that case term moron is quite fitting.
;)
Thank, have a great Holiday.
Put down the glass d**k and step away from the other crackheads!
