Former Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean said Sunday that the resignation of White House green jobs adviser Van Jones is a "loss for the country."

The outspoken Democrat and former presidential candidate vigorously defended Jones, who resigned in the wake of criticism over his past statements and associations -- including his past support for a group that believes the Bush administration may have been involved in the Sept. 11 attacks.

"I think he was brought down," Dean told "FOX News Sunday," saying he just spoke to Jones. "I think it's a loss for the country."

LOL
If anything, Beck drives me crazy when he covers himself by saying, “America, I hope I’m wrong about this...” and then launches into somebody - DON’T APOLOGIZE FOR EXPOSING THE TRUTH!

I guess technically when I take a dump and flush it away, it's a loss. But I think of more as a relief.

“Dean said Jones didn’t realize what he was signing at the time. “

2 comments:

1. How does Dean know what was in Van Wilder Jones’ mind so many years ago when Van signed the petition?

2. We already have one moron at the White House. Why would we want another moron, slinging round $30 billion big ones who does not read the fine print?

His best defense of Jones is that he is a Yale educated lawyer............

Everyone in Washington is a Harvard or Yale educated lawyer and they’re doing a helluva job. Less Ivy League lawyers and more State U graduates.
