“We have about two dozen so-called czars — the pay czar, the car czar, all these czars in the White House,” said Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), speaking on “Fox News Sunday.” “And that really is an affront to the Constitution, because the Constitution was set up to say that the president is the executive, but the people who manage the government — the secretaries, the Cabinet members, of which I was one — have to be approved by the Congress and have to report to the Congress.”
The only person Sunday to offer a defense of Jones was former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, who has emerged as a titular leader of the country’s liberal movement.
Dean told “Fox News Sunday” that Jones was “brought down,” and he called it a “loss for the country.”
He said that he had spoken with Jones, and that Jones should not be held responsible for signing the Sept. 11 petition.
“He was told by the people waving those clipboards around that he was signing something else,” Dean said. “I think that’s too bad.”
[... He said that ... Jones should not be held responsible
for signing the Sept. 11 petition. (Jones) was told
by the people waving those clipboards around that he
was signing something else...]
What a Grade School excuse.
Here’s a guy that signed something he didn’t read?
We’re supposed to believe that and then excuse him
for it? Then we’re supposed to believe he is the
smart guy advising the President? None of it works
for me. The only people it’s working for are those
who also DON’T READ WHAT THEY SIGN ... into law!
Sure thing, Dean, you little fruitcake. Van Jones said this at a rally on Sept. 12th, 2001.
"The bombs the government drops in Iraq are the bombs that blew up in New York City," said Van Jones, director of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, who also warned against forthcoming violence by the Bush Administration. "The US cannot bomb its way out of this one. Safety at home requires justice abroad."
