If Jones had said this while serving in the Bush admin, I’d have groaned out loud and felt he deserved any criticism he’d get - I do not pay govt officials to tell lame, questionable, inappropriate jokes on my time! If this is SOP for Jones, I’m amazed he’s gotten as far as he has with this bad judgement...oh wait, he’s in the Obambi admin...never mind...

Do you really think that politicians or political appointees have not been telling jokes as part of their speeches since time immemorial? You think he's the first one to do so? The lame, questionable and inappropriate part is all your opinion....
