White House Green Jobs Adviser Apologizes for Calling Republicans 'Assholes' [Van Jones]

"I apologize for the offensive words I chose to use during that speech," Jones said in a written statement to Politico. "They do not reflect the views of this administration, which has made every effort to work in a bipartisan fashion, and they do not reflect the experience I have had since I joined the administration."

"... because we never let any racist republicans anywhere near our planning sessions or even the White House, for that matter."

Baloney. This guy is in deep, we don’t need Commies in D.C. An apology won’t cut it.

Just imagine if this had been a Bush administration hack who had said this. He would have been hounded til he resigned.

Any chance of clearing up this post?

It needs the correct link, correcting “White” and name “Van Johnson”. Shucks! Too early in AM.

What a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, young man. (That’s the way the press characterizes all Liberal Democrats......brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, ad nauseum.)

Maybe they should change that to self-appointed, brilliant intellectual geniuses. (They’re all so smart, so bright, so cool, so revolutionary, so hateful...)

IMHO

I can't accept an apology for a slur made against me, if the apology isn't made to me. I have to wonder if this guy can even make eye contact when he speaks to anyone...

The man works in the White House and has the President’s ear, and he still is compelled to call people names like a high school kid. He needs to fall on his own sword for the President.

He's apologizing for bad taste. He still believes in the sentiments expressed: We are axiomatically correct and good and the Republicans are Res ipsa loquitur wrong and bad.

This betrays a puerile unwillingness to even attempt to understand your political opponents, and more importantly, an inability to engage in serious argument. In his mind, there are no alternatives, no trade offs, no issues.
