Sniff...sniff...sniff...we smell some oppo research cooking. That's the only explanation for the right-wingosphere's delayed reaction to Comrade Marinucci's fine camera work from FOUR MONTHS AGO when California GOP hopeful Meg Whitman told her that she was a "huge fan" of the work of Van Jones. Said she met Jones on a cruise.
At that time, Van's biggest sin was his recent appointment as a green jobs advisor to President O. Then he was green. Now, he's red.
For those who don't set the dial to the right, Jones is this month's Bill Ayers to righties thanks to Fox Newsite Glenn Beck going all Joe McCarthy on Van -- inaccurately and/or hyperbolically -- for his past as a "Communist". The reason: Jones is the co-founder of Berkeley's Color of Change, the online organization that led a successful advertiser boycott of Beck's show after he went all Grand Dragon on Obama. Or maybe Beck was still ticked about Van calling Republicans "a-holes" a few months before he joined the Administration. Jones has since apologized.
Nonetheless, Camp Poizner is all over this, sending a missive today noting that Bakersfield radio (KNZR 1560 AM, which carries Beck's radio show) host Jaz McKay "criticized GOP gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman over her support of Van Jones." And they use -- ahem! -- Comrade M.'s four-month-old video.
Anways, Jaz played the clip, then added some commentary afterwards, which Team Poiz dutifully recorded.... probably because McKay said "(Whitman) is the eBay chick, right? And she is running for governor. She has more money than Steve Poizner, who's the only hope the state really has at this point."
After playing the clip, McKay said: "Who doesn't love a Republican who goes on global warming cruises with communists, right?"

Is Meg Twitman related to Meg Ryan? All most all Meg’s I have ever known, are the definition of *Dumb
Blondes Behaving Badly.* The only difference is Twitman’s Girth.
~LOL~ I knew I didn’t like her for a lot of other reasons, not I can add this.
Poizner in 2010. We have no choice.
Hmmmmmmm and isn’t she the person McCain claimed he most admired in that Saddleback debate?
Then the author is an idiot: Beck is NOT a Republican.
What a pathetic article. And of course it has to call Glenn Beck racist (”...he went all Grand Dragon on Obama.”)
Oh good grief.
I didn’t think it could get any worse than Arnie or McCain for RINO candies.
I guess I’ll just vote for Gruesome Any Twosome Newsom & get it over with./s
My head was already fixin’ to explode & I saw this.
Jesus Christ is my Savior; I am a Mormon. My foundation is the solid rock.
I thank God for Glenn Beck. He is a voice crying in the wilderness. Him and Sean Hannity. Dont know what wed do without them.
Please stop knocking Mormons. Thank you.
AMEN (I’m not a Mormon, but I agree with your statements)
Why would any Republican vote for that communist Pile of crap!
” isnt she the person McCain claimed he most admired”
Yes, McCain supports her, that’s all I need to know right there. More RINOs. RINOs need to be on the endangered species list until extinct.
>Yes, McCain supports her, thats all I need to know right there.<
That right there was enough for me to cross her off the list too.
Where in God’s name did this pig Whitman come from?
Please tell me she is not a serious candidate to be the REPUBLICAN nominee for governor...
Given the fact that the CA assembly will probably never go Republican again, does it really matter who is governor?
No . It does not matter.
Yes, the author is an idiot.
Poizner is pro abortion? Good grief...
Do the California GOP have ANYBODY who is any good?
Mcclintock .
Heh... Exactly one second after I clicked “post” I remembered Tom. Thanks for nailing me on it, though.
FRegards,
