I did not even know this was a controversy until this morning. Van Jones, the WH green Jobs adviser evidently called Republicans 'assholes'. He apologized for it. While I understand the sensitivity of working in the White House and the politics involved, I for one would like to say I stand with you, Van Jones.
Obama green jobs adviser Van Jones is apologizing for calling Republicans A-holes a month before joining the White House staff in March 2009.

His office just sent over this statement from him:

“These comments, made before I joined the administration, were clearly inappropriate and I apologize for the offensive words I chose to use during that speech. 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.” Source.
I am sure the Republicans will now let the issue go away, right? Yeah, probably not. I had a small moment of hope and then I remembered: water is Wet and the GOP is guaranteed to express their displeasure over a WH appointee. So -- as we enter the weekend with a fresh pile of faux outrage, let's keep in mind the nobility of the Republican Party and those that represent it. Please feel free to add to the list. In no particular order, I present my list of A-holes. Should I ever get a job with the White house I promise to retract this list:

Glenn Beck
John Boehner
Eric Cantor
Rush Limbaugh
Michael Steele
Chuck Grassley
John McCain
Sarah Palin
Michelle Bachman
Saxby Chambliss
James Inhoffe
David Vitter
Michael Savage
Bill O'Rieilly
Dick Cheney
Newt Gingrich
Paul Broun
Jack Kingston
Peter King
Jim Demint
Joe Scarborough
Sean Hannity
Bobby Jindal
Rick Perry


Now I know I am missed more than a few assholes. That Said, While Van Jones needed to apologize, I don't. The above is an A list of A-holes.

Have a great Labor Day Weekend!

Raine
