van jones – anti-establishment revolutionary?

Monday, September 7th, 2009

I know the conservative circuits have been abuzz with commentary about Van Jones and his extreme viewpoints. But is it true? (check out this clip from Glen Beck’s show.)

I don’t want to rush to judgment, but it’s not looking good for Van Jones, or for the Obama administration. I mean, what were they thinking?

Also, what were Jones’s qualifications? Does a law degree from Yale mean that someone is qualified to steer our economy toward “green jobs,” a position normally associated with someone with extensive managerial experience? (I’m putting aside the idea that government ought not engage in such populist central planning, of course.)
