AP: President Barack Obama's adviser Van Jones has resigned amid controversy over past inflammatory statements, the White House said early Sunday.Van Jones has a cool name, but it didn't help. Signing a 9/11 "Truther" petition doesn't look so good on a resume.
Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly "green jobs" with the White House Council on Environmental Quality was linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the 2001 terror attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.
If I was a politician or an advisor, I would dread weekends. People often get dumped on a Friday or, in this case, Saturday at midnight on Labor Day Weekend. Easier to dodge the op-eds that way. By Tuesday morning, it never happened.
