White House Green Jobs Adviser: Republicans Are 'Assholes'

Van Jones, the Obama administration's "green jobs" adviser, told a group of listeners earlier in the year that the reason Republicans are stonewalling the president is because they're "assholes."

Jones' remarks were recorded in a video from February that was posted to YouTube.

He made the remark during an energy lecture in Berkeley, Calif., after a woman in the audience asked him why President Obama and congressional Democrats were having trouble moving legislation -- even though Republicans, with a smaller majority, didn't have as much trouble earlier in the Bush administration.

"Well, the answer to that is, they're assholes," Jones said, to uproarious laughter. "That's a technical, political science term."


Hey Van, :bigbird:

Way to build that "bipartisan coalition".  Idiot.

Wow. At least he's being honest about how they really feel. :rofl:

Now if Rove had said such a thing about the Dems, they would have broken into the regularly scheduled programming on CNN to show the video.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

It's always nice to see the party of "love, tolerance and diversity" reveal their lowbrow elitism.  ::)

So let's be clear here.  Liberals have:

-a filibuster-proof supermajority in the Senate
-an overwhelming majority in the House
-the White House.

Essentially, Republicans can do exactly nothing to stop any legislation or spending bills the liberals wish to pass.  Nothing, apparently, except "be assholes."  It must be sad to be so incompetent and impotent that all your opponent has to do is be a big meanie-face and all your plans go to shit.  And when I say "sad," I really mean, "hi-effing-larious."

With Fat Teddy's death also went the filibuster proof senate majority.

-a filibuster-proof supermajority in the Senate Actually one vote short since Dead Ted expired
-an overwhelming majority in the House  Not so if you deduct 35 "Blue Dogs"
-the White House. Unfortunately true
