Uh oh, Jake Tapper is reporting:
Asked if controversial White House official Van Jones continues to enjoy the confidence of President Obama given recent revelations about his involvement with those who suggest the Bush administration knew about the 9/11 attacks and allowed them to happen in order to justify a war for oil, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs Friday morning would only say “he continues to work in this administration.”
Or as Ace says, “Present!”
DrewM’s a betting man: I’ve got Sunday night in the “When Will Van Jones Be Publicly Tossed Under The Bus?” pool.
William Teach weighs in with, “Not any time this year”;
as long as the majority of the media ignore who this wackjob is and what he believes. This admin seems to revel at having tax cheats and crazies working for them, and, heck, a good chunk of the Defeatocrat base are Twoofers.
I was thinking that a Friday night news dump before a holiday weekend would be the ideal time, but what do I know?
UPDATE:
Michelle Malkin reports that some GOP Congresscritters are weighing in, (it’s about dang time):
Sen. Kit Bond urges congressional hearing on Mr. Jones; GOP Rep. Pence calls for resignation
The heat is on.
UPDATE II:
Should Van Jones Keep His Job?
