No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

I’ll Take Door #3 Please

Major Garrett reports that Van Jones didn’t have to fill out the infamous questionnaire that was intended to remove all surprises from one’s past life. 

In this interview, Major Garrett suggests that Jones’ “miss” was due either to a breakdown in the vetting process or that the Czars are not sufficiently high ranking to merit a vetting.  In his hypothesis, Major misses the obvious door #3.

Jones and likely the other Czars, have become Czars and avoided vetting for one simple reason; they couldn’t pass the vetting.

Is there a question in any one’s mind that if under “relationships and affiliations”, Van Jones would have said “Communist”, he would have passed muster?  Well, he might have given what we know about Obama’s own preferences but he wouldn’t have passed the public review.  

The Czars are Czars for two simple reasons:  1: they align with Obama’s own personal views and 2: Making the views public via a public vetting process would ensure that they were never accepted for the position.
