[FNG19]

One down, many more to go. One line AP release can be found here. I'm sure more info will come out and a more formal (and informative) release will be forthcoming.

Is there a master list of Obama administration resignations / sudden nominee withdrawals anywhere? I can't keep up.

"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me," Jones, special adviser for green jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, said in a statement announcing his resignation just after midnight Saturday. "They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide."

yeah right, you piece of crap.

[snuffy19608]

Shouldn't that read "They have exposed my lies and distortions and used them to divide me from the "Messiahs Most Favored List"? Sorry, best I can do at 0425. Long night at work.

Ha ha...bye bye, asshole!

We'll miss you....well, actually, no we won't!

[YBNORMAL]

What a pussy, if everything about him was a lie then stick with it and show us all the error of our ways. If it all was true then dont say its a smear campaign, admit to what you said because thats what you believe and just understand that thats not what your country wants from its SERVANTS (elected officials).

Its no wonder these people cant garner any respect. Without even looking at their beliefs, I just see that they have no integrity, thats what matters to me anyway.

rant over.

Jones issued an apology on Thursday for his past statements. When asked the next day whether Obama still had confidence in him, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said only that Jones "continues to work in the administration."

So since the whole "czar" deal is drawing criticism because of the lack of Congressional oversight, I guess we're just going to have unnamed people in unnamed positions to avoid all the controversy?

I will only celebrate if the head czar leaves .
