Who's Next?


Well, Van Jones resigned.
So, who is gonna be the Green Jobs Czar now?
Hmmmm.
To make everyone happy, the candidate:
  • Can't be black.
  • Can't be white.
  • Can't be a Dem.
  • Can't be a Rep.
Hmmmm.
How about a woman:
  • With ties to the Green Party? (But, endorsed Obama in 2008.)
  • With environmental cred.?
  • Who is also an economist?


How about....Winona LaDuke?


Just puttin' it out there.

You left out: Can't believe 911 was a conspiracy.

That is pretty damning.

Word to the wise: the Internet is forever.

I've wasted 15 minutes with nothing to show because you didn't post a link to your enigmatic comment.

Word to the wise: don't talk in riddles; post a goddam (crosses himself) link.

Apologies, I thought it was common knowledge that he signed 911truth.org petition. I believe the only way to "sign" is via the Internet.

CT, what does that even MEAN??

We don't want a bigger piece of the pie. We want a different pie.

Sounds good. Unintelligible snark aside, she sounds like someone that ought to be in government. Thanks for the suggestion.

Seriously? A women?!

Ok...you sold me...as long as she isn't native american.

DOH!

I like the quotes.

user-pic

hahahahaaaaah.

Oops.

:o)

You left out - "It can't be someone who thinks black kids would never do another Columbine."

Proving yet again that you are an utter racist asshole. As though we needed the additional proof.

user-pic

Jones makes a racist comment and that makes me a racist? Great logic.

I would nominate her for this quote alone:

I would like to see as many people patriotic to a land as I have seen patriotic to a flag.

Good one, Flowerchild.

Wonderful idea, Flower. Winona LaDuke is such a natural match for this position in the Obama administration that it seems a no-brainer. She would be a superb choice.
Imagine not only qualified leadership but also real demographic representation in government. The howling from the Right might deafen us. Poor "white men are under attack" Pat Buchanan would probably have a stroke.

user-pic

Pat B having a stroke over it would mean we're definitely making progress. But seriously, I love the idea of finding a place for someone like Winona LaDuke. I'll have faith again when I see movement in that direction.

user-pic

I also thought she would make a natural match. When I heard about who had been made 'Green Jobs Czar', I thought, hmmm, LaDuke would have been a good choice for that. Then Jones resigned and so I thought I'd just throw it out there.

Thanks for stopping by, Wendy. I sincerely hope things are going well for you.

Sounds good to me Flower. quite a resume.

although I am upset about the resignation

user-pic

Do not despair, Mr. Day.
Doors closing...windows opening...Mr. Jones will find another foothold.
