Who is this sexy, powerful man of mystery?
Well, he is Van Jones, was a Special Adviser for Green Jobs at the Council on Environmental Quality, author of the best-seller, The Green Collar Economy, co-founder of ColorofChange.org and one hot man... Okay, I'll stop with the "hot" references.
But in a former life, Jones was in the group Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM), but left the group to get into politics. But that affiliation and other issues became fodder for the loon Glenn Beck.
Glenn believes that Van has an agenda to mindswipe America and other crazy ass stuff. Besides the ColorofChange group, Van has said some interesting things that sparked drama:
Well, Glenn and Fox News had a field day. But, instead of causing more drama for himself and Obama, Van is stepping aside, saying:
"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide. I have been inundated with calls - from across the political spectrum -- urging me to 'stay and fight.' But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future."
I hope we haven't seen the last of Van.
