UNBEFREAKIN'LIEVABLE: VAN JONES'S IMMEDIATE SUPERVISOR WAS ENERGY ADVISOR TO FORMER CALIFORNIA GUV GRAY DAVIS

WEEKLY STANDARD:

Former White House staffers I’ve spoken with say they would bet the FBI uncovered much of Jones’s past--especially if Jones truthfully answered their questions. What would then happen is this: the background report would go to the Counsel’s office (run by Greg Craig), who would then raise the question of whether what the FBI found was disqualifying with the the potential employee’s boss. Jones was hired by Council on Environmental Quality Chair Nancy Sutley, but he presumably (and ultimately) reports to the chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel. Emanuel must have decided that nothing in Jones’s background was alarming enough to prevent his appointment.

So even if Jones is thrown overboard this weekend, it’s worth asking: Did Rahm sign off on Jones’s appointment despite what the FBI must have discovered about his background. And, incidentally--did Jones tell the truth to the FBI?

SO WHO IS NANCY SUTLEY? HERE - NYTIMES:

Is linked to Mr. Obama by: Carol M. Browner, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency under President Bill Clinton and now a senior adviser to the Obama transition team on environmental and energy matters; Ms. Sutley served as her special assistant at the E.P.A. ...

ASIDE: BROWNER IS A SOCIALIST IN GOOD STANDING...

MORE:

Used to work as: A member of the California State Water Resources Control Board and as the top energy adviser to former Gov. Gray Davis.

THAT WOULD THE RE-CALLED GOVERNOR GRAY DAVIS WHO WAS RE-CALLED DUE TO THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY DEBACLE!

SO WHY WAS SHE PICKED? SHE'S A SOCIALIST AND:

... a member of the Southern California lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender steering committee for Mrs. Clinton.

... she supported a requirement that Los Angeles produce 20 percent of its power from renewable sources.

OBAMA PICKED NUTLEY AND JONES AND BROWNER NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE GREENS, BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE REDS.
