The Bigger They Czar, the Harder They Fall

I wrote a bit about the Van Jones debacle for this week’s Patriot Post Digest. A sample:

Jones’s name appeared on a petition stating that the Bush administration deliberately brought about the 9/11 terrorist attacks to have an excuse to go to war. Jones would only say that he did not review the language of the petition carefully. How complicated must a petition be for a Yale man like Jones not to understand?

The White House hopes that this business will end with Jones’s resignation. But there are at least 30 (some count over 60) additional so-called czars in the White House who also could use a little public scrutiny. There already exist cabinet positions and executive offices for all the tasks that these new apparatchiks manage, but Obama brought them on board as “advisers” to circumvent the checks and balances of presidential appointments.
