It’s not often that I find myself in agreement with uber lefty Jane Hamsher. But I found it hard to argue with her defense of recently deposed czar Van Jones. Ms. Hamsher notes, as aptly put by Tom Maguire , “he wasn’t any crazier than the rest of us”:

Ms. Hamsher further ruefully notes that in the face of conservative attacks “no coherent liberal critique was offered…”.
Indeed. Lord knows we have all been waiting for something coherent from our friends on the left for oh so many moons.
