President Barack Obama’s adviser Van Jones has resigned amid controversy over past inflammatory statements, the White House said early Sunday.

You can almost feel the disappointment in the reporter’s tone.

“Rick Duncan” of Colorado Springs was a prominent anti-war activist who claimed to have served in Iraq on three tours of duty AND survived the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon. He has now been unmasked as a lying mental patient.

Michelle Malkin also notes he’s not the first. This dude had been quoted by media extensively as an authority on veterans’ issues and he was a fake. No doubt it happened because the so-called “journalists” he spoke to wanted to believe he was who he said he was. Finding an anti-war vet, even a fake one, is a like winning the lottery for the left.

Scare Force One flies past the Statue of Liberty

Looks like the Obama staffer who is supposedly responsible for the Scare Force one debacle has been asked to fall on his sword:

The White House aide who authorized the controversial Air Force One photo-op flight last week around the Statue of Liberty is out of a job.

President Obama has accepted the resignation of Louis Caldera, the director of the White House Military Office, the Daily News learned Friday.

A secretary of the Army in the Clinton administration, Caldera took the fall for the public relations fiasco arising from the April 27 flyover, which was designed to replace a publicity photo of Air Force One flying past Mount Rushmore with a similar shot of Obama’s 747 jumbo jet over the Statue of Liberty.

Michelle Malkin notes:

Caldera’s disappearance under the Obama bus does not and should not end questions about the origin of the p.r. photo-op mission’s request, who participated, how it went down, and where protocol failed. And remember: Someone was planning a second flyover photo-op in Washington, D.C.

Great. A $327,000 publicity stunt that scared a nervous city almost cost double that.

Hawaii’s state Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill Wednesday to celebrate “Islam Day” _ over the objections of a few lawmakers who said they didn’t want to honor a religion connected to Sept. 11, 2001.

Oh yeah, and what day did they pick? September 24–13 days after September 11. Nice.

BTW, as Michelle Malkin noted, there’s no “Christianity Day” in Hawaii. Surprising, isn’t it?

That part was serious.

The funny part of the article is when they quote Obama’s PR flack Robert Gibbs who describes Obummer’s Supreme Court vetting process as “rigorous.”

ROFLMAO! Yeah, right. Anyone with a brain knows the only thing “rigorous” about Obummer’s vetting process is that the chosen candidate has to a hardcore leftist.

No, this is not an actual picture of Arlen Specter

Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania finally made the switch to the Democrat party today. Naturally, according to Specter, the reason for his flip-flop is “I now find my political philosophy more in line with Democrats than Republicans.”

Well, no duh. The rest of us already knew that a long time ago.

But Gateway Pundit notes from a statement by Specter the REAL reason he’s making the switch:

…I am unwilling to have my twenty-nine year Senate record judged by the Pennsylvania Republican primary electorate.

I would’nt either, ya RINO.
