House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member
Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Domestic Policy Subcommittee Ranking
Member Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) have requested that controversial
Obama "czar" Kevin Jennings appear before the Oversight
committee.
In a letter to Committee Chairman Eldophus Towns (D-MD) and
Subcommittee Chairman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), Issa and Jordan
write, "The vetting undertaken by this Administration during its
hiring processes, as well as the standards it imposes, appear
inadequate. In some cases, individuals have displayed troubling
behavior that renders them unfit to serve the American people.
This is especially true for Mr. Jennings."

WWAAHHHH! OBAMA WON WAAAH! Seriously, get over it. First of all,
"czars" are simply policy advisors, they actually do very little.
Second, Bush had more "czars" than Obama ever did. Why was no one
in Congress rabidly attacking his policy advisors? Third, Kevin
Jennings has been cleared of any wrongdoing and the former
student he advised has actually come out in support for Jennings.
Fourth, this is obviously part of the right-wing anti-gay agenda
- the only reason for opposing Jenning's is clear - he's a gay
man, and conservatives simply can't deal with gay. He's an
extremely experienced and qualified individual in the field of
education. This boils down to one, fat, stinky word: HOMOPHOBIA.
Seriously? Get a life.

Bush had 9 czars! Obama has 32 czars! Only lefthand logic could
claim Bush had more czars than Obama!!!!

so why was Larry Craig treated like dirt?
no answer because you don't want to discuss it, you just want to
win gay brownie-points.
Larry Craig was treated like dirt because he's an anti-gay
hypocrite who was caught trying to solicit gay sex in an airport
men's room. Personally, I don't think it's anyone's business who
Larry Craig likes to get it on with, but if he prefers anonymous
trysts with men, he probably shouldn't vote against gay rights
issues. Seems more than a mite hypocritical.

Jennings has no business being any where near young people: Even
more outrageous is the fact he's been appointed to an official
position by President Obama.
What is it about fisting that you don't understand?
The Democrat party is the party of death and perversion. November
2010 can't come soon enough.
More to the point of the article, I would welcome the opportunity
for Mr. Jennings to testify before the House Oversight Committee.
I would also welcome the former student's testimony. "Brewster"
has already publicly stated that he was 16 at the time (legal age
of consent in NJ) and that regardless he didn't have sex with
anyone.
I do seem to recall that one of those conservative handbooks, the
one called "The Bible" has some very strong words regarding
"bearing false witness." I'm eager to see these hearings go
forward so that certain conservative congressmen can offer their
deep apologies for hurling about baseless accusations of moral
turpitude.

Since you've mentioned the Bible, I think it's only fair to say
that it also had 'some very strong words' about Sodom and
Gemmorrah, too. Remember that little story? Charming, wasn't it?
Heck, Yes! Get Jennings up there in front of the American
people--let's see what the good 'czar' has to say for himself.
There's a LOT we don't know about Jennings and his support of
NAMBLA. Get everything out in the open!
