Sure, Now They Hurry

A quick excerpt from today’s Jolt:

We have the administration that took three days to issue a presidential statement on an attempted bombing of a plane over Detroit, took ten days to publicly comment on the oil spill in the Gulf, took three months to review the policy in Afghanistan and took fourteen months to respond to governors’ request for U.S. troops on the Mexican border suddenly managing to move as fast as lightning on Sherrod. It’s surreal.

ABC News’ Jake Tapper, a night ago: “Last night, an Obama administration official called Sherrod in her car and demanded she pull over and type a resignation letter in her Blackberry. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a statement that ‘There is zero tolerance for discrimination’ at his agency. None of them bothered to learn that the incident in question happened 24 years ago when Sherrod worked for a nonprofit.”

Van Jones didn’t get this treatment.
