Meg Whitman, former CEO of eBay, considered by many to be a leading Republican candidate for governor of California, told reporters in May that she is a “huge fan” of President Obama’s controversial ex-green jobs czar, Van Jones.

Is this an example of what can happen when would-be politicians become too star-struck with personalities in the entertainment or political industries? Or was Ms. Whitman simply practicing for new role as a “politician?”

As we’ve reported “In Brief” over recent days, “green jobs czar” Van Jones has resigned. At this moment, the Senate is voting on a procedural motion involving the nomination of Cass Sunstein.

Mr. Sunstein has been chosen by President Obama to be his “regulatory czar,” the man in charge of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. What’s THAT, you ask? Mr. Sunstein would oversee regulations throughout the federal government, including the EPA, OSHA, and much more. Below are six interesting articles offering a variety of points of view about Mr. Sunstein and more of the President’s Czars.

The vote will take place today, September 9th, or tomorrow, September 10th. Have an opinion to offer to your Senator before the vote? Call them immediately from this list if you want your voice to be heard.
